In Media Res

In the middle of a conflict—
emotionally,
heavy winds blowing
lightning flashing
dark skies
branches blowing down.

In the middle of a conflict,
suddenly
everything clears up.

Blue skies
glorious Sun
ecstasy—

clarity
as far as you can see.

The energy of the conflict
partially applied to—
something! The total form
unclear, but some effort
has been made
to deal with it
by taking it within,
use it for healing,
discover its truth,
see what needs to change.

This is
the result.

Is it the eye of the storm,
is the rest of the hurricane,
 to come?
Who knows?

For this moment,
rejoice!

Jump
as high as you can!
