ease and release

Waiting waiting, ambiguous waiting. Will he get the visa or will we be faced with collecting more papers to prove our love? Ah, bureaucracy---US combined with Indian might be our worst night mare. Slow and overly diligent, with a dash of corruption makes this process well one that takes super human power patience.
The tension rises like waves, coming and going, the breathe is my one grounding force.

Yet then with space to reflect i feel this ease and release when I simply let go...
let go of any and all delusional ideas of reality, i.e. that I can change this fucked up process, and just let go of this need for control
this need to plan my life ahead.
just let go and flow with it, accepting the process ...
as it is, in all its fucked upness.
And just see it AS IT IS.

The light is there,
shining through from the end of this narrow
dark tunnel.

It is our choice to aggravate the time by stressing the mind with what ifs and whys and hows
OR to release this tension and just be present with the darkness of this tunnel--
By just being here now.

Standing from the feet up.
grounding down so that the mind may be lifted up.

And realign your emotional balance.

Accept it.
Bureaucracy sucks. But IT IS.

oh magical visa,
we wait patiently.

may all those awaiting the bureaucratic process find peace through
this art of patience.

may all beings be happy.
may peace prevail on earth, and
may bureaucracy embrace logic one day.
