You Are It

“If someone tells you, you can’t do something.
You say: yes I can, I’m doing it right now.”

---- Dinner For Schmucks.


This is it;
the one secret that is right out in the open:-

You are perfectly in-tune;
you are playing your own life-music,
you’re both the instrument and all the notes,
but you have to accept this.

This acceptance will cure your craziness.
It stops dead all expectations
because what you expect
is not what this happening of you is.
You are doing it already.

You are not just any schmuck,
you are the one and only schmuck.

Now your purpose; now your secret
is fully revealed to you – you cannot blow it
no matter how hard you try.
Go happen.
