Acting From A Broader Perspective

Vantage Point

What it’s like to be human is what we all share.
No matter what we look like or how we behave,
Each and everyone of us is a part of God.
Is this notion blasphemous? Let’s lose the façade
Of complete separation. The soul to be saved
Is the one who does not want to become aware.

The body has its limits. There are boundaries
Regarding its performance. The mind, however,
Can think any thought it wants. It is limitless.
Through our thinking we have unlimited access
To the highest of wisdom. In your endeavor
To think uplifting thoughts, you find comfort and ease.

You don’t have to be Mother Teresa to see
Divineness in all people. We each have a heart.
We all know what it feels like to hurt deep inside
And we know happiness. It cannot be denied
To the ‘least’ of us. Each one of us is a part
Of the whole and the essence of divinity.

Look into who you’re looking at and let them know
That you care what they think about and how they feel.
We each have an observer – the small voice within.
From a broader perspective the heart will begin
To see past form and get to the part that is real.
In this way then spiritually you will grow.

A Programmed Life

The Nature Of Balance

Is a lightning flash bad because it only lives
But for just a brief moment compared to the sun
Which goes on for some eons? This question absurd
Illustrates programmed error. The damage incurred
Is to not see that both are contingently one.
Can it be that self-consciousness rarely forgives?

Long lived creatures and short lived belong to the same
World with flowering branches that naturally
Have enormous life spans. Encouraged behavior
Of nature is spontaneous and is most pure
In the ways it expresses its strong will To Be,
And in doing so it has no feelings of shame.

Self-possessed or a dithering personal mess
And embarrassed because of rigid programing,
It’s a rush just to get home for dinner on time.
Traffic accidents are cause by this mental crime.
To schedules quite impossible some people cling
Punctuality fetishes amount to stress.

Time is not of the essence. Hell or high water
Is an innocently uttered lethal cliché.
Take the time to know balance and true clarity.
When the student is ready it’s easy to see
The lessons of the teacher and the proper way
To behave among others as all would prefer.
