after arrests, firings, failures
pain of a wide variety
was that most things
are outside my control
that I exist and operate
within a broader context
sometimes benevolent
sometimes malevolent
but always indifferent
to my personal desires
and perceptions
the understanding of this
the deference to this reality
struck me, for a time, as supplication
which I rejected
and caused more suffering
but in eventual acceptance to this fact
the truth that I can only control myself
and exist within and am a part of
a wonderous, eclectic organism
a life, not exclusive from but included within
something wider, greater
in this knowledge
I found a new freedom
a new happiness
