Thinking about my retirement

I have been engaged in remodeling a foreclosed house for the past month.  It has truly cut into my retirement, which is what I wanted, I thought.  But, all of this activity, meeting deadlines and working with subcontractors has created tensions in my life that were not there before I started this endeavor.  I was thinking that tensions would be good and invigorate me beyond my lazy days.  What this has taught me is that I am old enough to have lazy days.

Existence is more than it seems

Everyone knows the path

for your soul and why

we travel across time

and space the way we do.

Mazda and Gilgamesh knew

ask Jesus, Buddha, the Garuda 

Or indigenous folks

because they know the way.

Scientists, psychiatrists and

Isis will show you the road 

that is surely the way you

should go to find your bliss.

Somewhere inside your soul
is lurking waiting for you 

to find it 

A great game of hide

And seek 

and you are it
