Expectation syndrome * 12/13/13


  

Expectancy patterns,
recognition demands it with immediacy. 
Then the shower of knowing reflectively verifies.
Grounded in the internal say, coming forth.
All is dependent upon uniformities revisited.
Features are singled out and linked.
How superficial was that effort?
How deep was the interpretation?
Comparative truth, once again, without question.
Memory, with deep pockets, flutters to name.
Straight forward or cross-referenced,
is the mind’s work involved,
from elemental to educated to sophisticated.
There is the bearing
of well traveled to well versed,
possibly persistence into expertise.
A seasoned view reveals
relevancies and priorities,
the interjection of wit brought into play,
surmise resulting in summary.
But keep looking for life outside the ordinary.
Every thing familiar is eventually humdrum.
Expectations met are a form of soft dismissal.
Not asking for shocking,
just for something beyond the motor running,
something that touches deeply and expansively,
something of surprise as revelation,
something that puts familiarity in a new light,
something closer to the heart by awareness,
something with animation of being as evident.
Self-love, going forward,
has no expectations . . .
