<p>A man knocked on my door late one evening and looked at me in pity</p>
<p>&#8220;I wish you could feel,&#8221; he said, and then he walked away.</p>
<p>Sometimes he comes back, each time his eyes full of hope, but each time he smiles and walks away. He seems to be waiting for me to do something, but I can&#8217;t figure it out.</p>
<p>One day I waited in meditation and called to him with the mantra: &#8220;I am ready.&#8221; They never saw me again.</p>
<p>Just like that man, your eternal soul is waiting for you to remove the veil of shadow from the eyes of your soul. When you believe and seek awakening with 100% of your being, then the old man will take you home. He is lonely and waiting.</p>

Hold not onto your wealth, for it will soon fade away

I&#8217;ve seen enough of this world the way that it is
Man is unkind and suffering hurts, people have lost their way
There is nowhere to go here but pain, this must stop
There is no other option but change
We live in ignorance and wait for someone else
There is no someone else
We are all tied to our fates [...]]]></description>

<p>I&#8217;ve seen enough of this world the way that it is</p>
<p>Man is unkind and suffering hurts, people have lost their way</p>
<p>There is nowhere to go here but pain, this must stop</p>
<p>There is no other option but change</p>
<p>We live in ignorance and wait for someone else</p>
<p>There is no someone else</p>
<p>We are all tied to our fates and so we tie ourselves to death</p>
<p>We should tie ourselves to hope instead</p>
<p>Everyone is waiting for you</p>
<p>Your heart is waiting for you</p>
<p>God is waiting for you</p>
<p>I know you feel it&#8230;</p>
<p>Do what you feel must be done, regardless of the consequences</p>
<p>The hand of God will bless your lonesome path</p>
<p>There is no place to look but up anyway</p>
<p>Why don&#8217;t you focus on that?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who am I, really?</p>
<p>Am I a man born to till the earth?</p>
<p>Am I a king meant to rule the world?</p>
<p>Where does my path go, and why does it go that way&#8230;does it even matter?</p>
<p>Maybe I am a soul trapped in this frame, waiting to be freed.</p>
<p>Maybe I am a spirit trolling through the plains, suffering for my greed.</p>
<p>Where am I going and do I have a choice?</p>
<p>Surely there must be someone who knows where this path leads&#8230;maybe they are hiding</p>
<p>Hidden in the trees they mock me for my ignorance</p>
<p>They see me struggling and laugh at the insignificance of it all</p>
<p>He knows it doesn&#8217;t matter, the only difference between him and I is he knows it all</p>
<p>I know nothing</p>
<p>Maybe I should stop and wait for him to get bored, then he might share his secret</p>
<p>We all need to know the secret, eventually&#8230;</p>
<p>I am going to go home and leave my doors unlocked and sit in silence until he enters.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be waiting for him and he for me.</p>

and the clouds began to show
I felt the fire of those before

The search for hope is an exhausting task
Resolve is not enough
when so many others are eager to crash
It takes a little love
