ANOTHER PAGE TORN FROM THE MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR
Another page torn from the Magical Mystery Tour
No longer a secret hidden by youth
Life’s events disclose the tools
By which God unwraps our potential
The ability to survive despite injury
Fending off misery and disappointment
Recovering from injury and illness
Outlasting threats to body and mind
Rescued by a hopeful attitude
Without placing blame or finding fault
Allowing all 110 bits of information
Processed each second
To be available to heal
Which can be augmented
When concentration is off the self
Monitoring feelings and opinions and judgments
Perhaps immersed in a flow of time
As when fully engaged
In something you love to do
Or have trained yourself to enjoy
Perhaps just through excellence
Or the precision and concentration
Through creation of art
Beyond practice or repetition
Somewhere in the blank space
When the mind is fully occupied
And the brush floats pigment onto page
With direction or aim
And you step back eventually
And wonder “Did I just write?. . .
Did I just paint? Did I just play those notes?”
And though you know the answer
You were also somewhere else
