Subtleties Of Life 11/20/2024

Within each moment
We must learn
Whether we should
Float on the river
Or swim up stream
To achieve
Our daily wins.

As we take
Action
And participate in life
As working
Cooking and cleaning
That which helps
Us
Feel
Secure
Nourished
And orderly.

But there are
Other times
We must
Watch
Listen
Or pray
In the moment.

How do we know which one to do?

Feel into
The situation
Connect with
The heart
What is it asking you to do?
And how you should
Participate?

Learning the subtleties
That life offers
Helps achieve
A deeper level
Of understanding
Making life easier
To live
Without pain
Or suffering.
