Conservation: Steady As She Goes

Unpleasant or not,
In the end
I just have to
Keep going,

On and off the cushion,
Continuation is what’s needed,
Persistence,
Getting on with things.

Feelings come and go,
But daily life goes on
With or without
Confidence or fear,

I just have to get up
To meet the day,
For as long as
There are challenges,

In other words,
For as long as life lasts,
Which is unknown
To any of us.

To take charge
Of this energy,
This is the route,
To make it;

To get on Horse
And ride,
As far as I can go,
This is the approach

I took today,
And my beautiful Horse
Carried me all the way,
Through fire and water,
Without pause or hesitation.
