No Sittin' on Go

No Sittin’ on Go!

Starter

The center

of our bodies--

the guts--

seems to be

our battery,

the starter

of the engine.

Yes, the brain

pushes the button

and away we go

according to plan,

but something inside us

has to say yes.

That's our center.

To Ponder

            1.   Imperfect as we and our ideas may be, we have to start

                  somewhere with something.

            2.   This something is other than an impulsive act, since it

                  comes from deep inside, only a spark perhaps, but

                  resident within us.

            3.   You’re not able to peer around corners, but must go

                  side-by-side with a corner to see what gives.

            4.   The first corner may offer nothing, and require no turn,

                  but you’re now on your way.

            5.   Quietness, as opposed to the rumble of impulse, allows

                  you to listen for the snap of that spark.

            6.   The engine turns over, warms up, is ready.

            7.   You grasp the possibility and push the button. No sttin’

                  on Go!
