Every Morning

Start Of The Day

Separate you are never from where you come from
Which is spirit. You always have that connection
And because you are a spiritual being
You’re aware that your spirit is overseeing
Everything that you’re doing. It overlooks none
Of your actions. To its nature you can succumb.

When you’re running with nature, your morning routine
Need not be all that structured. Your day can begin
As it does usually but being aware
Of the day’s doing is a different affair.
It’s like taking your brand new car out for a spin.
Consciously you’re creating your driving machine.

Ceremony and ritual help to create
Mindfulness. In silence you can do as you please.
Simple things that you do at the start of your day
Can be done with emotion. It will pave the way
To a day most fulfilling with relative ease.
Take the time you need to get yourself feeling great.

Like a life review when the soul leaves the body,
You can have your own day review as it begins.
You intend things to go well. You want to be kind
To yourself and all others. You want peace of mind
At the day’s end and just as this lovely earth spins
Perfectly in its orbit, yourself you must be.

The Time Is Always Now

The Infinite Coupling Of Existence

The body is a cosmos with a cosmos.
It’s made up of some particles – none that are me.
I’m the space in-between all the physicalness.
I came into this stardust to grow. My progress
Is determined completely by how well I see
I am not who the body is nor even close.

Knowing what time it is when a challenge comes due
Is somewhat of an asset that I have right now
Which is happening always. My life and my plight
Are two separate entities. I do me right
When I come to my senses – the five that allow
The connection to spirit in all that is new.

There is only one moment. In it everything
That is happening changes, for now and always.
Life is meant to have challenges. It’s how we grow.
Satisfaction is futile. As long as I know
That it’s part of all drama, my character plays
Its best role as a novice yet up and coming.

“This time you’ve gone to far, God! No more can I take.”
It’s a comedy act that I’ve played in the past.
I will deal with each crisis life tosses my way
And rejoice in its coming. That way I will stay
In relief of the burden. No longer typecast
The perpetual loser, I am my fair shake.
