Elevators

The elevator of life



Elevators

A convenient way

To reach our destination.



The elevator of life however

Is not as convenient or simple

As up is down the path of delusion,

And down looks up toward awareness.

The open door button is the negativity that you let into your life,

Thus ruining the insides

The close door button represents your pride,

How you wouldn’t let everyone see through you at risk of being seen as vulnerable

So as you see someone running trying to catch your life’s elevator

You close the door….



And sometimes your elevator breaks down

But you refuse to take the stairs because you realize that they do not possess that adamantine luster

Because you was mystified in thinking that it was crystal.

As much as we hope that our elevators are different…..realize that they are all going in the same direction

Some go up, some down, some start at the ground floor and some….start at the basement

But just like in life, an elevator doesn’t stay down…..something or someone wants it to go up



So as we accept the journey of the ups and downs that is our life,

The elevator finally stops.

Capturing serenity through balance.
