DISAPPOINTMENT

DISAPPOINTMENT
© 2009 Howard McQueen

I was to be the Host of the show
and it started to blow
as I was told folks could not show.

Reschedule and holster your fragile ego,
its way past time to do so.

Be the Silence!

Who are these children that speak and run wild
In their naïveté and exuberance?
The answer they reveal:
life is a patchwork of priorities to be navigated
not resisted: split up families, grandparents,
double duty to honor all the rest.

You are but a visiting Guest.
Enjoy whatever opportunities happen in the moment –
This more spontaneous alright-ness of all things,
encourages a dynamic relaxing in aliveness of never knowing.

Now, what was that about a fragile ego?
Let it go,
to drift below,
to the furnace of Awakening Transformation.
