Unspoken Ritual of a Shepherd

When May started this year, my soul submerged into the joy of spring and the warmth of summer.

This year May was not the same ... this time it brought my path to a new route.

I decided not to fight the change, I even allowed it... followed the path...

Walked for hours and days, did not see anything new... I looked around and smiled arrogantly then said "So... what's new?"

A young shepherd appeared and told me.. "I am new in your path"...
"But you have been here all time... what's new?"

The shepherd looked at me like he never did before, then he said...
"Am your shepherd...
Your shepherd who will be around you...
Walk in front of you...
Watch over you when your heart can't see..."

I looked at him ... asked him...
"Will you walk with me?
will you be in this path... I thought you are a shepherd"

He put his arm around my shoulder and whispered in my ear...
"I need your help... let me be your shepherd...
I have offered others to be their shepherd...
all the sudden they stopped walking....
and every evening they thank me for their path...
telling me 'we did thy will'..."

"I am your shepherd... I am here to walk your path...
the path you dreamed of... the path you built...
you built it with your prayers... when you cried...
when you asked... those candles you lit...
your silence... your screams... your hope...
All these are your path... and am here to walk it with you...
I can not offer you a path... I love you so... I am you...

I offer you a message...
'Turn thy sight unto thyself, that thou mayest find Me standing within thee,
mighty powerful and self - subsisting'

Unite with me and let's follow your path"
