Radiant moments,

fleeting though they are, sustain

as night approaches.

This must be the nine millionth time

I’ve forgotten to

pause,

breathe,

listen compassionately

to my lower self,

but let my higher self speak

~

I’m putting in an urgent request

to my higher self

to help the me of middle self

remember.

With a deadline

fast approaching

and nothing much to say,

I’ll just bow my head –

Namaste

 Not that I was ever

well put together, but

now it seems I came unglued

real fast – at least

that’s the story

my grandkids spin

as they ponder why

I fell apart so fast

when confined to

a few small rooms

with a drippy head cold 

and three angst filled

teenage girls.

When the body calls time out

 and we’re sidelined for a while, we have

a chance to review

the game we’ve been playing

and change either the game or our tactics.
