Relax

7/15/11

Here's a key to high performance

that's difficult accessing when feeling urgency,

or need, caught up in desire

for some accomplishment ego deems important,

a reflection of it's ultimate worth

seen from observer's eye as great,

it involves keeping things in perspective

where all activities have own relevance

which pale when compared to death,

yet fear of this inevitable transition

becomes a hindrance for living fully,

not wanting it to come prematurely

we don't risk our precious significance,

instead cower from anything that resembles

a dying, like failure when striving

to expand into Unknown developmental realms

while learning one step at time

retrieving knowledge and wisdom about 'Self',

finding there's life on other side

of 'poor showing', to be compassionate

when remembering lifelong journey we've traveled,

all those events judged as catastrophic,

unsalvageable, bringing disgrace that appeared unforgivable,

only to realize a strengthening occurred

instilling confident ease toward future adventures,

able to effortlessly relax into Mystery.
