Everything Is An Opportunity

Jan7

Open Doors

Many doors are before you. Each one is a brand
New adventure. The choices you have keep you well
Motivated. You put you life in your own hands.
Any path that you choose your consciousness expands.
In the heat of the moment your spirit must dwell.
Life is an opportunity from where you stand.

Being the kind of person that you choose to be
Is of utmost importance. Your understanding
That everything that comes your way is a blessing
Is your mindset of armor. No second guessing
Do you have about joy in your life expanding.
You transcend any situation easily.

Everything given to us by God is perfect.
No one can deny that the mountains, the valleys,
The rivers, and wildlife are all masterpieces
Of divinity. Observation increases
Our belief in perfection. No one holds rallies
Against absolute beauty as one would expect.

Everything else that we have has come about by
Our own thinking which too often leads us into
An acute misperception of reality.
As you see your life as an opportunity
You’ll find that there isn’t anything you can’t do.
Your own wellbeing you can no longer deny.

The Eagle Mentality

Oct14

Survival Consciousness

Some birds talk too much, and they can’t fly very high
As compared to the eagle. At high altitude
And in silence, the eagle flies mostly alone
Or with other eagles. It is not all that prone
To engage in small chatter. What it has pursued
Has no chance of survival. Indeed it will die.

Keep good company is the lesson to be learned.
Eagles can focus on something as far away
As three miles. They have vision and are persistent
Fear in them is naturally nonexistent
They welcome challenges in pursuing their prey.
With all obstacles, they will remain unconcerned.

When storm clouds gather the eagles get excited.
The wind lifts them and lets them give rest to their wings.
Other birds hide in branches until all has passed.
High above the clouds, the eagle’s vision is vast.
Contrast is part of life. To everyone it brings
Chances for your desires to become ignited.

The eagle does not scavenge. It eats only that
Which it has killed itself, meaning do not rely
On successes of others. Leave your comfort zone.
Anything in the past you can well leave alone.
Don’t let the raging storm keep you from flying high.
Focus only on things that you want to look at.

A Blue Jay’s Visit

Jul3

Mischievous Messenger

There can be no disturbance like that of a bird
Who’s become a winged messenger of the divine.
Like the clear sky is blue with some whiteness of cloud,
The blue jay’s colors match it. That’s why it is proud.
For your visit I’ve waited. You are a sure sign
That the words that I need to hear soon will be heard.

Petrified am I often of sudden noises
Loud and shrill, they’re a nuisance. I can’t get much done
When the country is high on bombs bursting in air.
I was there once, but this time it wouldn’t be fair
To the brave who have fallen. I celebrate none
Of the grossly ironic that life proposes.

But that damned cackling blue jay is at my front door
Making such a commotion. At first I’m annoyed
At it’s utter audacity at audio.
My first thought is that this frigging creature must go.
But then it occurs to me it must be employed
By the angels in heaven where I’ve been before.

I am told that in boldness I must carry on
And defend my position vociferously.
Time for shyness is over. I haven’t grown meek.
I am guided by spirit by now. All I seek
Is the means to remain open and completely
In the hands of divinity as is the dawn.
