Oh, that daunting climb!
Can we go the distance, dear?
I will match your pace.

I hope I am as I seem to be.
I try to seem as I am.
And if you need something more from me,
I'll surely do what I can.

Mindfulness is
gaze full of reverence,
attention full of interest,
touch full of feeling,
embrace full of care,
and passion full of truth.

Non-attachment is
hope free of expectation,
acceptance free of judgement,
trust free of fear,
intimacy free of dependence,
and commitment free of ownership.

I know they say,
when you know, you know,
and I know what they mean.

You can't know what will be,
but you know what you need.
You have the dream, and you know the way,
and if you make it, you'll look back and say,

I just knew.

You remember feeling this way before
---but that wasn't the same,
or someone was to blame,
or the stars aligned against you.

Hope comes down like an avalanche,
and then you get another chance
to prove your foolish heart right
and sleep soundly at night.
