A Question 1 Poem by Ging Taping

A Question 1



Why make things complicated
When it can be uncomplicated...

Why it is impossible
When it can be possible..

Why expect the unexpected
When expectation leads to frustration..

Why make things harder
When it can be easier..

Why go with the flow
When you can choose where to go..

Why in a hurry
Take it slowly
but surely..
The world will not collapse
even if you miss a laps....

Why we ask perfection
in the world of imperfection..

Why fall
And be a fool..
Why love
And need to be loved..

It's still a long journey my dear
You'll never know
until you get there..

1. complicated can be so much more fun. of course you might break a leg. 2. well, sometimes, but don’t count on it! 3. it can also, at times, lead to advance preparation and salvation! ! 4. my ‘home boss’ often asks me that question. 5. with the flow IS where I go ………….. sometimes. especially when swimming in the ocean. 6. is this advice for lovemaking? [maybe try “miss some laps” so you don’t have “a laps”? ] 7. because sometimes we can then at least get ‘better’ rather than ‘worse’. 8. this seems to be TWO questions. A. #1: ‘falling’ does not always equal ‘being a fool’! ! ! and falling can be a learning process! A. #2: “LOVE”………. the word which can cause so much joy AND so much heartache. who REALLY can control it? ? ? 9. what is a long journey? going with the flow may make it smoother, though perhaps not as satisfying. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO KNOW? ? ? bri :)
