Editing Reality

Normally, that’s what we do.

We want reality to be what suits us,

not wanting to accept the way it is.

We go along as long as things seem ok.

When a monkey wrench comes along,

we do a little dance; rationalizing, 

making excuses, try to come up with a plan.

Just look at what’s happening to the Democrats.

For example, death is real, but we ignore it

as long as we can. 

They say there are five stages leading to 

acceptance of death. 

How many stages to acceptance of life?

Some are able to grok life, so death comes

as no surprise.

Even if you get where you think you want

to go, there’s always something else.

A gaining idea poisons the perspective.

Those that have simplified, clarified life

have found the treasure of existence.

It’s never too late to start, until it is.
