The Other Side

 Inside my room or cell, life mostly on my terms.  I control a lot about the room.  But when I step through my bedroom door I am entering into life on life’s terms.  Am I ready?  Yes, if I am in a good spiritual condition.  Because then I realize stuff might happen or show up, or be annoyingly repeated, and I have little to no control.  I walk out of my room with acceptance.  This keeps me serene more than resentful.  I am free from having the things in life control my emotions such that I react negatively to life not on my terms.  I don’t look to get my way.  I have preferences but not demands.  If I am not practicing a spiritual way of life, then look out!  The rage will rise again.
