Following Threads

Part of my ridge top homestead in the Soquel hills, viewed from unruly garden area.

Following Threads
7/23/11

Forever things to do
around house, in workshop,
garden, and on land,
often coming across incomplete
project that patiently waits
for life giving hand
to usher next phase
into manifestation, gracefully so,
as I'm unwilling anymore
during 'mature' years to
orchestrate something without finesse,
otherwise dangerous break occurs
inside mental, emotional wellbeing
because what's been created
reflects stressful process used
which often ends badly
with results viewed negatively
through hindsight, from seeing
how perfect solution arises
when given more thought
outside any urgent need
shouting 'Get it done!',
remembering journey is destination
and beautiful life tapestry
is executed slowly, enthusiastically,
following threads of joy.
