709 MOTHER NATURE'S GIFT OF CONFUSION :)

As change is the only constant in life

Change is to be expected ... however ...

If unexpected change hangs heavy in the air

Then here's why it seems best for two to discuss

That which feels uneasy to one:

Any conflict that remains unclear and unresolved

Is sure to raise its head, again and again

So in hopes of nipping confusion (and conflict) in the bud

Common sense suggests

It's wise for one or both to surmise

Whether inner conflict may be the confusion creator

That is causing external conflict with another to develop
In case you'd like to ask why I see confusion as Mother Nature's gift ...

It's been my experience that confusion, due to inner conflict ...

Causes calm seas to grow choppy

And if, a smooth sailing boat starts to rock and

Two smart hearts can't open up to talk then
Clarity can't stop a seaworthy craft from capsizing

If capsizing takes place, here's what follows next:
It's each man for himself ...

Meaning that two people who care deeply

May swim toward separate shores

So sad, so true that it is often unnecessary

For two, who care deeply, to go their separate ways
When neither realizes that inner conflict may be
The primary reason that conflict arose between them

Once I'm aware that my connection to another

Is meaningful to my spirit's well being

My attention to how my time and energy is spent

Seems to re-prioritize, spontaneously

And in order to make certain that everything I've written

Concerning the defense system

Doesn't give confusion a bad rep

I feel the need to clarify this point:
Mother Nature has good reason

To offer the ego its proper place inside our brains

You see, each time the ego shrinks in fear or feels slighted

Our think tanks feel more confused than clear
And confusion is the gift suggesting conflict rumbling ... within

More about learning to I.D. inner conflict in a later post ...
