Let Go To Transmute

Let Go To Transmute

🚘

Dog’s ears,

Out the left window of

The back-seat,

Flapping in the warm breeze of

A summer’s day

(In the car in front of me).

Happily, its tongue wagging

Back and forth and then even

Changing windows -

Now I’m gonna be joyful sticking

My head outside of

THIS window!

(I imagine them thinking).

Not a care in the world.

Hmmm..

Earlier in a message, I sat in the car and said,

“I forgive you.. but I don’t want to be your best-friend”,

The fingers typed ‘forgive’ into the message even though

I had no initial intention of doing so -

Something was giving those thumbs a little

Mysterious nudge in the right direction,

“I’m sorry too”, I also said, yet that doesn’t mean

I won’t forget, I thought.

Moments later waves of energy flowed through me,

Lighter, less forceful ones -

Leading to calming ripples.

I felt much less burdened and more in control than I had in weeks.

*

So is that all there is to presence?

A letting go?

Sometimes the way is paved with concrete,

Or it feels as thick as mud,

Finding one’s way out is seemingly next to impossible, yet

A slight shift,

A small change in perspective.

Let go to transmute

Let go to transmute

Let it out,

That stuck energy is killing us.

Let it out NOW.

I drove off/ wound down the windows,

Felt the warm breeze brush my forearms,

Far less caring of a response, as I’d said my piece,

And then there was the dog.
