Guest Poet-Kuan Tikkun
I am pleased to be able to host gifted poets on this site. The poem, “Heaven’s Now” by Kuan Tikkun is a delightful journey to reassurance.
Heaven’s Now
by
Kuan Tikkun
Slow and steady wins the race
Your inner tortoise sets the pace
Live as if you’ve won your goal:
Life as a free enlightened loving soul.
Carrying your home upon your back
Keeps personal boundaries intact.
Let no one detract from your intent
Unless allowed with your consent.
This tortoise slow and steady race
Is to a state beyond a place
Beyond a finish line or end,
Beyond a road or highway bend.
To live with knowing gratitude
For your Hidden Resource is an attitude
That maintains a link to an inside state:
Welcoming the gift of Infinity’s Grace.
To have the finished end within
To make learning from struggle the way to win
Then tortoise dance a victory lap
Heaven’s now has no time gap.
Slow and steady wins the race
Patient habits set the pace
To stay focused with thoughtful care
Brings a wealth of peace into your lair.
Let tortoise view see you through
Plod with care in all you do
Others may race with a faster gait
Heaven’s now says “You’re never late”.
