If I am to have a goal today at all,
what better one than
to accept the awareness I have in each moment,
trusting that it is just what the moment requires —
no more, no less.
Enlightenment itself holds to no arbitrary standard;
its awareness flows like water around time and circumstance, seeking the optimal level of exchange,
interacting creatively with all it encounters.
The awareness that nature provides
is not always what I want or think it should be,
yet it’s always what I need
to take care of what’s right in front of me.
Now, if I can just remember that tomorrow.
