DON’T GRASP AT THE REINS TOO TIGHTLY

 

Don’t grasp at the reins too tightly

You might want the horse

To have some voice in the matter

It’s his life too

            These narrow paths

            Unnumbered, unmarked

            Continue on

            Over one mountain

            Through a pass

            We find another

            Even more treacherous

            Injury, infirmity crop up

            Indignant we have denial

Then open ourselves

To the chance

That presents itself today

Open to the victory

That is possible

            As eyes see

            Just what they see

            No conditioning in between

            Sit beside the road

            Or in a pagoda sipping tea

            It doesn’t matter

            As long as preconceptions don’t linger

Immerse in the mental tidal pool

That which washes over us

As we sit inside our jewel

Our bodies radiating light

A spectrum of well being

As God puts it right

            We are the best we can be

            Needing nothing ultimately
