the need to control
to know
to make the flow go
where you want it to
go
can only end in
disaster

you will know what you are in charge of
you will know what you can accomplish and cannot
you will know where your limitations are
where your knowledge leaves off
where your expertise
ends

let other people
know
decide
flounder if floundering is needed
(because sometimes to succeed
the floundering really is what’s needed)
if they are the ones in charge
then they are the ones who should take charge
and you
stay in your lane
merge if merging is asked of you
but only if you
can
do

the rest is left to the universe

late night writing
(not that late)
(is it even night?)
(damn daylight savings)
(at least i am writing)

~~~

what if
i let myself
really
trust
in the universe
and let
the rest
go?

~~~

there is an adage
in auditioning
in acting in general
to ‘find the love’

in any scene
if it seems
about money
or revenge
or procedure
or humor
or anything
or nothing
something
to make it
more interesting
more alive
find
the love

in life
in living
in the universe

find
the love

if my connection to the universe
shows itself in
gut-feelings
and pre-physical-incident indications

and i can analyze those
to near-death
because i am so damn
analytical

then maybe, if i stop the overthinking
(or at least cut it down
as much as possible)
could my connection show itself
in other ways?

if i’m still getting the connection(s)
at my most evidence-needed/
over-thinking/
super-agnostic/
self,

what would happen if/when
i just
trust?
