The Journey

When hence I have finsihed

I will be ready to start;

so much I have learned

along the way.

Yet it is this trudging around,

trying this, letting it go,

and then picking up that,

that is in each moment

an act of fulfillment:

an intuition to try this;

the courage to let go of that;

and the sparkling insight when

the rare jewel called understanding

completes each thunderous step.

In this way nothing can be said

to be completed nor lost;

every loss is a gainm

and every treasure is shared.

However for those lost in the chase

every win is a defeat,

and every loss is a tragedy;

though in time we learn.

Do not be troubled by your drive,

for it is in the very intensity

that you accidentally arrive

in the here and now,

and get it - play hard.
