Everything is coming or going,
and our place
is to let come what's coming,
and to let go what's going,
in a "This is now, so let it be,"
kind of way.
It's called, "Going with the flow."
That's "the flow of life and being."
Like "The tide comes in
and the tide goes out," about every
twelve hours on most days.
Understanding how things are
and accommodating ourselves to them,
is a big part of growing up,
and one reason we will never be able
to prop up our feet,
light a cigar,
and declare ourselves to be Grown Up.
Grown Up is not a steady state of being,
any more than being Enlightened is.
Being dead is the only steady state of being,
and there is even some misgiving about that,
given that "dead" is but a transition
between different types of energy fields,
and we hop out of one way of being
into another, "like that" (Snaps fingers).
Of course that is hypothetical,
but so have been heaven and hell all these years.
