Standing in the Fog

So many clouds

between me and you.

So much smoke

between me and the answer

of what I’m to do.

Decisions to make.

Opinions to sort.

Actions to take.

Wanting clarity, wanting ease.

Yet, the harder I try

the heavier the fog.

And then I laugh, once again

at my attempts to “right” my way to the other side

at my unwillingness to simply stand in the fog

and let it permeate all my senses

without judgement, without an agenda.

I finally surrender

and see the illusion for what it is

and from a very different Source than before

I am able, in this moment,

to discern right action.
