The point is not
to have what we want
and live happily ever after.

What does wanting and happy know?

The point is to be who we are
within the terms and conditions,
context and circumstances,
time and place
of our lives.

To be true to ourselves
in each here/now of our living.

To work out the contradictions
and conflicts.

To do what needs to be done,
anyway,
nevertheless,
even so.

To not care what our chances are.

To follow the white rabbit.

To not know what we are doing.

To do right by ourselves,
and our responsibilities,
and our obligations
and duties.

Nothing to it
but to do it.

"Get in there and do your thing!
And let the outcomes be the outcomes!"
