Catch Up

Brother Keith, niece Adrienne, river guide, friend Zeke, and me on Tuolumne River, Calif.

Catch Up

7/21/11

Personal priorities take precedence these days,

not work for money, radio station,

business in general that needs attention,

becoming 'secondary' when friends come visit

only to wait for 'primary' slot

after welcome distraction from duty departs

leaving me to collect myself again,

make lists, remember those over due commitments

to create questionnaire, write blog

entry as 'Program Review Committee' member,

start making calls to organize projects

while peering timeline for other events,

retrieving past, imagining future, though present

for next action that wants expression,

it's like I've traveled side tributary

of river headed toward grand destination

that my soul is purposefully riding

and physical container now lags behind,

fortunately I orchestrate the daily schedule

being own boss as self-employed builder

plus architect of the living design

which is artful story I write,

full of twists, turns, unexpected occurrences,

kachinas, disrupting loosely planned flexible trajectory,

realizing dreams ask for follow through

demanding I catch up with timing.
