The Great Mysterious Muse hit me the other day with a sledgehammer
(Seems harsh but sometimes, that is what it takes...)
She said that I needed to share more, to experience more, to express more
So, I did. Then, she asked me to do more for others, and I thought she was a little
Pushy, and that I grew up pressuring myself to do more for others all of my life
So, I clenched my teeth (my hands and feet) and stood up to her and told her
That I was tired of doing for others, been doing it all my life, tired and drained now
And, she responded that perhaps all that I did for others was a result of my belief
That I was not good enough, that I was unloveable and doing for others helped me
Feel better. Couldn’t argue with that. She told me that this time and from now on
Doing for others means, doing for myself initially, that is the correct order
And once I do for myself, what I give to and share with others will be so much
More loving and sweet and kind, and that only when I learn to be gentle with myself
Can I be gentle with those others out there who also need human love and care
I couldn’t argue with that, so I accepted her request and life has now transformed
