Waterway descending Ben Mor, Isle of Mull, Scotland


Chaos
4/20/09

Such an unbelievable existence
yet it can't be denied,
we're here in it, experiencing
through each outrageous sense
funneled into workings of the brain
and when fully grasped within
there can be awe and wonder
or a sense of devastating overwhelm
where it seems fruitless to try
making or retaining order anywhere
but if we succeed doing so
in the many territories of life
then comes status quo maintenance,
let alone improving our lot,
as Creation continues the march
of changing constantly, irrevocably, 
testing ones' ability to flow,
be at peace on ever moving waterway,
while influencing directional course
with our actions and thoughts
even at times when rapids appear,
big, bone jarring, twisty drops
which evoke fear for survival,
forgetting any idea of controlling
the fomenting external environment
left with only your personal power
to stay centered, calm, balanced, in the chaos.
