The day will come.

When the fear of being wrong,
Is overcome by the desire
To know what is.

When the agreement of others
Is less needed,
Than becoming resonant
With what is true.

When the words
You utter are yours.
And no longer the phrases of no one.

When that day comes,
The truthful experience
Of the phenomena of the world,
Will fill you with the certainty
You always longed for.
The answers will not be fixed,
But the means for finding them
Will be your new home.

The day will come.
