Become highly selective and discerning about the thoughts that come into your mind. Observe your mind. Who is it that observes? You. You are not your mind, your emotions, or your body.
~John Roger
Neither body nor the mind
Nor emotions do define
The miracles combined
To render you
Evolution, quite divine
Contoured your soul, refined
Your divinity’s been mined
God’s burst through
How utterly amazing
Are you?
stolen
potential, possibilities, chance
stolen?
when choosing to stand back, not dance?
thieving
one’s own coffers
shirking onus
victim stance
stolen
hardly ever
loss is rarely happenstance
chosen
now that’s the truth of the matter
I’ll climb up the ladder
Stainless and tall
With a bottle of wine in my hand
Then sit on the roof
In wonder and awe
Gazing out at the stark desert land
I’ll sip and I’ll ponder
The beauty beyond
Watch the deer and the bobcat glide by
I’ll listen intently
To nighthawks and owls
As the bats flit across twilight sky
Here in Sonora
Harsh, exquisite, bold
I’ll take it all in
On this journey towards old

Formed
of
dissonance,
their lofty,
soft appearance
does deceive
For in the eyewall
past the core,
winds ~
fierce velocity
achieve
On occasion,
The well-grounded
get a sense
of the discord
But another’s forecast
cannot calm
storm brewing
untoward
downward spirals drive adjustment
forcing self to tighter space
view compresses, introverts
remarkably slowing pace
for clearer vision
