surrender
i need a guru
i need a sensei
i’m looking for someone
to show me the way
stumbling forwards
and fumbling blindly
please won’t you tell me
what i need to do?
there’s too many choices
and possible dangers
i really don’t know
which way i should go
so give me the doctrine
the one true solution
save me
from confusion
and free me from doubt
tell me what to think
tell me what to feel
tell me what to do
and i’ll worship you

Oh, but it’s brilliant;-) so scarily true…
thanks :) you just never know how people are going to interpret your work.

I really like this honest cry from a searching heart.
thanks catherine :) i’m not a religious person, nor ever will be, but i still feel this way sometimes. sometimes i feel that it would be easier to let someone else tell me what i should think, feel and do instead of trying to work these things out for myself; to let someone else make the decisions and take responsibility. intellectually though, i think that this is a very bad idea.

I hear ya Dan… I often feel this way… and would love to have the “blind faith” of some people. I read something recently… and have now come to the conclusion that we are all born perfectly whole…and have everything in our souls..and spirit to accomplish anything. Our life experiences cloud us.. and make us doubt ourselves. So perhaps the “Guru” you are searching for is known to you already..intimately within yourself. : ) Just a thought.
P.S. Love the scribble..you should try it more often! Wen xx
thanks so much wendy :) interesting thoughts. i appreciate it :)

Out of your comfort zone and into an amazing creation!
Incredible. This is a really profound piece.
It carries so much truth and meaning and depth, and yet, reamains simple and to the point.
I feel like this often. I have stretched the canvass of my mind almost to breaking point (and through choice!) tested and resisted authority, created and followed my own ideas and ideals and passions, trains of endless thought… only to find that some days I wish someone would sit me down and tell me what this is. How to be and what to think. Where to go and what to do.
It would be so much easier that way. But not.
Great write.

thank you so much :) i’m glad that you get it. as you say, it would be easier that way, but the easy route is not always the right one :)

exaggerated emotions group
thanks very much, vampvamp :) sorry for the late reply, but i’m having internet problems. i’ve added this work to the group :)

It’s always good to try something new :)
Well for a first piece it is very well done; a lovely flow and and very relevant. So many are often confused and don’t know the way. They don’t know where they should be. In the end it comes to time and experience.
Thank you :)
