Transitioning

Friends of mine riding the Big Dipper roller coaster
at the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz, California

Transitioning
9/11/09

It's what's happening these days,
the disheveled economy exacerbates
every doubt and human angst,
folks are thrown into turmoil
as things 'depended on' dissolve,
fail to have any substance left
in the way of sustaining reality
while smoke and mirror security
is seen as the thin facade
that people tried to root into,
so changes begin to happen
where most wail and gnash teeth
crying for the loss of old dreams,
foreclosures, bankruptcy, break ups,
which create a deep introspection
an opening for connection to Spirit,
that unending source of peace
we're able to find in tragedy
when turning our eye toward beauty,
this miracle of unpredictable life,
continuing to roll on unimpeded
whether we suffer or not
depending our thoughts and attitude,
ably shifted from higher perception
a consciousness of All being One
immensely diverse in it's singularity
in constant transitioning to the new.

New Offerings
4/14/09

Yesterday's experiences change us
not waking as same person
easily seen in moods, before, after
last 24 hours of existence,
yet too often we think otherwise
trying to stay course of sameness
through routines, ritual, discipline,
to keep with something that works
bringing consistent results or pleasure
and if we're thrown off, chaos,
frantically reaching to regain composure
how we were last 'put' together
but it's improbable, perhaps impossible,
when denying life's next growth step
that includes an embrace of 'what is' now,
which is more realistic than otherwise
imagining floating in bubbles of security,
there are none, everything is in flux,
however we want this ride to be
depends on the attitudes, beliefs,
opinions, images that are cultivated,
plus our willingness to flow gracefully
accepting next transformational opportunity
or do heels go in, desperate to hold on,
thinking fearfully of worst case scenario
not witnessing this friendly universe
forever making daily new offerings of beauty.
