The Magic Of Focus

Arial Target

When you’re in the middle of events, actions, and
Conversations you’re already too far along
The path to make big changes so be satisfied
With the here and now. You alone get to decide
Where to focus. Your power to do so is strong.
By focus consciousness is able to expand.

There’s a vibration that’s either in alignment
With who you really are or it isn’t so you
Must decide which it is and do something about
Your vibration if you have some lingering doubt
Of the infinite power that you’ve access to.
You achieve what you want through your conscious intent.

This vibration that’s at the root of everything
That you’re living is going to grow and evolve
Into something that you can fully recognize
As a manifestation. As you realize
What you can do then any problem you can solve.
Be delighted by what your vibration can bring.

“Hokus Pokus… Now Focus,” mom says to her young
As she gets them ready to get on the airplane.
You can look at life this way because it’s magic
When you focus. At this you cannot shake a stick
But a magic wand only. There’s so much to gain
When the song of your intimate focus is sung.

Speak What You Love

Elegant Joy

I love being alive. I love knowing the laws
Of the universe. I love going with the flow.
I love knowing how this all works. I love knowing
What I know and I love knowing where I’m going.
Bless my soul for this opportunity to grow.
I’m no longer so plagued by the way that I was.

I love knowing that I have an inner being
Who’s looking at everything and feeling delight
About all that takes place. Evil it doesn’t see.
This being who is the eternal part of me
Sees my life and my future as sunny and bright.
I endeavor to see the way it is seeing.

I love knowing that sometimes I’ll get out of whack
And it’s not such an issue because I can get
Back in harmony with my internal rampage.
The wellbeing is dominant. So why engage
With the thinking that I know that I will regret?
It takes just some fine tuning to get back on track.

I want everyone to be joyful. I want there
To be cooperation among humankind.
I know that it’s not my responsibility
To help others discover their reason to be.
Everyone deserves wellbeing and peace of mind.
I love that by my choice I become more aware.

Keeping Tradition Alive

An Effort Of Endurance

Cost of Being increases are not to be paid
To traditional artisans of India.
Expensive raw materials increase in price.
They’re lucky to break even, yet they sacrifice
Time and effort preserving ancient media.
Artifacts from this fort town are craftily made.

Molten metals are used and lots of chiseling.
The process calls for patience, for months it can take
To produce just one item. Focus and detail
Are the skills necessary. All at their avail
Are quaint tools and equipment, and for culture’s sake,
They offer to the world an aesthetic wellspring.

Melted pieces of copper and zinc fill the mold
That is packed using body weight with dirt and sand.
After buffing and polishing, bathing is done
In a sulfate solution. Each and every one
Has a signature color. They then etch by hand
Captivating designs for the world to behold.

  Wire is tapped into carved grooves. The rare soil they use
Comes only from the city of Bali. Therefore,
There’s a special uniqueness to art from this place.
Gig economies prosper but at a slow pace
In these times become urgent with unending war.
What can help such a market that’s destined to lose?
