Paradoxically

12/7/10

Intuition runs counter mind's intellect,

often what makes sound reasoning

doesn't manifest in desired results,

overwhelmed by business ... work harder,

faster, continually without taking break,

where actually slowing, contemplating course,

alleviates mistakes, dissolves imagined urgency,

finds graceful path with balance,

a turtle and hare tale,

instead of pressing for answers

being made miserable by indecision,

step back, doing something else

allows for solution to enter,

and within intimate relationship struggles

when one, both, aren't satisfied

it's time to please self,

revisit own individually important pursuits

mysteriously expanding ability for more

appreciation, clarity, love, experiencing values,

paradoxically bringing a couple closer.
