Sphinx
Challenge
If I ask the question that provokes
will you stretch to find the answer
Will you take up the gauntlet flung boldly
and defiantly answer the call
Will you meet my challenge
with tingling in your blood
with your hair blowing electric in the wind
with all your being
knowing that every challenge
is an opportunity
every challenge
presents a gift
every challenge
is there to serve you
or not
It's your choice
The Sphinx from Greek mythology appears with
a woman's head and breasts, the wings of an eagle,
a dog's body, lion's paws, and the tail of a serpent.
a woman's head and breasts, the wings of an eagle,
a dog's body, lion's paws, and the tail of a serpent.
The Sphinx will not let you pass until
you respond to her challenge.
you respond to her challenge.
She asks, "How can you meet a challenge and
prosper in all the aspects of your being?"
prosper in all the aspects of your being?"
You can let yourself get torn down by challenge...
or you can take the challenge and
use its energy to nurture yourself.
use its energy to nurture yourself.
The Sphinx says the only way to wholeness
on your path is to
on your path is to
meet your challenges face-to-face.
