The cycle of life is always controversial
What bothers you today is tomorrow menial
There isn’t a set pattern in which to comply with
Don’t place your faith in the media and commercials
Rolling waves causing you to swim in all directions
There is no avoiding the common intersections
Surf with the water to experience a smooth flow
Never permit your spirit to hand out rejections
Enjoy the positive and savor the negative
They are conflicting for now but remain relative
Accepting one without the other isn’t complete
Continue forth being open and contemplative
Thinking about life, I felt that everything occurs in cycles that include opposition. For every occurrence, we can argue whether it’s right or wrong, but after it passes, it matters no more because it was part of the cycle. It’s always best to go with the flow because we must accept the lessons we’re meant to learn.
No need to distinguish between good and bad, both experiences have value for our person. Accepting one without the other is half a cycle. The experience is conflicting in the moment, but it is relative to the big picture. It’s always best to continue on while remaining open and being contemplative.

I especially like this line
“Rolling waves causing you to swim in all directions”
It’s a really good metaphor for all the myriads of challenges, occurrences, people, situations etc that come at you throughout your lifetime. I also like the idea of savoring the negative. It adds a perspective from which to measure the positive and helps us in our ability to adapt and make wise choices and learn from those that perhaps were not so wise….negatives can be learning moments. And — as I used to tell my students in the 1970s (when Star Trek was on tv): the only “person” I know who is perfect is Spock….and he’s part Vulcan with pointy ears. I don’t see any pointy ears here! “

I like to think that perfection is all around, as long as we’re willing to see it.
