Not Quite Ready

Well, is anyone ever ready?

No matter what it is,

are we ever ready for it?

Perhaps that's a good thing.

Who wants to live perpetually waiting

for the next thing,

whether it is catastrophe

or an occasion of elation?

 

Oh yes. I forgot.

The instruction

we might want to follow is:

Be. Here. Now.

And that pretty much precludes

making yourself ready

for the next big hit.

 

Thus we return to "not quite ready"

with its implication of an awareness of

something to be ready for,

something coming--

and at the same time that

"not quite"

keeps us from obsessing about

what's on its way.

Let's keep it simple.

Let's just be here. Right now.
