SHOCK sometimes needed, when in rut.

Have found corner, won’t come out.

Fear taken over, heart left cold.

Times when okay, exactly place be.

Away from chaos, world has created.

When passing over, its Karmic storm.

Will pull through, holding onto certainty.

Turning to tools, collected through years.

Don’t lose hope, with what see.

Get out there, offering helping hand.

Doing what can, moment by moment.

Where not wanted, simply move on.

Guided by light, through pores glows.

For those ready, will be drawn.

Peace you have, they too want.

Share what know, part of community.

Spreading the word, new world coming.

Like a beacon, calm the anchor.

Foundation grows stronger, more taking shelter.

Winds are blowing, quaking of earth.

Change upon us, like or not.

Head in sand, or be prepared.

Sure with practical, but even more.

Check your priorities, what focusing on.

Self number one, starting there first.

Bringing out best, correcting what not.

As do this, desire to give.

The ripples flow, individual on up.

Home to neighborhood, ideally everyone included.

Mother Earth preparing, for next leap.

Ride the wave, or be swallowed.

Surfing takes training, lot of work.

Practice and practice, falls bound happen.

First baby crest, then rise higher.

Find the joy, in every challenge.

Seeking out next, even uncomfortable ones.

Some think crazy, that’s their opinion.

Heart knows destination, spirit get there.

In this trust, get on bus!
