Uncertain Ground

How steady are you?

Can you stand firm

on the uncertain ground of life?

It's always and ever been uncertain,

but we shoved that fact

under the rug

in order to maintain our illusions.

Now the rug has been yanked

from under our feet

and there are no more illusions to comfort us.

Some adapt not too badly.

Others are frantic to regain

the sure and certain,

to re-establish the supremacy of their will.

 

But will is of little avail here.

Now is the time for us to find our sea legs.

It's time to learn to stand on the uncertain ground

as if we were born to the wild, dangerous joy

of surfing.

Balance will save us.
