Deflated

Kite surfers at Wadell Creek, north of Monterey Bay in the far distance.

Deflated
8/1/11

This can happen after events
long looked forward to occur,
when left alone with mundane
trappings of one's ordinary life
though miracles continue incessant march
toward creating original diverse Existence,
sometimes information received colors past
experience we previously thought successful
as work performed lacked ability
to stand test of time,
wherein relationship trust is broken
bringing exalted ego crashing down
which opens cracks for doubts
thought of as permanently vanquished
only to find out otherwise,
it's phenomenon around pendulum swing
saying 'highs' will deliver 'lows'
within paradoxical yin, yang world
always giving us the practice
of rediscovering equanimity, no matter
what surprises change circumstances that
provide more opportunities to adapt,
pick oneself up from ground,
dust off, take stock, strategize,
while committing to correct wrongs
that deflate sense of wellbeing.
