Pondering Life.

 

*****

Sometimes I become so wrapped around the axle and angsty 

because I feel no control over Life

and because I feel rushed. 

The Squirrel in my MindCage spins faster and faster 

and then I must stick my finger in the spokes and stop the whole dang thing

before I go crazy with all I must do. 

But, this morning, I woke rested and feeling good about the day going forward. 

Lately the realization came to me that I am in no damn big hurry

and that I am only one person, 

so it's best to stay in the moment and allow things to unfold as they will. 

After feeding the pack their breakfast, 

I sat in my chair and said to Mister Pencilfox, 

"Dear....." 

and he looked at me like 

Oh, my.....here it comes.....

What I said was

I am so very grateful and life has unfolded just as it should

and when I look back on my life I see how everything happened as it was meant to

and I am so grateful for that

and now I can see that if I stay out of the way

Life will continue to unfold as it should. 

Gosh. 

Sometimes I wonder why he puts up with me. 

Sometimes I wonder why about so many things. 

But mostly, right this minute, 

I'm OK with everything 

just as it is meant to be.
