January 08, 2024 – A

We go meet the day
trusting that we have what we need
to find what we need
to do what needs to be done.

With emptiness, stillness and silence
as traveling companions
we have what it takes to 
keep showing up
for our date with the day.

And the day keeps showing up
for its date with us.

Until, like that we are led through our days
in the best company,
and the surest guides imaginable.

And the wonders are without bounds--
all done without striving,
or forcing our way,
just dancing with the day,
without an agenda,
or plan,
only watching and waiting,
and when the door opens,
walking through.

It is a natural way of getting things done
without doing anything,
letting the day happen
but not making it happen.

Best reserved for weekends,
vacation
and retirement, perhaps,
but always in the background of every day
looking for the right time
to be applied to the situation at hand.

In the service of balance and harmony,
rhythm and flow,
and in the presence of wonder
reminding us of what is always right there,
the way showing us the way to the way.

Always out of sight,
always right here,
right now.
