Who’s RUNNING This Show?

We constantly remind ourselves we are no longer running the show… ~ Alcoholics Anonymous (Kindle Location 1206)

Yump, dum, duddle-duddle,
yump, dum, duddle-duddle…
let the show begin! Lions, tigers,
elephants, bonny young ladies
on the flying trapeze…
I fancy myself loud-voiced, brash
announcing the acts, accepting awe.
Yet, within, I know I can no better
run the circus than I could juggle
six clubs while riding a unicycle.
I’m a failure at keeping things going,
at managing the show.
And therein dwells comfort, euphoria,
real joy in merely giving up
and enjoying the spectacle
just doing my part and letting
a Power run the extravaganza.
