INTRICACIES

"To live remains an art which everyone must learn, and which no one can teach."
~ Havelock Ellis ~

Intricate problems require patience and flexibility.
The way through is not immediately clear.
We have to try things and learn as we try them,
And discard the approaches that don't work.
And deal with our moody frustrations as we get slowed down
and stuck.
It's a process, 
And our emotions are as engaged
As our physicality
So it's unlikely to be graceful as it goes.
But it does go, and if we can be patient,
And willing,
And flexible,
We will get there.
And then, when we get there, 
we will experience our grace.

I appreciate the puzzle-like nature of certain life situations and engage my patience to see them through.
