The author of the poem below 'The Greeting' is James Haba - this poem is a part of his Ten Love Poems, anthologized by Robert Bly. I'm posting it here as to me it embodies the spirit of a true healer/coach/mentor/guru/leader, and these sentiments epitomize her/his inner state - ego-less, in the spirit of service.
THE GREETING
You have been travelling.
I can see it in your eyes -
The unknown roads demanding new belief.
The light of your will in submission
to the pattern bringing us together.
I have been busy waiting,
putting fresh flowers on the table,
filling the lamps with kerosene,
arranging (as well as I could)
everything, so that you might feel
that you had arrived
at the right place
at the right time.
Hello
I am so glad that you could come.
And in honor of our being here together
Let us make a scratch on the wall of the cave.
We could talk.
We could begin with idle chatter.
I'll start
I'll say, "I love you".
Humbly, touching all lives with love,
Kiki ;-)
