I Reach For Calm

Some mornings I reach for calm and calm eludes me.  I don't know why. It's almost as if I wake up choosing to dance to rhythm of the beat of the world or the beat of my heart.  I think that when I was much younger, I had that energy to dance to both. It appears now that I'm older and beginning to realize that my time here on earth is going to start winding down at some point,  I don't have the energy to dance to both, so I have to choose.  I have danced mostly to the worlds music, which begins to become monotonous at best and plain tedious and boring at worse.  I want to do something other that what I have been doing.  Change course, outlook and just plain old enjoy life...I think that that God put us here for.

The thing about it is that you have more naysayers coming at you when you decide to forge your own path...How you gonna do that? You have to work and pay the bills? Must be nice....Are you rich?
That last one I can answer.  Heck, yeah  am.  We all are.  We just spend so much time trying to achieve goals conceived and rubber stamped by society that most of us don't count or value the riches that we have right there in front of us. 
Heck yeah...I'm rich in love, ideas and creativity.  The world is a big wonderous play ground  and I've been dying to get out there on the jungle gym like I did years ago.  Hoist my knees up over the bars and hang myself upside down so that I can see the world from a different view hang my hands down over my head and continue to reach for calm.

How I'm going to do it.  I don't know.  I just know that I am
