sometimes
it all depends
on that fraction of time when
we remember to stop
long enough for our soul
to catch up

sometimes
everything hinges
on that moment in time when
we are asked to yield
the floor because
through that necessary pause
we come to recognize the gift
embedded in being moved aside
long enough so that our soul
can glimpse another way

sometimes
as life teeters on the edge
of that point in time when
we are so tangled in a web
of our own making that
there seems to be no way out
grabbing hold
requires finding the still point
where our soul can
intuit its way through
the whole messy maze

sometimes
as we thrash around
in the deep waters of
our bizarre busyness
we finally realize that
only by surrendering
into the dark stillness
can our soul at last
rise to the surface
buoyed up by the sweet
currents of our most authentic self
