Approach

7/29/11

How we address an opportunity

is great predictor of outcome

as journey determines ultimate destination,

wherein pressure to perform admirably

can constrict naturally flowing grace

free from expectation's attached desire

that often sabotages any success

when a push, pull process

brings distorted atmosphere effecting everything,

everyone feeling an underlying dissonance

from lack of freedom, creativity,

and relaxed state that opens

ability for profound acute focus

while riding constantly changing waves,

rather settle into expansive trust

of one's capacity to adapt,

be flexible, amid insecure world

ruled by unpredictability as norm

which happens every precious moment

whenever virgin territory is entered,

being aligned with this takes

vulnerable courage to loosen grip

releasing tight control that anticipates

worst case, often attracting such,

instead sensitively steer subtle energies

with confident approach until completion.
