Every night our dreams show us how it is in our life,
As if to say, “This is how it is–what are you going to do about it?”
Every night, the same question:
“This is how it is.
What are you going to do about it?”
We grow up
By facing up to how it is with our life,
And doing what needs to be done about it.
Every night we get a mirror:
“This is how it is in your life.”
And a question:
“What are you going to do about it?”
Every day, we get another opportunity
To look in the mirror,
And work out our answer to the question.
And we have help with the work.
Our intuition is our best secret friend,
on our side from birth
to help guide our boat on its path through the sea.
We help it help us by getting out of the way
and being sensitive to the nudges and messages
we get through the day each day.
Between the two of us,
we have all it takes
to live the life that is our life to live
from birth to death,
which is something that has rarely been done
throughout the life of the species.
