Our Best (26a)
OUR BEST
We struggle
Gamely, unobserved
Not often
Successful
Still there’s always tomorrow
Until there isn’t
~~~~~~~~~~~
Bien Sûr
BIEN SÛR
Here’s to tomorrow
Recalling bien sûr
That the sole change
We are capable of
Is the seed we plant
In this current moment
Reconditioning
RECONDITIONING
bliss
bubbling
below the surface
what was happening
conditioned to fear these feelings
deny their existence
pretend
let us experience life
not knowing
what comes next
because
in darker episodes
is so much healing
shadow simply the other side
experience contains its opposite
the seed of the shadow
meet it with love
the way we think
we practice a shape
we are not ready to express
a deity with immense power
we find bliss
if we simply continue
experiencing the sensations
the lessons

Every moment
Can be another lesson
About to begin
But first comes registration
Your voice, loud and clear: “Present!”
