Pragmatism

4/23/10

This is creed when working,

doing carpentry and being creative,

it's a common sense philosophy

which leads towards what's true

for me in given moment

revealing my clear imbedded wisdom

that resonates with Soul direction,

some kind of fluid grace

bringing ease, flow, as indicator

saying I'm on right path,

there's patience and timing involved,

willingness not to be brash,

bold, until all signs point

toward right action, and timing,

so it is with living

after years of stumbling onward

half lit, half cocked, unsure,

but pretending otherwise to peers

who often influenced my decisions,

or society, family, religion, education,

effecting with their slanted perception,

I've come to inherent knowing

of what clicks with me

noticing when something doesn't completely

then coming back to authenticity

my essential relationship with Self

married to pragmatism of Existence.
