when some part of you
gets so ridiculously caught up
in all those shoulds and oughtas:
that old goat, ego,
is just taking you for a ride.
Why not take back the reins
and head off in a different direction?
Or cut yourself a little slack;
step off that beaten path
you've built into your brain
and choose another way --
something that leads to a beach, perhaps,
or to some other quiet place
where all you'll hear and feel is spirit
stirring like wind, removing your hat
and running tender fingers through your hair.
