……allow the waves
“Let what comes, come.
Let what goes, go.
Don’t try to push away what comes.
It’s already here and it will pass.
Don’t try to cling to what goes.
The leaving is natural. Bless the leaving too.
Let what stays, stay.
Let what dies, die.
Let what lives, live.
Be the wide open space
for all of it.
Every thought, every feeling.
Be the awareness.
Be the ocean.
Allow the waves.”
by Jeff Foster
Musically yours, Gregory

I love in a zone of safety now- no one can take it from me… in the past I gave up and scared my heart so this time around I will not relinquish it. How about that Gregory?

I love that poem! It’s beautiful! I write poetry also.
Here is my first one, which is my crown jewel.
It’s called “Where The Day Takes You”
Where the day takes you
you never know
Where the day takes you
Is where you will go
People getting killed
Over stupid lies
As all of this is happening
I do not know why
Sometimes I wonder
What it’s like to be
Living in a world
That wants to be free
So when the day wakes you
You will know
And where the day takes you
That’s where you will go.
I hope you like it.

I needed to hear that. I love a heroin Addict reeking havoc in my life. I have to let go. But I love her deeply.. but when she goes and disappears I yearn for her and worry for her saftey. Listening to your poem has freed me from my unrealistic thoughts. Thank you Gregory

I’ve been there Michael. Sometimes it takes ‘tough love”….. not easy….. but often the best course to take.
Best to you my friend.

Dear Gregory ~ So much wisdom to your post regarding ” Allowing ” what simply is to be . There is a lot to the art to allowing….I so often actually want to manipulate the waves of life at times. lol What you wrote is very profound and deep. Someone once said ” what you resist will persist. ” I think it is somewhat along the same lines as what you are saying. One could ponder upon your words for a good while. One must become the observer. Maybe you can take them and incorporate the basic idea of them into a song. Much Love to you and yours. A true admirer , Laura
