Equilibrium

Feeling so Spiritual, I denied my humanness.

Being spiritual was all that mattered.

My human tendencies and faults would melt away,

leaving me happy and having good relationships.

Not so.

After several attempts to get my attention gently,

my humanness finally just bit me a big one on the ass.

Being so busy nursing the injury caused by my humanness,

I forgot all about the Spirit within me.

My Spirit subtly tried to let me know that it was there for me,

but I wasn’t listening.

Finally, my Spirit reached out, grabbed my nipples

and started twisting, until I fell to my knees and

surrendered all attempts at controlling life and other people.

So now, with two very tender places to nurse, I realize that

I must have an equilibrium.

I must listen to my Spirit, but also understand, respect and

accept my humanness and how that humanness

causes me to act in this physical life I have chosen.
