CONCEPT VERSUS REALITY

"Earth's tribulations diminish in proportion to the elevation of our souls."
~ James Lendall Basford ~

We get an idea, a vision, in our minds about the way something will be-
About the way we think we want it to be,
And then,
It doesn't quiet turn out like that,
And we feel annoyed and resistant and try to force it to be the 
Way we envisioned it,
but we can't,
Because it has evolved out of its own kind of spontaneous 
cosmic evolution
That has nothing at all to do
with the thoughts in our mind.
And often, 
If we can just stop trying to match it to what we were thinking 
it should be,
And let it be what it is,
We will see that it is ok,
Maybe good even,
And maybe better than it would have been 
had we been able 
to force our will.

I remain open to the way things turn out.
