The Cosmos is waiting things out
as time goes by.
It's as good as it gets
for a survival strategy
moment by moment, day by day.

The Buddha called it
"Peaceful abiding, here, now."

Lao Tzu said, "Do your work and step back,
let nature take its course."

No striving.
No pushing.
No going to war.
Just waiting things out
as time goes by.

See what is called for
and do what needs to be done about it.
With the gifts at your disposal,
that you are here to serve and to share.

Living out of emptiness, stillness, silence,
sizing things up and rising to do
what is called for,
then dropping back into the silence,
to see, rise and do.

Moment by moment, day by day.

No striving.
No pushing.
No going to war.
Just waiting things out
as time goes by.
