Understanding Lack

Actually life is good!
Not just because things go my way; they actually rarely do.

At least to the degree of an exacting specification.

Certainly I’d not claim I have no problems; none so great they sap my happiness.
But really, sometimes I let them,

I realize that after the fact

When I chose to make judgments,

Concerning me and the world at large

I was caught unaware.

Now is a liberty that is so very precious

I recognized the freedom as both powerful and valuable
So for all those times I use to think things were unfair

Or that I didn't deserve my harsh punishment

Through that suffering

I learned better ways
leaving lack in the dust of my personal history

As something I don’t have to continue to practice

To understand
