📉📈 LIFE IS NON LINEAR 📉📈 Zigzag the river of time meandered , Flowing through mountain , plateau and dale , Life is not linear she had come to realize, More of a rambling circuitous tale Growth is not linear , but a varied mix Of flower , succulent and germinating bud , In soil that can be loamy , laterite , clay , Or the strange lotus that blooms in mud. A forward investment among indexes , The volatile risk of the S&P 500 , Life’s trend is not linear , beggars become kings , Or in reverse – judgement has blundered Success is not linear , knows the diamond in the rough It concedes to gentle pressure by and by Brillianteering of life can be exacting , As we are shaped by the wise lapidary in the sky. The road can be meaningful if lessons allow , By letting go of the non-serving past , Life is not linear , yet a blessing sublime , Developing a personal Venn and experience amassed. Love cannot be linear , heart and soul emphasize , Erratic vitals keep us awake and alive , A monotonal ECG reflects death and the end , Sans change and upheavals, how could we thrive ? Dilute your demons with compassion & good , Life and living become a whole lot easier , Trauma is tricked into transformation , When you embrace a life that is non-linear 🌄🌋🌄📈📉📈📉🌋🌄🌋

 I let you go my children , To fly away , to be your own , To erect respectful boundaries , Now that you have grown . I let go of any remorse and guilt , A few regrets in your upbringing , If I knew then what I know now , With confidence I might be singing I let go of fragile eggshells Whose ownership is mine alone , I tread on them before you came along , On you I cannot cast first stone My intentions were true and highest , Cheerful balanced children my goal , True leaders , good human examples , As you walked away from my fold. I would be delighted to rediscover , Whether our bond can now be earned , If curiosity replace past certainties , A new relationship can be learned My willingness and love are unwavering , My deep faith in you stands firmly , Eager to choose and begin anew this Parent child relationship asymmetry  I release these delicate eggshells , My own symbols of hyper sensitivity, I stop trying to over correct , My needless attempts at proactivity Unbiased awareness eluded me , Hurting you was never meant Merging the past with the present , A victim never entirely innocent These eggshells lived within me Well before you were born , Remnants of my childhood correctness, Strict regimen and days forlorn . I own them now these egg shells , On no one do I cast any blame , No parent , no child , no trauma No circumstance against my name These eggshells represent my own polarity , Forward thinking on its head , But do I really envision correctly ? Or dip into old biases instead ? I am ready to set aside these egg shells , Replace them with fresh confidence , Enquire ? Ask outright ? Listen in ? Cease sitting on that proverbial fence I am so done walking on egg shells Of second guessing and living in fear , With good intention I shall speak , Of things I hold most dear. And wait for that calm understanding , My own part I can surely do , No longer egg shells will hold me back , Only my boundary of love and your point of view.  I welcome the wisdom of adversity , The arduous climb when things get tough Brillianteering a diamond until it gleams, Once dull and in the rough. I welcome the teachings of trials The opportunity to resilient become , The fire by which steel is tempered , Life going full circle , and then some. We are forever altered when Adversity dips into our emotional reservoir , We cannot un-process or un-see , We cannot erase the imprint and battle scar . A linear life may seem tempting, As impossible as it may be. Adversity staves off human arrogance , Making us approachable in our humility. And so I embrace the lessons of adversity , Often the best , a blessing in disguise , Keeps me innovative , strong and seeking , Keep me learning , compassionate and wise .  |
