There are examples everywhere…
The petals of the flower
unfold with grace
and without struggle.
The dog wags his tail
without question
or worry about how silly he may appear.
The cloud floats
across a big sky –
allowing the breezes to direct it.
The waves surge –
rising and falling
to a mysterious rhythm and song
and changes as necessary.
So, what is this angst
that pulls at you,
fooling you into thinking
that there is something wrong?
Look at the path ahead.
It unwinds without effort.
You need not know where it leads.
It matters not
how your path differs
from the one next to you.
This is your path.
Feel the ground under you.
Walk.
