When

Scottish hunter from days gone by with his canine companions.

When

12/5/10

It takes courage to act

on what's true for soul,

the intuition feelings point toward

though I often pull trigger

with false bravado as protection

thinking first strike wins fights,

where if not, I'm vulnerable

to mind persuading me otherwise

or heart stops to reconsider

then I'm again in muck,

uncertain, unclear, distracted by circumstance,

with confused energy muddling forth,

I'd much rather make stand

thinking I'm defending vitality, integrity,

even if later shown mistaken,

never so, as teaching experiences

that elucidate bring valued wisdom,

understanding of my makeup, others,

when claiming what's genuine now.
