Irrevocably

Irrevocably
8/12/11

Most often we're asleep
having forgotten the magnitude
and fragility of Existence,
taking much for granted
without awe, wonder, reverence,
deeply appreciating while discovering
value of what's presented
in way of 'goodness'
surrounding health, wealth, happiness,
until Life rushes up
to impact us awake,
it could be birth,
death, someone in hospital,
pet needing special care,
or injury to oneself
that upsets applecart world
of confidence in Universe,
reminding it's quirky Nature
where 'bad' things happen
when living is great,
bringing gifts of humility,
self-care, new perspectives, curiosity,
testing soul's equanimity, strength,
ability to sensitively understand
environment of changing circumstances
inserted daily, irrevocably so.
