why does that surprise you
why does that not surprise you
one and the same
words reflect acceptance
they assuage the inner tumult of
encountering minuscule unimportant incidents
an epiphany captured in those words
blocks dreadful internal chatter
“he didn’t do it…he never does it…doesn’t think to do it…he should do it…he won’t do it…he did it wrong…can’t do it right…”
the need for vile litany vanishes
supplanted by “why are you surprised”
followed by “why are you not surprised”
the one and the same
the instant relief
the surrender
the acceptance
the new tool deposited into your toolbox
useful
durable
instantaneous
long lasting until it’s not
