Meditation

On those days

On those days
where everything is lost
where no bird comes to the window
where I am not sitting on a volcano
where the wind is not with me,

Your way will be clear

Let things happen naturally
and you’ll avoid disaster.

Give your life the time it needs
and you’ll always have enough time.

Don’t push

Just carry on.
Don’t push ahead.

Just do the work.
Don’t make an effort.

It’s easy to start work on something difficult.
You can do great things in very small steps.

Generations

You may wish for a river
To pour down your spine
And wash away the growling
Dependency of desperate days.

You may wish for an ocean
To rise and overwhelm
The hyperactive strategies
Of agility and agency.
