Labyrinth
by Janet Shlaes
Beginning at the ending
Ending at the beginning
Each step the first step
Each step the last step
Each step the only step.

Beginning at the ending
Ending at the beginning
Attention. Distraction. Disorientation.
Where am I now?
Beginning? Ending?
Attention. Distraction. Disorientation.
Where am I now?
Near? Far?
Beginning at the ending
Ending at the beginning
Each step the only step.
Presence deepening
Mind dancing with revelations
Inner landscapes shifting, transforming.
Each step the first step
Each step the last step
Each step the only step.
Where am I now?
Beginning? Ending?
Who am I?
I am the question and the answer.
I am confusion and clarity.
I am the student and the guide.
Where am I now?
I am here now, always here now.
Present.
Perfect.
Enough.
