Now What, Universe?

What's the most
important thing
in any given
moment?

The highest first
my friend says.
Someone else says
if you have to eat
two frogs eat the
ugliest one first.

Some other people
say:
Do what makes you
feel good.

Follow your heart
not your mind.

It's not always easy
to know what to do
when such random
thoughts proliferate
your mind's landscape.

In the end, it may come
down to what you can
live with.
Set your standards high
and enforce your belief
that the universe will see
to it that they are fulfilled.

Compromises can be
minimal or even
non-existent.

Other times you
have to have faith
that what looks
not so good on
the surface will
turn out much better
than all your anxieties
are pelting you with.

Your heart knows.
Follow it.
You can trust it.
Mistakes will lessen
as your betting on
yourself continues.

All is well in a
perfect world.
All is well in
our world, also.

Your life just
keeps getting
better and better--
and you keep listening
for that guidance.

It is much wiser
than you mind
will ever be.
