Adaptability

Old planting furrows farmed by adaptable Scots before 'expulsion' during 'The Clearances'.

Adaptability

6/4/11

Alongside close cousin flexibility

these two insure survival,

also expand one's world

beyond limitations mind creates

with detailed planned results

imagining some arbitrary timetable

based on other conjectures,

plus ego projections within,

that if found false

tumbles house of cards,

taken extreme other way

doesn't supply realistic structure

for rooting dream intentions

able to 'mine' resources

whenever circumstances demand directness

through cycles of growth,

'moderation' then becomes key

paying attention subtle nuances

around quiet soul rhythms

pointing toward graceful passage

on path into Unknown,

free of expectation, assumptions

instilling blindness to opportunity,

wherein something greater waits

behind recesses of Mystery

when always openly ready

to engage enlightened adaptability.
