Some people, especially men, want to assert control
By wielding, waving around, symbolic inflatable penises.

Most women, and even a few men, understand, on the other hand,
That letting go of one’s mental and physical tensile grip on life
Allows God to step in to do something unexpected,
Which, upon reflection, usually works out much better.

The truth is, God only acts when we allow space
For something “out of the blue” –
“Blue” being the color of pure spirit.

Sometimes, we see this through the eyes of a tiny insect
And, sometimes, like God, we see it through the eyes of the entire universe
Which is similar to observing God coming to earth –
What we pray for, but usually, don’t truly want.

God, please permit me to give up my desire for full control.

Let me give it up with a smile –
Like the memory of one time I wasn’t pressing so hard –
Waiting for God –
Hoping that my “false self”
Would finally give me permission to let go!
