(22.7.2024 ff)
Well, thank you for the sleep I had with you,
safely in your presence all night through.
And thank you for the chance to walk today
along with you, to hear what you might say,
and watch and look and listen caref’lly to
the things you set up, and the things you do
as you take up responsibility
for all that happens here. I think I see
what you are doing, well some parts of it,
yet there is much I don’t see, which can’t fit
within my model world (which is too small
to comprehend the whole, or take in all).
I start to understand, because I bet
that as I do grow more my “Right” will yet
not leave me “Left” alone in meaningless
self-referring circles. You’re my “Yes!”
I'm glad you've let us find out more on brains -
the partnership of hemispheres that strain
some expectations, because they commit
to work together, and in that way fit
in both wide worlds @once: folk/things & facts,
to understand enigmas, pains & acts.
God, I am now determined to let you
be my Right Hemisphere, to see each clue,
to fill me in on purpose, & what’s worth
my time, attention, and assumptions birthed,
from which I draw conclusions, so my key
is that I keep referring back to see
how I've been going; let your veto stay,
let you turn me to face another way.
I'm trusting you to partner more (not less);
as we walk into this new day I’m blest.
I’m tainted with some motives I declare -
I’ve self-serving propensities that wear
me thin. I start to understand the sense
in your command for me to love, and hence
with nothing Left upon its own, I give
my energies to serve as though I live
to bow the knee to you, your purposes.
Allegiance, looks up first, then out, then says…
