Out Standing in My Field

Trying to remove expectations is like trying to unseed a field; it is damn near impossible until something crops up, though when it does I must act swiftly lest things take root. Tedious as it is weeding the fields of unreasonable expectancy saves me from so much frustration later on. I don’t recognize it, but expectations are like little dictators forever ruling me; leaving no room for G-d or direction, not to mention flexibility or change. Tap roots dive for the vein and my life depends on fleet elimination of unsuitable desire. I can want. I can strive. I can not leave expectations to grow in my garden.

STRETCHING

Stretching is not equivalent to change

Limbering is nice

And warms the muscles, body and soul.

Over-reaching, over-compensation is trauma

It distorts the symmetry

And breeds erroneous thinking.

Extension beyond the bounds sets me up for a fall

I misinterpret touching with finger tips

With a firm and able grasp.

I don’t step forward because I believe

I have a hand on things

Failing to see how this is different from an embrace.

The sinew tears

And the fabric of life is destroyed

I lean forward but I go nowhere.
