I’m a string on life’s guitar
tuned with the tension to ring
Too loose and I flap
too tight and I snap…

Our garden now is filled
with many tiny sprouts
gently set amongst
the flowers we know…

Hurrying forward
with tension and fear

Beware of the thoughts that compare
Like quicksand they trick us
to sink in despair

When facing creative resistance
And freezing with thoughts of rejection
Step into the path of persistence
And out of the trap of perfection

Happy is
not just for after you win
Happy is
how to begin

Beneath
the inner stories we allow
Await
the inner glories of the now
