Everything necessary will show up,
Always sooner and never later.
Everything you need will knock.
And you – without any awareness whatsoever –
Will answer its summons.
At first you may be startled by its appearance.
You may even try to shut the door,
But What-is-Needed will shove its foot in the crack
And –
That door will not shut.
So why not?
Why not throw open the door?
Why not lift your gaze
And smile upon your intruder?
You may not know it now, but
He or she is really you.
And it is you
Who is inviting you in
To stay a while.
So . . .
Make yourself at home.
