How Receptive Are We

How receptive are we
to taking a detour,
simply breaking routine,
for that’s how we may see,
the hitherto unseen?

How receptive are we,
to an opposing view,
outside our comfort zone,
for who knows that’s how we
may come into our own?

How receptive are we
in ending resistance,
that whence we surrender,
we’re in the here and now,
awestruck thus in wonder?

How receptive are we
to meld head with our heart,
ending inner conflict,
that we may stand erect,
with our soul now love inked?
