DIY

I have not been,
generally speaking,
a Do-It-Yourself-er.

When walls
require paint,
I look for
a Painter,
with a Capital P,
that stands for
Professional.

So, I suppose
it stands
to reason that,
in the past,
when I required
that rush of
Revelation

that comes
when you
connect with
the You

who has a
Room in
The Mystery,

I went looking
for a Guide,
with a Capital P,
that stands for
Preacher or
Prophet or
Professor.

While I don’t wish
to deny them
their credentials,

these days I
find myself
enchanted
by the notion
that I don’t need
a Professional
to connect with
my Self.

I’ve always had
the Key to
my Room in
The Mystery.

And, when I
meet my Self
in there,

if it feels
like fun
to paint the walls
another color,

I know I can
Do-It-My-Self,
thank you
very much.
