Loving Energy - I Shall Be Its Truant Messenger Poem by Louise Tredoux

A spiritual solution for all problems, Wayne Dyer
claims, all discomfort reflects negative thoughs,
defining the allergy as a sign of bad mental health,
I’m supposed to think myself well, if not, I’m doing
something wrong, I try to create a new mental life,
yet a spiritual solution has not manifested yet

I carry on holding a vision of a perfect life bringing
the message to all men and women that we only
experience people and life in our mind, knowing
we are not the objects of experience, we are the
silent observer within the experience itself; this
knowing is supposed to set us free – but I sigh

Although the Bhagavad-Gita says the illumed soul
always knows it is doing nothing, this divine sense
of nothingness has never brought me joy – I still
want to do something, strive to define a goal that
would make life worth living; then I remember an
irate remark regarding Wayne Dyer’s lack of art

And my bad rendition of it, I start to laugh, my
highest goal has always been and will always be
to bring joy everywhere, to point out the sun to
everyone, even Sir Suurklont; my favourite song
will always be: “Jesus roep my vir ‘n sonstraal
om elke dag te skyn” - even though I’ve been

Admonished by a religious teacher to find another
song more befitting my high old age, so I sang
“Nothing is so good it cannot get better still,
perfect situations can still improve...”- she was
not impressed, informing me that perfection was
the ultimate end – but I shall always insist upon

Infinity, which means there is no end, no external
God waiting with finallity for us to catch up; God
is ubiquitous in loving energy; and I shall be its
truant messenger in this earthly life I received so
undeservedly as Sartre explained caught up in
his left-brain existential pain....
