Waltzing With Outlaws<\/strong><\/p>\n

I confess
\nI Am
\nobsessed with
\nThe Mystery of
\nThe Moment,<\/p>\n

and I must
\nchoose whether
\nto greet it with
\nthe Love of a
\ncreator
\nmade in the Image of
\nThe Creator,<\/p>\n

or with
\nthe constraint
\nthat comes when
\nobsession surrenders to
\nFear.<\/p>\n

Fear creeps
\ninto The Mystery
\narmed with
\ndoctrines and
\ndisciplines,<\/p>\n

while Love
\ngambols and gambles
\nthat Freedom
\nwill lead to
\nleaping
\nImagination<\/p>\n

that embraces
\nThe Mystery
\nlike a lover
\nenamored with
\nthe Unknown,<\/p>\n

the romance
\nof the wry and
\nridiculous,<\/p>\n

the wisdom of
\nthe absurd,
\nthe melody of
\nthe melancholy,<\/p>\n

the lust for
\nlearning the
\nalphabets of
\nmercy,
\nthe language of
\nemphatic empathy,
\nthe rhythm of
\nkinetic kindness.<\/p>\n

Before you try to sneak
\nyour strictures into the
\nDance of The Mystery,
\nyou should know
\nthat She\u2019s partial to
\nwaltzing with
\nOutlaws.<\/p>\n
