I tread strange territories

taking my intuitive compass

of subtle feelings that gently guide.

Familiar comforts are but memories-

beliefs and meanings left behind.

Some terrain is treacherous-

deceiving shadows where dangers hide

in ways that disempower, blind and bind.

Some terrain is heavenly-

deeper truths, higher wisdoms, love applied,

a joyful journey of my heart and mind.
