Spirit tells me that awareness always comes

Before response, however limited or distorted

That awareness might be.

Knowing that it’s raining outside may inspire us

To dress appropriately for that particular

Weather condition, before we open the door.

Or, we may choose to remain indoors until

The rain decides to stop.

We adapt, each in our own way and to an

Individual degree, to whatever situation

Life presents us with.

We choose how and why to face it, or not to,

Or, at least not yet.

Is one of us stalling for time?

Yes, you are.
