Moving On From The Past

Staring At Time

When you feel chronic strong negative emotion
About something you’re nurturing a flawed premise –
And untruth – a big lie. Your inner being knows
All about you. Nothing is left in the shadows
And it loves you. Now what could be better than this?
Worthiness is a self-reassuring notion.

If you’re not happy with yourself for not being
Able to connect with yourself, your awareness
Of the feeling of emptiness keeps you apart
From all that you hold sacred and dear to your heart.
If it’s the past that’s causing you all the distress
Then you need a much different way of seeing.

Moving On From The Past means you’re moving toward
Something better – not away from something that’s bad.
Your awareness of what is keeps you in a place
Where you’re ornery and have a frown on your face
Constantly and no one wants to be your comrade.
The cost to your consciousness you cannot afford.

If it feels horrible to go there, Let It Go!
If it’s messing with your now and what’s coming next
Then you have to decide which is better for you.
Shift your focus to something positive and new.
Let the past go and give it its proper respects.
The releasing of baggage will help you to grow.

Taking In The Wonder

My foundation does not start with this body or
With my parents or anything. It is the whole
Of who I am. With eagerness I came into
This contrast and variety. My life is new
And exciting. I have no particular goal.
Everything about this world I came to explore.

A thought that thrills me is one worth my pursuing,
And one that disappoints me is one that is not.
There’s no way I can feel unworthy of the bliss.
My feelings are my guidance. I’m glad I know this.
What I’m thinking and feeling does matter a lot.
I find fulfillment in whatever I’m doing.

I do not want to behave ‘appropriately’
By accepting the notion that life is supposed
To be hard and that suffering is a virtue.
Pardon me, world, but that is not my point of view.
‘Socialized’ people have hearts and minds that are closed
To the idea of living resistance free.

It’s easy to calibrate to ‘what is,’ but it
Takes a master to calibrate to what is not
Yet apparent. It does take determination,
Focus, and clarity. I am here to have fun.
I try to remember what most people forgot.
Everything I learn must be to my benefit.
