Soothing Thoughts

Can I heal myself through my determination
To do so? Can I figure out what to do then
Set a goal and achieve it? These thoughts are upstream
And I know they won’t help me to fulfill my dream
Of a life of simplicity. I don’t know when
I’ve ever been in such a tough situation.

I need thoughts that are downstream. I need to let go
Of a ton of resistance. It stands in the way
Of my becoming the person I’m meant to be.
I must know that there’s nothing the matter with me.
To get into alignment what price must I pay?
It’s that of being willing to go with the flow.

My life has caused me to create it. I know it’s
Waiting for me. I don’t have to worry about
It becoming reality. I don’t have to
Figure it all out right now. All I need to do
Is to keep myself free of any thoughts of doubt
Which means I cannot focus too much on my wits.

It’s natural for things to turn out well for me.
There’s no rush. I’ve got plenty of time to do this.
When I feel like doing it, it always feels good.
When I don’t, then it sucks. It’s now well understood.
All the things that are going well I can’t dismiss.
To think any thought I want I’m perfectly free.

How To Heal A Broken Heart

Aug27

We’ve heard the idea that time heals everything.
Yet if your leg was broken would you just let time
Heal it? Treat your heart with the same level of care
That you would your leg otherwise to your heart there
May be danger. The height of emotional crime
Only rises so onto your heart you will cling.

The danger is that your heart having been broken
Will heal a little too closed, a bit crooked, and
A little too easily bruised if only time
Were the healer. The outcome that would be sublime
Is a parting of ways where you both understand
Why it happened and your hearts have truly spoken.

There’s a movement afoot in the therapeutic
Community. It has to do with Prolonged Grief
Disorder – a chronic heightened state of mourning.
Post-Traumatic Growth is now what is happening.
From your heartache you can find a lasting relief.
It may be the only thing that will do the trick.

We’re all at risk of having this experience.
The loss of a loving relationship is one
Of the hardest things to go through. It can break your
Spirit as well as your heart but know that the cure
Is your heartache. It helps in your transformation
Into someone who loves again with confidence.

The Instrument To Heal Is The Soul

Aug24

The soul is the instrument that needs to be healed.
But what is the soul? Let us walk up to the door
Of the soul and knock gently. Who answers may be
One of wisdom or ignorance. If you can see
Past your sorrows you’re able to tolerate more
Of life’s contrast wherein your power is revealed.

Think of someone you truly hate and can’t forgive
For the harm they have done you. Now what if they said,
“What a bummer. I’m sorry. I never meant to
Do you harm. Let’s just call it a day.”? How would you
Feel about it? Would negative thoughts fill your head
And your heart? Can this be the way you’d want to live?

Now let’s change the story a bit. What if this one
That you hate so much came up to you and said, “I
Really screwed up and I did it all consciously.
I knew that it would hurt you. That didn’t stop me
From behaving improperly. I don’t know why
I committed this act. I hate what I have done.”?

Each scenario knocks on the door to the soul.
But which one does the healing? And which causes pain
To resurface. Both victim and victimizer
Can experience healing. Which is the wiser
Choice to make? Which way can net spiritual gain?
In each moment you can play the enlightened role.

Forgiveness

Apr27

An intentional and voluntary process
By which one undergoes a change in feelings and
Attitude regarding an offense – this is what
Is defined as forgiveness. When the heart is shut
It can’t happen, so it’s helpful to understand
The most beneficial nature of forgiveness.

Forgiveness is a powerful spiritual
Tool especially for people willing to move
Away from the lower levels of consciousness.
It’s a virtuous act. You don’t have to express
To the offender your change of heart because you’ve
Reached a place where you’re not into that rationale.

Emotional forgiveness is for you – not the
Offender. Scientific studies have proven
That people who forgive are much happier than
Those who harbor resentments. So make it a plan
To forgive your trespassers. Healing begins when
You decide that it’s healthier to be hate free.

People are programmed by society and past
Karmic tendencies. The collective ignorance
Of the world keeps folks trapped in the lower levels.
Justified is our anger, and it bedevils
Our behavior. Are we in a spiral death dance?
Can forgiveness become a part of the forecast?
