    Living off-centre

    Like a wooden spinning top
    with its main mass lopsidedly near the edge,
    I have wobbled erratically,
    weaving an uncertain
    inconsistent
    and unstable course
    through life so far.

     I have lived inauthentically
    off-centre
    away from the core of my being,
    not constantly tapping into the well
    of my being.
    I have not invoked my vocational
    mystery, endowed by the Eternal One.
    At an early age an obscuring
    of the centre was made manifest.

     Now in middle age, early forties,
    I want to spin, dance truly
    from my centre,
    so I am still, yet turning
    to the Source of life within and beyond.

     - Glyn Brangwyn, quoted by Ray Simpson in Exploring Celtic
    Spirituality, 2004, p.
