From a distant land,
I journey.
With hope, ambition, and passion,
I carry
all of them,
in my longing mind and hand.
I journey.
Not for prizes or for glory.
But for serving
a human needing, and minds sick and weary
from illness.
For all of us as one,
for the distressed mind and body
have devoted a lifelong quest.
And we all are the same and one,
in serving, in learning, in living,
and a story.
All our past ones,
yours, mine, and everyone’s,
those who sought for people’s truth,
health and wellness,
all in the ether,
hand in hand, soul in soul,
for us who follow
had struggled,
strived,
searched and journeyed.
