known and unknown

mjd - 2015

all is not known to us.

not at once
not without work

and that is fine.

where would the wonder reside
if everything were easy,
were obvious?

mjd - 2015

where would the desire
to become our best 
and highest 
self
come from 
if there were no obstacles 
to surmount?

mjd - 2015

how indeed 
could we relate to each other -
understand another's joy
another's pain
another's fear?

mjd - 2015

there is something infinite that connects us all
something we can touch
something we can feel
something we can apply ourselves to
for the betterment of all.

surrender

mjd - 2015 - surrender -

freedom is gained
in releasing.

life is change. 

our white-knuckled grip 
of clinging
to avoid that which is inevitable
brings great suffering.

our hands tire and ache.

mjd - 2015 - surrender

when finally we open them,
allowing our fingers to stretch,
we exhale 
and soften.

everything softens.

and in the act of surrender
we find the peace
we had been seeking
all along.
