Poem №041
There are certain lessons
you can only learn through living
It was never about perfection
or getting it right
Your job
is to show up
to the practice
and bear witness
to what arises
on the path into
the great unknown
The challenge
is to meet yourself
with curiosity
questioning
what you thought you knew
All along the way
you’ll have to choose
the next right step
on a nonlinear
spiraling path
And each time you face
a lesson you thought
you’d already learned
You’ll be invited
to surrender
to the journey
and find compassion
for your process
Remember this
courageous one:
You don’t walk
the path alone
There’s infinite expansion
in the practice
And perfection
was always
a dead-end road
