I know you are tired

“I know you're tired but come, this is the way.”

i am pushed

kicking and screaming

into the day

my body protests

my mind complains

I know this

is Life

It is the way of joy and sorrow

“there are ten thousand joys and sorrows in every life” (Kornfield, A Lamp in the Darkness p.7)

and at one time or another

I will touch all of them

and my soul knows

(it is much wiser than the rest of me)

that my one job

my

one

job

is to weave all my life

for good or ill

for joy or sorrow

into the beautiful tapestry

that is

me
