Growing Pains
Growing Pains
...never end
What stretches me?
Everything stretches me.
I say it again,
everything stretches me
about middle age
about growing older
about going on
about uncertainty
about marriage
about friendships
about dying
about living with death
about too much
about too little
about eating and drinking
(especially drinking)
about my lack of control
about having too much control
about winning
about losing
about forgetting
about remembering
about not being able to let go
about letting go of too much
about meaninglessness
about no creativity
about emptiness
about no limits
about no sound
about no light,
no all of those things
that make me remember
I'm alive
and at the end
there being no ending
only another beginning.
The key to growth is the introduction
of higher dimensions of consciousness
into our awareness.
~ Laozi
