Shows Itself

8/26/11

So many possibilities,

very little time

we give 'opportunities'

to unfold beautifully,

like lotus flowers

in muddy water,

bringing startling perfection

by relaxing into

trust, when chopping

wood, carrying water,

knowing patience reveals

one's true direction

sooner or later,

there's deep recognition

if not hurriedly

desperate to 'arrive'

at preconceived time,

or pushing healing

while pursuing 'teaching'

before arrow's extracted

and wound's mended,

instead hold loosely

life's changing circumstances

with alchemist hands

forever curious as

Existence shows itself.
