Round and round we go,
looping and repeating,
distracted with ourselves –
chasing tail.
Transformation comes only
when we lose interest
in this game –
when it finally dawns on us
how much time,
and how much energy
is lost
in the constant spinning.
It is the miracle
of the pause
which lifts us up
and out –
and helps us connect
to what is real and true.
We discover the wonder of rest, and
in the birth of this realization,
we learn to drop the chase.
We are finally free.
