Ignore Reality The Right Way?

Oct16

Virtual Escape

There’s so much to ignore these days. It’s hard to find
Anything worth consuming. I’ve no appetite
For the horror and suffering. Sick I become
At the sight of it all. I must get away from
Any news that echoes the continuing plight
Of the evacuated soul of humankind.

So can I just ignore it all and find a place
That feels good and remain there? Can I feel my way
Around life and avoid its extreme bitterness?
It may seem that about life I couldn’t care less.
I simply don’t want my consciousness to decay.
I’m ashamed to be a part of the human race.

I can ignore it all long enough to get to
Where I need to be which is in tune with the whole
Of who I am then I am prepared to give my
Undivided attention to life. If I try
To engage things over which I have no control
There will be no effectiveness in what I do.

When I’m tuned in, tapped in, and turned on I’m aligned
With the whole of who I am. I see everything
With more clarity. I create reality
And within it I can be the best I can be.
I can give attention to what makes my heart sing
And be thankful for any contentment I find.

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.
