Death and the White Buffalo

Quantum Source ... Quantum World ... Quantum Void ... Quantum You!
Five times he had tried to cross through the Great Passageway of Death
Each attempt failed to carry him to the Mysteries which called him forth
On every ride through the Wilderness of veils and shadows
Jonah’s Belly convulsed and heaved him back
into the briars and brambles of everyday living
Why had he come this far
with past legacies scattered throughout the hills and valleys of his youth
only to find another mountain to climb
and an impending peak in the distance to mount
He was tired and exhausted by now
of constantly pushing forward to maintain his place
in this world of bows and ribbons.
This stature that he had built among his friends
seemed now so nebulous
Achieving the highest marks through rigorous activities of human endeavor
the hollow sounding medals on his chest felt like false gods
mocking him for his relentless pursuit of glory and happiness
Five times he had purposely placed himself in harm’s way
Yet miracles of unseen origins would rescue him
sending him back to dismantle this illusory ego
of pride and accomplishments
Finally he decided to just sit
and wait for Death to come to him
Hours passed into days and days into weeks
and weeks into months
Then one bright, sunny morning
as he gazed across the horizon
something began to take shape
that appeared to be a White Buffalo
It sauntered ever closer
and the energetic power and consciousness of this mysterious being
brought immediate clarity to his mind and heart
As the telepathic whisperings began to flow between them
Why do you seek Death as your escape from living
asked the White Buffalo
Do you by now not know that Death will find you
at the most auspicious and perfect moment
transporting you across with effortless abandon.
At that “Moment of Agreement” when you chose to come here
your destiny and legacy were hermetically sealed
until that “Moment of Completion” would come
to carry you back Home
It will be the most glorious day when that time arrives
Until then get back up allowing your Heart to be open
and free of any and all expectations
Walk the path of Charity and Service
never giving any thought to achieving personal gain
Be in the JOY and CELEBRATION of LIFE
never looking backwards or forward
You will then discover that Death has disappeared
and devoured Itself into the Quantum Void of Nothingness
It will be then that the Eternal Power of your “Miraculous Self”
becomes the White Buffalo and brings you HOME once again
