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.
