Totally Free And Clear
(Or, "Being Completely Responsible")
I saw myself as the child,
but finally concluded that—
in reality—I was the parent.
I saw myself as the student,
then finally understood that—
undoubtedly—I was the teacher.
I saw myself as the apprentice,
only to finally comprehend that—
in all actuality—I was the master.
For, I saw myself as being totally
free and clear—and I finally realized
that means being completely responsible.

My Spiritual Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "I saw myself as being totally free and clear—and I finally realized that means being completely responsible."
And this poem was also published on my "Small All White in the Forest" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Small All White in the Forest" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."
This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
