A Healing Habit

Tak C. Poon, MD

Wonderful world gives me pleasure and happiness,
about half the time, when things go right.

Harsh reality teaches me pain and acceptance,
when things go wrong, the other half of the time.

But life intrinsically is joy,
all the time, with all that’s in it,
when I take it off the measuring scale
and dance with it in the ever-changing
yet eternal now.

If I make a habit of not containing this joy,
it overflows,
immerses my work,
floods my days,
and becomes me.
