The Unexpected
8/11/09

It is the way of the world
all of existence brings surprise,
the never known before wonder
in everlasting moment of 'now',
nothing ever stays the same 
within constant flux of miracle
and we are here to witness,
explore, and express it's diverseness
through one of a kind 'I AM'
entertained by unique, peculiar reality
even as we share common ground,
are interwoven with fellow sojourners,
overlapping, intersecting, dovetailing
large and small life interactions,
more so when entering heart space
intermingling love's perfumed essence
as family, friends, or intimates in Nature,
when symbiotic synthesis occurs inside
where one loses and finds self
while also absorbed deeper still
into the mystery of all Creation,
left helpless, and paradoxically empowered,
to play in the medium of the Infinite
knowing even the Sun will die
which disintegrates ego's self importance
becoming ashes for the phoenix
who rises above the unexpected truth.
