When Plans Dissolve

When Plans Dissolve

Pay attention
When plans dissolve
In jarring disarray,
Confounding expectations.

Discern symbols to interpret,
Like dreams foreboding
Without warning new directions,
Challenges vaguely disguised.

Become accustomed to
Discomfort alone-ness,
Even loneliness
As you sit in solitude.

Don’t despair –
Listen intently to whispers
Emerging – no longer lost
In mind chatter distraction.

Release expectations,
Embrace uncertainty,
Be open – resolute,
Trust in the unfolding.
