What lies deep under the covers
Hidden underneath
my ears burst with disbelief
I get these flicks of concern
A sense of lying at every turn
I listen and sometimes the words seem unreal
Then the face reveals
A smirk and eye roll goes
Silently waiting for a better sign
My intuition tells no lies
Sensing a demise
Karma’s debt of affliction
I had a compromise
Ever knowing and learning
Whatever in the future lies
A crawling surprise
Today I realized the hardest thing is to say sorry. You must take responsibility when you are wrong or misguided. The only person who can fix things are you. Blame won’t work because in all matters, there are two parts, like the sides of a coin. It’s why I like the idea of Zing Zang.
For the most part you have to consider all sides. Try to see the other perspectives and maybe if you are lucky, things will start falling in place and life will feel more peaceful.
Life is hard. Ultimately you go on. You learn.
Alan Watts Says: “The startling truth is that our best efforts for civil rights, international peace, population control, conservation of natural resources, and assistance to the starving of the earth—urgent as they are—will destroy rather than help if made in the present spirit. For, as things stand, we have nothing to give. If our own riches and our own way of life are not enjoyed here, they will not be enjoyed anywhere else. Certainly they will supply the immediate jolt of energy and hope that methedrine, and similar drugs, give in extreme fatigue. But peace can be made only by those who are peaceful, and love can be shown only by those who love. No work of love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.”
