Examination

 


Am I brave enough

to put my life under a loupe,
to see and understand
all the loops.of thought -
how they hide themselves
and how they manifest,
and what they do when bathed in sudden light?

And am I willing to be calm and kind enough
to uncover hidden hurts and misconceptions,
to follow down the consequences
and put to right whatever is awry?

One thing is sure -
the way is forward -
neither looking back
nor circling in stasis
will furnish me the needed satisfaction,
and when this work is called for,
and as it is, I'll do it
in humbleness, and willingness,
and trust.
