Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles and
the water is clear?”
Lao
Tzu, Tao Te Ching
________________________________________
it does not matter how clear the day
or how sharply the mountain pierces the sky
another day will break
where fog and mist obscure
and little can be seen
but the dim shapes of the firs
standing watch in the gloom
I have moments when I dare to believe
I have a clue
about what has happened,
what is happening
what will happen
but I am soon disavowed of that
imprudent notion
and the clear pool of knowledge
is muddied
and I am left
without clarity
the past in disarray
and the future ambiguous
there is nothing left to do
except go with the moment
live it fully
one moment at a time
and wait patiently
until the water
clears
and I can see again
for a moment
