Part 4

Concluding Remarks

It was so easy to slide, to tumble

To find myself in the depths of despair

At the bottom of the Pit

And when I realized how far I had fallen,

How fast it had happened, how hard I had hit

I felt something new, something uncomfortable

Not the fear of falling

It was too late for that

Wasn’t that fear supposed to keep me safely from the edge?

No, the new feeling was borne from crossing a line

Beyond which there’s no turning back

And where whispers a threat of freedom

All I knew was to call upon You

Because no earthly attachment

Could quench my panic

And all I could ask for

All that really mattered anymore

Was understanding.

So gradually You guided me to listen to others

To you and you and you

Because no one person has all the answers, each has only a piece

And when you and you and you and me learn to be a We

We will create a future of peace and harmony

So in that I pray

My exploration of the components and power of understanding

Will find receptive ears

For the time we need to be that blessed We

Is now.
