When they were growing up
Five of them
I was in total control
Right?
Planning play dates
Sports schedules
Family Fun
Future-minded
Younger and energized
Ego sporting
the t-shirt reading
On a Mission
It is no wonder
Those years flew by
Present-bodied
But not really present
What did I miss
What everyone else misses
The here and now
Becomes the there and then
Now with more time
The youngest in the nest
Before he flies too
Ready or not
I pursue the things
I dream of
Writing Coaching
All things spiritual
And I’ve learned about
False Self
Being Present
Acceptance
and Surrender
the hardest one for me
Living in the Mystery
without control
But the one with
guaranteed happiness
or guaranteed peace
I like to call it
When we release the grip
And only focus
on what we can control
our actions and reactions
You leave the rest
Up to Source
Turning it over to the Universe
God Love Energy
The suffering ends
the anxiety and worries
are left behind
Only peace remains
And you live in the Mystery
the way life was intended
so you can
be fully present
For what really matters
Life
Right here
Right now
Curating creations
my writing
my painting
my relationships
So I can
hold space
for a client a friend
my husband my children
Now I can simply
be with him
before he flies
watching life unfold
In peace in the Mystery
