MISTRESS-SHIP
All my frustration with Life
comes from my unwillingness
to be the way I’m expecting from It.
All the acceptance, understanding, love
I’m looking forward to receive
is what I need to give.
That’s the root of gnawing irritation,
while somewhere deep inside
speaks to me my inner guide:
“Let go, let go of impossible expectation
and channel your time and energy
in being the change you’d like to see.
Any joy you ever experience
is your own feeling
arising from your own being,
and every agony you twist in
comes from denying and punishing
your own ability and Mistress-ship.”
