The lessons we learn
When things do not go as planned
Build up resilience

Each new sight and sound
Added to the treasure trove
The gifts of being

So far underfoot
As the journey continues
Savour the detours

Look back and take stock
What have you gained getting here 
And what have you lost?

Don’t judge too quickly
All may not be what it seems
Consider, then act

Accept and move on
Don’t let disappointment win
Start afresh each time

Caught up in our thoughts
Overwhelmed by our feelings
Missing the moment

In the small moments
Continually aware
Find stability

Seeing the moment 
Willingness to embrace it
There lies contentment

There will be bad days
Things don’t always go to plan
Don’t be disheartened

The details matter
Stick carefully to the plan
One step at a time

Steadily forward
Not always as expected
Forward nonetheless

Unquestionable
Faithful, true and enduring
The love of a dog

Others’ behaviour
Don’t try to make sense of it
It is what it is

Free, without limit
The gifts of the infinite
Flowing through us all
