Elementary

I don't like to lunge at solutions when a problem arises.
I tease and chase the solution
I feel that if I just leave it unformed
or forming and just be watchful
then there is space
for the right solution to emerge

Sometimes the right solution is dissolution
Disillusion. This solution.
This is a good kind of peeling back.
Seeing with the eyes of truth requires
Courage
And the willingness
To peel back the layers of protective
Mediocre thinking
That has made many generations
Degenerate
Into living sluggish lives.

What poisons of compromise
Did you swallow and stuff in?
How many hungry ghosts
Live in your unfulfilled gut?

Can you trust all your 'gut' feelings?
