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
