And here's the poem that came from it. It's called

Meet Me Off the Map

The keys you have been looking for

are in the hands of your hidden self.

The riddle is you have to know

where to find that self and how to request the keys.

If it was that easy,

you would have already found your way in.

The locked doors and boarded up windows

and cages without hinges that can hold you tight

may litter the landscape of your everyday experience,

may clutter up the clarity of your truest voice and vision.

That's why seeking the keys of the hidden self

is essential soul work.

That is why you keep looking.

You just know there's something more, to you.

After all, you are mostly stardust, you know.

Surely that means you are meant to shine.

The adventure to discovering your hidden self

can be quite dangerous to your default settings,

and your comfort levels,

because the critic may stand and say:

Hey you, there's no way in,

and there are no keys to find,

and you, my dear, are wasting your time and your mind.

The voice of your muse may seem oddly silent

in the cacophony of mixed messages.

You may find yourself saying,

Now where did that dream run off to,

and how did I end up here again?

Is this what I came here for? What's missing?

Ah, that is a good question.

Most of us trudge on, seeking but not finding,

asking but not really knowing the way,

lost in a seemingly endless to-do list.

Making the time to have tea with the great mystery

is likely the last thing on your calendar,

unless you, like me and us,

have tea with the muse.

Will you dare to join us?

Oh, good. All right. Go right at the old oak tree.

Just pass the sparkly fairy cottages.

And don't stop there, though,

even if they promise you yummy cake.

Make a left at the corner where it says:

there be dragons.

That's right, just off the map.

At first, you might feel like you're following.

And then you might feel like you're falling.

Following and failing and falling

are all part of the journey off the map.

I will meet you there, just off the map,

and catch you up here in this space between worlds.

Many adventures to be found.
