the work of understanding 7/21/19


what is the work that understanding does?
I pass through this moment 
with an abundance of brain-clutter?
I live in an informed countenance of passivity?
I am waiting for an opportunity 
to share this mind-field of wealth?
all that I have come to know
gives fear a basis of operation
as to how I prepared for what’s next. 
understanding has a potential affect 
on how and why next moments present.
but understanding also has a passivity to it.
a way of falsely calming one down
a ploy of ignorance to the moment at hand
a reliance on memory and expectation’s worth
understanding can be a story 
read to oneself to feel okay
understanding can be a workforce from within,
active and ever presently engaged.
it can be a style of self-permission,
a method of pursuit,
a singular means of competence,
a feel providing for readiness,
a personal method for being self-referential,
for some, understanding does not mean mindful.
understanding is only the work,
not the person 
or the grounds for claiming one’s worth.
understanding can fill the moment
and void the depth of being.
understanding is the standard safety net approach.
but it is one dimension shy of being the driver.
the work of understanding 
is in the hands of the spirit of the being.
and the artist of the mind
only creates from the inspiration of that soul . . .
