Rock The Boat.

If you want to obey him,
get ready for resistance from people -

Because the
Brilliance
Will expose not only the darkness in those around,
But in yourself too.

'Go.'
'Come.'
'Enter.'
'Inherit.'
'Take hold.'

What a klutz we can be
When we do these.

Some people say
'Don't rock the boat.'

But the boat that doesn't rock
Doesn't go anywhere.

There are times when
Not going anywhere is what we really want.
We think,
If we can't see what's ahead,
Isn't it better to not move at all?

There were many times,
I could not see what's ahead of me;
Nothing but a sheet of blackness.
There's seems to be a dead end,
Everything seems to be impossible.

And to turn back seems to make the most sense.

Afterall,
We humans are always more comfortable and confident
In our past.
There,
We seem to be in greater control
With what we're familiar with.
Not many like to take risks.

We will feel good,
In our tiny boats.
We feel safe,
Everything seems peaceful.

But it won't be long,
You realise the waves have carried you
To places you usually don't wish to be.

Take up the paddle.
Time to rock the boat
And head to where you want to be.

He got up and rebuked the
Wind and raging water;
Storm subsided, and all was calm.

'Where is your faith?' he asked.

Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.

By the day he directs his love;
At night his song is with me.
