2010 Poem ‘Evolution Within’ by Walter Lerchner, U.S.A. from the Book ‘Realizations’ Pages 12 to 14

The Mother gave me birth
when I was 20 years of age
She gave me life in a way
I could never have imagined

While I was waiting to be born
She took care of me in subtle ways
While I was looking for nutrition
She nurtured me without me realizing

After she gave me birth, my evolution started
Brothers and sisters acted as mirrors for my growth
The Mother held out her hand and guided many steps
Protecting me by clearing obstacles before they harm
Then slowly, she started weaning me from protection

Inner evolution happens if we keep an open mind
Inner evolution is required for growing strong

Subtle changes give us knowledge
Small mistakes, chances for corrections
Thought patterns, if correct, give joy
Thought patterns, if negative, give pain

Thoughts, though, are fleeting
They don’t survive for long

But slowly
with time and patience
patterns do start to evolve
Initiating change and growth

Steps of inner evolution, though
require times of silence

Times of silence for patterns to be tested
Times of silence for patterns to be strengthened or dissolved

Real growth by evolution
requires a flow of love throughout our being

Love is the force
which gives evolution its direction

Love is the measure
for how our evolution is progressing

Love is how the Mother guides us
towards a higher state
