Lesson 5 - Count on Miracles

“Let go of what you do not need,” he said.

“And go to the place you feel.

I have take my shoes off on one side of the bridge

Because they were falling off my feet,

Walked across the bridge

And found another pair waiting for me.

I have felt like going beneath a bridge

To find a woman there, drunk,

And delivering a baby.

Several times, I have gone to a place, not knowing why

To discover a person dying. I told them it was time to go

And they were gone within the hour.

It has happened enough times 

That I have begun to think of myself 

As a kind of angel of death.

Trust the voice that leads you from within

And you will be provided for,

You will be used

By the unseen hand.
