So much has happened-
these past few months.

A new moon brought
rapid change and
turbulent weather.

Were I a younger man,
less experienced
and with
less direction
I would be

totally scared shitless.

Instead,
I realize…

Problems are just opportunities.

And,
everything changes
always
and ever.

Perhaps I am
just fatalistic…
But, now I know:
Everything will be alright.
Because,
it exists as it does
and that’s it.

No need to cry over spilled milk.

I didn’t always feel this way.
I thought I’d rebel forever.
But then one day,
I got the mail
and opened
an invitation to let go.

And I did.
And it’s wonderful.

So much has happened
and is happening.

I am finally
a leaf in the stream
instead of a rock.

Oh,
to be free
and just a little
scared shitless
but happy
and in control
of my own
Destiny.
