Not in the plans we make,
or the people we meet;
not in a paycheck earned,
or a gift of flowers so sweet;
not in a test perfectly scored,
or the biggest win in our favorite sport;
not in the job,
not in the race,
not in the marriage,
not in the place
we land;
no,
the purpose
appears only when
ego’s veil
rises to reveal
the place of true surrender
deep within our hearts;
then,
and only then,
will The Purpose
pave The Way.
