May 25, 2024 – A

Doing what needs to be done 
when, where and how it needs to be done,
is the work that needs us to do it
with the gifts that are encoded in our DNA--
but we don't devote ourselves to that,
and while away the hours daydreaming
of smooth and easy,
having our way
and getting what we want.

Lethargy and laziness,
fear and desire,
have their way with us,
and our life never has a chance at us.

We are our life's only hope.
We have to wake up,
realize what's what,
hand ourselves over to our life,
say, "Okay. Now what?"
and sit in the right kind of 
emptiness, stillness and silence,
waiting for the mud to settle
and the water to clear
so that the way
(Which is the way to our intrinsic intuition)
beckons and we follow
in the service of that which is ours to do,
our life to live,
throughout the time left for living,
and far into what is beyond
for as long as time lasts.
