'Journeying' - 100 Day Poetry Contest Day 21
Welcome... To a 100 day journey into the poetic minds of the @steemitschool writing community!
Yes... it's not just me who's a part of this epic journey of daily inspiration and sharing... but over 100 others too!
I am so excited and honored to be a part of THIS INCREDIBLE CONTEST devised and facilitated by the legend that is @d-pend.
Today's piece is about Tension. I returned home with exactly 1 dollar in my pocket and a load of debt. I'm living between sofas. I have nothing right now, and although really deep down I know that I have everything I need... and right now being semi 'broke' is the experience I need... it's easy to get lost...
These kinds of situations can cause a lot of tension. But tension is natural and can be our greatest ally - wisdom that I am aware of and was reflected back to me by a friend when I was telling him about my transition home and the current situation I am in...
So today I thought I would write about that.
Thanks as always for reading and I hope you enjoy!
With Love

Journeying
Not the destination.
Yet so often it’s our journey,
That leads to frustration.
It’s easy to get wrapped up,
And feel trapped,
Like doors have shut,
Stuck in a rut,
Unable to see clearly,
The road that lies ahead.
Tension will always seek to resolve itself.
This will happen naturally.
Yet when we feel that tension,
It’s at the forefront of our attention,
We feel the need to try and ease it,
We feel discomfort and so we seek resolution,
We smoke,
We drink,
We hide,
We lie,
All attempts to finally find the solution.
But all it causes is further mental pollution.
He said that tension is our greatest ally.
That if left to resolve on it’s own,
It’s the strongest catapult that can help us to fly,
The trick is to just -
Not Try.
Instead of trying to avoid tension,
We should embrace it,
And cultivate it.
Become comfortable in the discomfort,
And know that it is part of the path.
Because our goals so often scare us.
That’s where we begin to feel the tension.
But it’s just the Universe that dares us -
To walk the path of our ascension.
