Read, Castigate, Give Up

This week I read portions

Of “Voices of Insight”, most

Of “Autobiography of a Yogi”,

Reached the clouds, then plunged

Into the slough of not-good-enough,

Sorting sins into piles, mortal and venial.

I counted out my failings,

No spiritual giant, me,

Until gently laughing at myself,

I let go. Today I am who I am

And that is good enough.
