Happy face
Heavy heart
Master of words
But where to start?
All the things I could say
To make you stay
But our minds have decided for us today.

We speak
But who listens?
When we are pointed in every direction
It’s hard to navigate our own voice
When our internal compass broke
Many miles ago.
We would replace it
But some of us prefer to stay lost
Living by the signs others give.

Adults find it difficult to speak their truth
We could learn from our children
Who are confident in what they know.
Though their experience is little
Their answers are primal
Driven by instinct
Not what others will think.
In this case, less could be more.

More importantly, what they know is good enough
Sometimes not having all information
Does not make us ignorant
But willing to risk.

Life has no guarantees;
Even in the things that say what they mean
There beholds the possibly
It could lie or cheat.

When we rely on one answer
Our limitations are just that number.
The logic passed down
Is we should have a plan
Beg for a challenge
Say, my plan are no plans!

Live in the present
See what unfolds
You might be surprised by what was planned all along.
