Small Joys

About to engage a 'small joy' on Southwest motorcycle trip.

Small Joys
10/26/11

I want to make a list
of these, and large ones also,
kept on refrigerator with a magnet
for reminder when feeling off, not
optimal, potent, and virile, more depressed
from some run of negative thinking,
forgetting birthright as unique miraculous being
'no less than moon and stars',
which happens while focused on 'lack',
as result of eccentric, rebellious nature,
my critical judgement mind that rules
in reaction mode whenever I'm disgusted
with 'self', seen from Life mirroring
the 'shadow commitments' creating my reality,
thereby making appreciation of blessings difficult
because comparisons point out hidden expectations
about where, what, I 'should' be
by this age, with accordant wisdom
around all daily human aspects, concerns,
luckily strong ancestral blood courses through
veins as Scottish, Irish, Romanian Jew,
persevering spirit 'with no give up',
or 'in', for long, to melancholy,
instead eventually celebrating gifts it brings
disguised as troubles, later to find
small joys magnified after pendulum swing.
