River Deep, Mountain High

Be at your mountain top,
Let the plains be flooded with your bless-ed energy,
Let the clouds take your heavenly shape,
Be at your mountain top,
In the fullness of your creation,
In the bloom of your latency,
Be at your mountain top,
And I will be at mine,
And as you survey this wondrous scene,
Our eyes will meet and greet within,
The waters will surge in the valley of our dreams,
And we will lift our world unto a new domain,
Forever each one of us.

(Like the poem 'Closer', these words use the mountains, clouds and landscapes to create a metaphor for self actualisation at the individual and collective level. The 'wondrous scene' is the prospect of so many million mountain tops stretching into the distance, so many million self actualised individuals, each with their unique beauty and full self-expression. At the point of connection, the 'meeting of the eyes', the mutual recognition, this triggers a deep stirring in the collective unconscious. The metaphor of a rising, flooding energy hints at a shift in consciousness, a new world, a new domain. There is a feeling of pure joy at this prospect!)

  1. Reading this poem as I wait for my next coaching client to arrive it brings a warm glow to the day. Gratitude and memory of why we do what we do and maybe more importantly be what we be.
