Enterprising: Exploring Attachment

There are times
When it seems
Attachment is merely
One of the joys of life!

Grabbing
And letting go,
Just the rhythm
Of being,

Pleasure
In each,
And
Both at once,

The presence
Of clinging
Matters not,
Nor of letting go;

And sometimes
Both are present,
In complementary portions
That don’t dilute happiness at all!

But then still,
There are other times,
When this clinging
Is very painful indeed,

Then it can be
Very distracting
And difficult to endure,
Until at last it goes;

Then relief follows
But watch out!
For unwariness can lead to
Grabbing onto that relief
And suffering may follow.
