Free Association

26 September 2012

I've got it!

Life is like free association!
  It just rambles on,
  sometimes as planned,
  but many times as if directed
  not by ourselves, but by another.

The lines of our days
  show up on the pages of our lives,
  littered with run-on sentences,
  paragraphs without endings,
  stories cut short,
  ideas repeated over and again,
  and the occassional
  inspired and powerful insight.

Ours is to rummage through the
  apparent chaos to find
  the jewels.

They are there,
  often hidden among the wreckage
  of plans gone awry,
  or experiences we would prefer to forget.

They are there,
  waiting for our discovery.
