Beyond Wishes for Alchemy or Sustained Harmony

Beyond Wishes for Alchemy or Sustained Harmony

Do not despair about your situation
nor expect alchemy from others…
Instead, transmute your wish for clarity or cure
to experimenting without diluting your true self.

Harmony and easy answers are evanescent
Often converting to same ol, same ol…
Especially when relying on well-meaning advisors
who reflect their experience, assumptions, anxieties and needs.

If your own impressions, imprints and images echo
what’s expected from your past experience
Then, beware self-fulfilling behaviors and
avoid what’s just available or merely comfortable.

You’ll be more likely to find gold in the essence
Of your hopes, dreams and fears.
Unfinished business also contains hints
for future choices and action.

As you move into the possibly appealing unknown…
Build pilings to support bridges
To a future that fits you better
and offers fresh purposes.

You have the power to anticipate problems and dangers,
To open doors to better situations.
When you have curiosity, create collaborations
and integrate what’s important to you.
