No more turning away

Decades ago, I entered the "spiritual path" hoping that it will help me get out of the fucked up life I have created for myself.

Little did I know that the same things I wanted to get out of will have proven to be my path to freedom... so I spent years investing into turning away from the coldness inside...
...until it just couldn't be ignored anymore.

It was a long process to be sure, but the gist of it is that I finally stopped running away and searching on the outside (in relationships, money, meditation stuff, spiritualism, occult, etc.) and dedicated my life energy to embracing my inner disharmony.

And Tantra or LHP contributed a lot in the process.


Here's for all of the turning away:


On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand

Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its shroud
Over all we have known

Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord

Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside

Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?
