for many, times are tough,
for the rest, illusions abound;
what are we to say or do?

surrender to the moment?
or surrender to the fateless flow?
which of these is germane?
is it weird, wild, or worried?
wherein lies the time and space
from stimulus to response?
in attending and intending,
could a surrender be salvation?
perhaps *wu wei is the key
