Nine to Five
It's Saturday morning -
a work week so stressful
I can barely move.
And there's a knot in my head
like a lump of nasty clay.
It has been such an issue,
the world of work -
demands and responsibilities,
constant focusing of attention,
obliged to produce,
for much of my day.
Thus I've often wondered,
is it a hindrance? A test? A boon?
Many reasons to run away,
many reason to stay.
But the mind of equanimity
gently consumes my life
Rendering this too,
the dilemma of work
to the status of
non-issue.
The advent of root awareness
even amidst the stress,
making all situations that:
just situations,
a another frame
in the movie of life.
Free awareness is king!
It's the great leveler,
the destroyer of illusions,
the means and the end,
the pinnacle of relief.
