THE MEASURE OF A MAN

A man walks above the forest,
over lush alpine meadows
when his instinct tells him
he's being watched.
He looks up to see a cougar
crouching on an outcropping
eyeing him.
Frightened, he freezes,
studying the movements
of this powerful predator:
would the animal pounce?
As he thought he may have
to fight for his life
he hears the cougar's thoughts
float gently through
his subconscious mind,
reassuring him:
"do not fear:
walk with understanding
and everything for you
will blend in perfect harmony;
I am only your companion!

How many times
have we not heard that same voice
of reason and understanding
call to us
from nature's heart?
How often have we heard
and heeded the voice of spirit
calling to the soul
or in ignorant fear,
ran from the voice or
destroyed its source?
