"learning to listen to this rhythm that is all her own"
Are you learning how to do this?
I think, I am, yet, it doesn't come automatically.
My immediate tendency is seeking out something to do with myself
rather than listening to any rhythms. There's always plenty to do.
"to let the low notes be low, the high notes be high--to greet
each thing as treasure no matter how clever the disguise."
This is a recently learned lesson that shifts the perspective when things go "wrong".
Instead of fussing and complaining, I look for ways discomfort can help instead of hinder.
"...to not go too soon to not stay too long."
This is where the listening is key...
taking cues from inside rather than relying on others.
I tend to look for permission from someone else,
rather than giving it to myself.
How many times have I ruefully realized later
that I should have listened to my inner voice earlier?
May we all stay in harmony with our own rhythm.
Namaste'
