Connection

Duality

It’s still pretty dark out.
The morning commuters drive by
And then there are crickets.
That’s a metaphor for life.

It can be a whirlwind of noise and activity.
And it can also be quiet, and it’s welcomed 
And okay to embody that silence.
For it’s not a permanent feature of life.

The roller coaster of ups and downs
Hard work/effort and ease.
Duality
At times, starkingly different.

The downs can be thrilling too
Like a roller coaster.
The downs create the momentum 
To push us back up.
And once again, we’re on top of the world.


Connection

Greet the Day

I awake each day and darkness greets me.
The morning commuters drive by
And then there are crickets.

I reflect on the polarities of life.
It can be a whirlwind of noise and activity.
It can also be quiet and still.
I welcome and embody the silence.

Either polarity is not a permanent feature of life.
The rollercoaster of ups and downs:
The hard work and effort,
And the gift of glorious ease.

Duality often occurs
in the same time and place.

I know the sun will rise and light will peek through the curtains
by the time my morning ritual is done.
I’m ready to greet the day
Not knowing what’s next to come.
