Don’t be dialled to 100%
Commitment is over rated
Why?
Because it leaves no space for God
No space for freedom
No space to change on a whim
No place for what’s yours to slip in
No gap for serendipity
Synchronicity
For the doors that slide open
Appearing out of the unforeseen
You won’t even see them if you’re not there
Not in the moment
With that big broad mind wide open
Instead it is blinkered
Because you’re so busy thinking
Planning
Plotting
Being this ideal version of what you thought you wanted
Don’t commit 100%
Leave a little space for God
I’m a firm believer in being 95%
It stops me from being radical
It keeps me humble
Open minded
Tolerant
Flexible
Fluid
It allows space for plans to change
For a non vegan menu
It allows something better than what I can dream up to find me
It leaves some space for God
To bless me
With ever greater things
It keeps the blinkers off
“It stops me from being radical” What’s wrong with being radical? This is yet another wonderful poem. Well done! 😀
Well radical leaves no room for learning a different point of view and I like to learn from different perspectives than my own otherwise I get pretty bored with myself. I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
Lol. We gotcha! We seeing radical in two different contexts but we completely understand; Ohhh the irony.
Well done, as usual!

You’re welcome!
And being 100% committed can suck the life right out of you…
Absolutely
This is why no matter how poopy I feel my camera and lenses are always next to me in the passenger seat of my truck 😉 Beautifully written!
