The Husbandly Mind

That only tends to its heart like a good husband does to his wife all the time

---

When you are lacking something 
The mind keeps looking
For ways and means 
To satisfy it

In this way 
The mind becomes match maker 
Matching all that we are missing 
And finding ways and means 
To satisfy that need within us

But the mind doesn’t stop there 
It goes one step further 
It pulls down the menu guide
And checks for every feeling
That the heart feels
Whenever the match making happens 

If the heart feels right 
Then the mind makes the match
But until the heart looks happy 
The mind is not satisfied either

The mind doesn’t tell the heart
This is your lot 
You’ve got to life with this lot only
Learn to adjust
Learn to live with what you have with you
Joyfully

Oh no! The mind never does that 
The mind only keeps comparing 
Diligently 
To check if the heart feels happy
For every match it makes 

And only once the match is made
The mind stops its matchmaking process
Sometimes it takes years
For the heart to feel happy in this way 

The mind remains patient with it
It only keeps asking the heart 
Is it this one?
Yes?
No?
Ok! Then let’s discard them

And starts from the beginning 
Once more
All over again

Sometimes even after the heart feels happy
The mind doesn’t fully stop 
It just pauses 
Takes a brief coffee break

And then waits patiently for the heart 
To give it the green signal again 
And once it does get the green signal 
From the heart 
The mind restarts its matchmaking process
All over once again 

What a lovely duo 
We have been bestowed
The mind is so patient
And loving to the heart 

No ego 
No nonsense 
It understands it’s job
And takes it to completion 
Every single time 

Doesn’t get tired 
Doesn’t complain 
Just diligently 
Keeps searching 
And keeps comparing
To see if the heart is happy again 

What a blessing we have in the mind 
Thank you husbandly mind!
