When I’ve been away for a long time,
Effective reentry paradigm?
“Reach out and connect.”
Then what I expect—
Connecting returns me to “up-time.”
When things seem too hard, and I’m bogging,
I feel I’m not moving; I’m slogging.
Notice this minute.
Just try to win it;
Hooray for each step that I’m logging
When you take in what you are viewing
You may find your thoughts have been skewing
The picture that’s true.
Now it’s time for you
To change; it’s time for renewing!
Bus shape – I have learned to scrutinize.,
Sort out from trucks with some merchandise.
Now I do not wave.
My waving I save.
Wait for a bus that I recognize!
Setting up the first ride? Chaotic!
My drama seemed rather neurotic.
Once check points were met,
And I ceased to fret,
Such fun! Almost being hypnotic.
When you need some help for proceeding,
When what turns up next is exceeding,
Just what you can do,
It is time that you,
Request what’s required for succeeding.
When you’re in your life as the Player,
Participant bold, not naysayer;
Do look out for you,
Do what you need to,
By on-ing or off-ing some layer.
The care that you take for the fitting
Of clothing in which you’ll be sitting,
May take you some time.
So, find what is fine,
Then you can keep riding, not quitting.
You do have a story worth telling,
The stories of “flops,” or excelling.
How DID you get there?
It IS worth the share.
Shared stories are very compelling.
Picture what you want from this new year.
Is there some adventure, some frontier?
Some dream to please you,
Each step is your clue.
And as you approach, it becomes clear.
What in your life sparks your gratitude?
And makes it real, not a platitude?
For me it’s a way
Of viewing the day,
With Light, a more positive attitude.
In midst of the flurry this season,
To notice there is beyond reason
Varieties vast,
And never outclassed,
By all other sights you can squeeze in.
