Why are some things easy and some things hard?
Is it our expectations?
Is it our set of mind?
Is it our fears of what we cannot control?
When something is hard to do, sometimes it is the universe saying to us, "Don't go this way."
Sometimes, it is the universe saying, "Don't give up. The view is worth the climb."
In figuring out which one, we have to choose not only to listen but also to hear.
Comfort Zone
ReplyDeleteWhen a mattress is too soft.
The body sinks, smothered
By both sides of the feathers.
The spine is wrenched
Out of its coccyx, and the sleeper
Arises contorted and confused.
Saints slept on marble floors
And shamen on horse blankets,
The better to awake upright and straight.
When everything is made available
At the flip of a switch, or the snap
Of fingers, then all mystery dies.
Life without mystery
Misleads everybody into believing
Only what is here and now really matters,
And that we can control whatever happens.

Amen, brother.
You should write that down.
