What brings you to feeling ‘full’ with yourself?
What needs you to ‘shine a light’ on it so you can bring it to completion?
Are you taking enough ‘alone time’ for yourself?
A friend of my mine from long ago, Helen, had a couple of thoughts that just popped into my mind this moment. “If you get there first you win.” “A busy girl’s a happy girl.” She had a couple more I can’t remember, but apparently my consciousness is grabbing on to these two for some reason. Aside from the fact that she disappeared out of my life and left a bit of an ache in my heart for that, I think of her exuberance and her crazy fun-ness with great care. The first one stirs the competitive pot of the ‘win/lose’ thing, and the other, speaks to me of exactly what it is she said.
~~~~~ ***** ~~~~~ *****
If you get there first you win
in that win/lose continuum
there is no you sorta won
or you might have won if
You win if you get there first
Then there is the other win
it doesn’t require a first
doesn’t require you to ‘get there’
where ever there is over there
You win cause you did it
It’s that journey thing
sure there’s a plan, a goal
sure you want to make completion
sure you want to be a winner
You win cause you took the journey
You made a plan, had a vision
took your life out for a spin
on that proverbial ‘road of life’
and living is what happened
cause it’s how the journey goes
If you get there first kudos to you
If you get ‘there’ or not there
and smelt the season’s winds
played with your children
loved fully and joyfully
noticed the colours of the earth
felt the rage of a storm inside and out
witnessed birth, life and death
laid around and did nothing
was busy doing everything
Didn’t get there at all and
got somewhere else…
YOu win…
