Preparation

7/16/09

Part of the equation

in every aspect of life

are the preliminary steps taken,

often we don't know

how events cultivate experiences

that teach of our resilience

showing what we're made of,

where later down the road

incorporating all we've learned

we see the hidden reasons

for all that's transpired

and the perfection of such,

but it takes a mindset

seeing each moment as a gift

toward evolution of consciousness

so an energized 'presence'

can welcome every worldly effect

as an ally coming home,

raptly listening with compassion

the stories of our humanness,

pouring out the diverse conditions

detailed in history books

trials of present day dramas,

even visions of future deeds,

where there is no separation

nothing can be turned away

it's all preparation for success.
