Analysis of Arrival



         In places of color
          In spaces of black white
          With energies balanced
          With mind and heart
          Unchallenged,

By water and fire together
          By earth and air together
          The heart and mind together
          The journey willingly start
          Unchallenged,

In places of matter
          In spaces small and smaller
          Without fault or fracture
          Without a darkening of light
          Unchallenged.

The union  is joyful
          A time of celebration
          Bringing a calm
          A state of perfection.

Rest in this place
          Settle and practice in this space
          Be complete on The Way
          Be sustained through each day
          Find peace
          Know peace
          On the journey taken
          Have it all
          Unchallenged.
