what was lost

when everything is lost

everything is anew

possible

all that matters is

whether

the focus is on

what was lost

or

what has become

possible

strategy

to let wisdom

take the lead

has more to do with trust

than

with understanding

more to do with surrender

than

with strategy

more to do with insight

than

with calculation

free

no longer to feel

responsible

for everything

sets us free

to carry the responsibility

which is truly ours

with grace

negligence

when negligence

is carried

with pride

all there is left

is

decay

leaving chaos

and disharmony

to reign

when decay is accepted

as wisdom

it belongs to the mystery of

creation

creating beauty

of its own

crumbling

reminiscences of grief

while the dream

of a perfect world

is crumbling

leaving only

the eternal beauty of

the present moment
