Refreshingly bracing morning swim in Lake Iisvesi after my first Finnish sauna.

'No' is as important as 'Yes',
each pointing toward direction of travel,
the former aims correction through negation
sometimes unearthing information that shifts perspective,
perhaps removing block to genuine advancement
along lines high dreams have carved
while expanding essential knowledge of Self,
often it means 'dodging a bullet'
characterized as litany of bad occurrences
because foundational base wasn't deeply anchored
in bedrock of authentic Soul pursuit
discovered as much by accident when
pruning, cleaving, clearing various surrounding territories
overgrown with attitudes, images, opinions, beliefs,
fed by family, peers, education, media,
all of society with it's philosophies,
norms, ideas about love, life, success,
where debris removal reveals survey marker
on path easy to positively affirm
without comparing, compromising, or regretting
what might have been if different,
though it wasn't, wherein acceptance enters
as celebration for one's unique sensibilities,
skills, talents, composing gift to world
that's beautifully in everyone of us
brings more clarity to multifaceted Mystery.
