<p>Perhaps it is important to realise that everything is possible, people seldom remember that!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>REFLECTION</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the ripple free depths of the well a face peers back...</p>
<p>An ancient visage dark with mystery reflects your own.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As you lean in deeper to stare at it, it mirrors back at you.</p>
<p>Yourself, true-self for the first time. Differently. You see!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A spiral connects you, a strong centrifugal force in-between.</p>
<p>You reach downwards to pull it upwards on invisible strands.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>A spiral connects you, a strong centrifugal force in-between.</p>
<p>You reach downwards to pull it upwards on invisible strands.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Like a salmon climbing a high waterfall you see it twist and turn.</p>
<p>Like a lily bud it rises from the forgotten humus and the slime.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Up and Up! You meet! And greet! What power is yours again!</p>
<p>Furtive and fertile human child! Begotten mortal? Not at all!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You see the lie for what it is. You know the truth at last!</p>
A many petaled lotus is yours now to hold in your heart....<br/>
