People who always know what to do
in any/every situation,
are screwing things up for everybody.

The right action appears out of nowhere,
at just the right time
as a reminder of the Mystery
at work throughout the cosmos.

We cannot calculate our way through mystery.

The Way is not subject to reason,
logic,
analytics,
recipes,
and rules to live by.

Right action is made up
in the heat of the moment
as a spontaneous response
to the situation as it arises.

We do not think it up.
We recognize its validity
in the aftermath of having done it.

We find ourselves saying what needs to be said,
doing what needs to be done,
being who we need to be,
at one with what is happening,
as a dancer dancing with the music,
as a fiddle player jammin'
with the guitar and the banjo
and the mandolin,
wondering when it's over
where it came from,
and looking forward to its  
regular return.
