“Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your
peace with that and all will be well.”
― Jack Kornfield, Buddha's Little Instruction Book

“I wish it would end”
“I wish it would never end”
one way or another
I seem to have a problem with endings
I have a “white knuckle” spirituality
and hang on
like a frightened child
to everything
good and bad
in moments of pain and despair I convince my self
that this shall never pass
in moments of joy and peace
I hang on
trying (in vain)
to make the sun and moon stand still
“this cannot change, this will not change”
but this too does pass
all things come to an end
and in that moment
a beginning
beginnings cannot come
without endings
O Sacred One
help me to the completions
that I might with open hands, open heart open soul
find my way to your
new
thing
