Coming Into Bloom

Coming Into Bloom

In seeking security

and continuity,

most of us fool ourselves

with the illusion

of familiarity.

Yet, each day

into a new world.

we all wake and rise.

Yes, it looks very similar

to the world you knew

the day before.

Gravity still tethers

your feet to the ground

and the sun still rises

from the east.

Still, if you

open your mind

to the notion

that it really is new,

each day

you'll be welcomed

by unique occurrences,

new reactions to

those occurrences,

and a unique

and fresh you.

Soon, you'll notice

that coincidences

that once

were all very

rare and transient

now tend to be

more frequent

and tend to linger

just a little longer

as each day

your awareness

further unfolds

like a flower

coming into bloom.
