Imagine yourself

life is what you make of it

Are you taking?
Are you giving?

Are you stranded?
Shipwrecked?  
Lost in a sea of your own mind

You are right where you are supposed to be
Right when you are needed
Now.  Here.  
No kiddin’

It’s all about your frame of reference.
You have the power to shift it at will.
Your imagination
…is limitless.

 

 

 

Awareness of Opportunity

Re-contextualized, simplified, and illuminated:
When your perspective undergoes a shift,
windows through the darkness may appear.

A way out, a way forward
We are all going to look up
and see the dividing line

A blue sliver of sky through full cloud cover

It is our choice
to be aware
to be open
to follow our dreams
or not.

Secret gardens hidden fruits

Don’t forget to look down.  Stoop down.  Look at what you’re about to step on and look over to side at what is not so trodden.  What is there?

what magical other place this is? So easily hidden in plain view

And how does this newness you just discovered apply?

How does it affect your imagination and link to your usual perspective?

You fly by, capture a speeding glimpse and are forever changed, if you allow it within yourself.  If you are willing to let it open chains of thought, willing to let it somewhere near your heart.

The secrets are there for you to learn and share.

Their rich juices will feed your soul through osmosis.

Here are a few that I’ve found and stolen away…

For a rainy day.

The trees are speaking

What whispers will spill,

from between the cracks in the bark?

What creaks and moans,

bends in the wind,

grows tall in the dirt and snow.

Greetings of fruit to bear

shade from the heat during the Summer months,

shade from the Sun’s far reaching rays.

What ways do you grow?

What fruit do you bear?

Who do you cast a shadow upon,

as the sunlight feeds us all…

Withering season

Outside, all alone

the wind howls

your bones chill

the sun wanes

and your leaves shrivel up.

This too shall pass

your roots will spread

you come from a long lineage

of hearty survivors

and bigger fish.

Just don’t forget the little fish

long gone food for naught, not you.

Chewed for thought, spit back out

into the exact place that you can take root and grow

mature into your own adulthood

generate your own budding, scatterable

seeds of thought.
