Having expectations,
having desires,
having resentments,
having fears,
having anger,
having duties and responsibilities
keep us from being alive.

Being alive is
being being balanced
and in harmony
with ourselves,
our life,
and one another,
living with sincerity
and integrity,
having energy,
spirit
and vitality,
and acting in the service
of what needs to be done
in doing it
with the gifts, shtick, daemon,
interests, abilities, etc.
(that come with us from the womb
and constitute our original nature)
at the right time,
in the right way,
in each situation as it arises
all our life long--
the way emergency room personnel
meet everything that come through
their door every day.

With no expectations,
no desires,
no resentments
no fear
no anger
and serving only the duties
and responsibilities
of being who they are,
where they are,
when they are,
how they are,
in responding appropriately 
to what's what
in each situation
as it arises
all their life long.
