Cheers and thank you to Raja Williams for posting this excerpt from Happy Hour Hallelujah at the CTU Publishing site recently…
It has been said
a time or two
that the early bird
gets the worm,
so I’m up with the dawn
to dive into the dirt,
rip into the soil,
and tear apart the Earth
until I get mine.
I’ve heard it spoken
by three or thirty
that nothing is ever easy,
so I’m breathing deeply
until perfect mindfulness
completely engulfs my psyche
and I become able
to laugh at and be thankful
for every little challenge
that helps toughen my resolve
toward the enlightenment I seek.
Some people sing
about how chaos leads to order
in this experience
full of pain and pleasure,
and I couldn’t agree more,
so I raise my voice on high
with the symphony of the spheres,
praising this precious life
for all its ups and downs
as I rise and fall
in rhythm with each stage
that guides me along
toward the fate etched…
