Dissension: Making up the Mind

Tonight’s repast,
A simple vegetarian stew,
Enough for one hungry
Or two on a diet;

Pondering deeply
Various questions,
Am I progressing?
Or just recycling?

Examining this wheel,
This repeating pattern,
Speculating upon
Where it’s going next.

Discouragingly predictable
From this perspective,
Whatever that may be,
Something negative I expect,

But here’s the quandary:
Where to go
And how to get there
Without replicating the cycle?

It’s so predictable
After a while
But, hey, maybe
That’s the way out,

Experimenting with different approaches,
Letting go, trying to change,
But not sure what’s appropriate
Or if it will work;

Oh well, got to get going,
Stop dithering and fiddling
And do some mindfulness,
Bringing kindness and awareness to it.
