Adaptability

Old planting furrows farmed by adaptable Scots before 'expulsion' during 'The Clearances'.

Adaptability
6/4/11

Alongside close cousin flexibility
these two insure survival,
also expand one's world
beyond limitations mind creates
with detailed planned results
imagining some arbitrary timetable
based on other conjectures,
plus ego projections within,
that if found false
tumbles house of cards,
taken extreme other way
doesn't supply realistic structure
for rooting dream intentions
able to 'mine' resources
whenever circumstances demand directness
through cycles of growth,
'moderation' then becomes key
paying attention subtle nuances
around quiet soul rhythms
pointing toward graceful passage
on path into Unknown,
free of expectation, assumptions
instilling blindness to opportunity,
wherein something greater waits
behind recesses of Mystery
when always openly ready
to engage enlightened adaptability.
