Living Large in a Simplistic Life

Settling into the rhythm

The pulse of the pattern

The pull of the future.

Allowing awareness to guide your life.

Trusting, stepping into the momentum

Even though valuable parts of oneself linger, rebel, 

Maybe even revolt.

We must not attempt to stop the turning of the hand of time.

Suffering is the cost of being out of sync.

Bend, beg if you must, in the humility of 

Accepting the natural laws of living.

Cross over into the next level, the next stage,

The next version of your life.

Keep that which secured your soul in the suffering, that 

Which enlivened hope, passion and peace.

Make that stay

Let all else leave as it must.

Release it now.
