Blue sky, golden sun, calm breeze, cool temperatures,

These are the mornings people call glorious, they all seem pretty

Glorious to me.

I must stop periodically, to know myself.

It has taken me all this time to find out what I already knew.

Forgiveness is not an act, forgiveness is not a choice,

Forgiveness is a lifestyle.

To accept that life is not happening to me,

Life is happening and I get to be a part of it, somewhere off-center.

The birds too teach me, what I already knew, there is nothing to

Oppose, there is nothing to resist, there is only what’s now.

I should know what needs to change, and what needs to remain-

I should know that about myself.
