Desert Reflection On the Water Above Sabino Dam — Image by kenne

Is life just a reflection of what is real?
I get it, but I don’t get it.

I stride the world silent to others,
yet to you I unfold like a long summer evening.

You know the tides within me,
the rise, the hush, the shifting shore.

What I withhold from the multitudes
I share freely with the one who holds my hand.

Reflection On Effort

Where am I?

Where do I want to be?

Is more effort needed?

An assessment
may create more questions,
in an upside-down world
where the normal order
is reversed.

Effort is good,
but too much is bad.
Can the key to life
be knowing how much effort
is enough?

“The more I try to stay
on top of water
the more I sink,
but when I try to sink,
I float.”

(A version of this poem was first written in December of 2006.)

Reflection II

Where am I?
Where do I want to be?
Should I assess my efforts
and cause more confusion?
Is more effort needed?

Condition assessed —
I find myself
in an upside-down world
from too my effort.

It’s the,
“. . . more you try to stay
on top of water the more you sink,
but when you try to sink, you float,”

condition.

Effort is good,
but too much is bad.
Now I know
the key to life —
knowing how much effort is enough.
