I do believe my days withing these
Concrete ashram walls are
Coming to an end.
It might be a slow ending, but
It'll be a good one.
It began the day I saw the
Beautiful truth behind the ugly
Mask of everyday insignificance.
Beauty and meaning;
Soft hand in a mild one.
Water strength.
Cement frailty.
Thoughts are like air; find their
Way from A to another
A.
Looking at my friend fitting
A door, cursing at the promise of
Adjustments,
Or enjoying the way the Project Manager
Leaves us never knowing whether
He's joking or not with a face
As cold as his project's foundations.
I fall in love with Life every day.
Even when I hate it.
I've learned that I never stop learning.
I'll be a slightly different man tomorrow,
Yet still myself.
Always still myself.
There is wisdom in flexibility; the
Holding on to nothing,
Even ones definition of oneself.
I was a construction worker.
Now, I'm a
Construction worker.
I take comfort in the fact
That the only comfort I'll
Ever really need, is the
One I give
Myself.
