The Divine Ground Poem by Richard Jarboe

The Divine Ground is not the same as the beaten path.
On Divine Ground being asleep is not as Unconscious.
On Divine Ground being awake is not so conscious.
Divine Ground breathes with the cosmos.
The beaten path is oblivion.

Divine Ground sprouts wisdom.
The beaten path despair.
Divine Soil forms soul.
The beaten path leads nowhere.

Forms from the formless can lead us astray.
With a great deal of darkness dimming the way.
Misguiding our belief,
The beaten path is a thief.

Climb for the higher ground.
You just might find the Divine.
You'll feel it under your feet.
Don't walk away like we did last time.
