Insights 357

Real insights

Are as elusive as

They are rare

The other day I had a breakthrough

Very clear and brand-new

Lumps and chunks are hard to digest

So chew & chew but don't get obsessed

Something else I just realized

That breathing deep will harmonize

My thoughts & acts with my emotions

And slow and focus all my motions

Learning is easy but wisdom is rare

Question everything & always compare

Real insights

Are as elusive as

They are rare

Day 28,495

Unexpective 356

The unexpected

Lurks gleefully

In every instant

The same old thing keeps coming up

Sudden-death or just a broken cup

I stumble around in my last days

In the same old self-deluded hays

Life has never been this good

Because I never understood

It's not what happens that makes the day

But how I react and what I say

So from now on I'll pay attention

And give up all my apprehension

The unexpected

Lurks gleefully

In every instant

day 28,494

Familiar 355

Lost in the

Familiar

One more day

Same old way

Winter is here

Springtime is near

Then summer again

I don't know when

It will come to an end

So be of good cheer

Laugh while you're here

You will soon disappear

Lost in the

Familiar

day 28,493

Good fortune 354

Don't get in

The way of

Your good fortune

Every day there's many a chance

Our present and future for us to enhance

All that we do can be done in a way

That displays & enhances our talents all day

Are we building a future or just making

More past

It's all a delusion there's nothing that lasts

But still while we're here

We can live with good cheer

Don't get in

The way of

Your good fortune

day 28,492

Form 353

Master your

Form

When you're young there's plenty time

To write a book or spin a great rhyme

But rhyming and writing is just not enough

You gotta come up with really good stuff

Read and travel write a lot

Once in a while you'l hit the right spot

The same with what ever else you do

Study,read,practice and review

Get so good they can't ignore you

And soon a following will start to accrue

Master your

Form

day 28,491

Resolve 352

Intention

Resolve

Circumstances

Outcomes

I plan and plan and think all day

But then there's just more delay

There's always so much I have to do

So I make excuses & don't follow through

Someday soon I'll take a stand

I'll charge ahead to the promised land

The road is bumpy and unknown

I will face these challenges alone

Then one day my plan will bloom

And then my studies I will resume

Intention

Resolve

Circumstances

Outcomes

Birthright 351

Mind Control

Is not our

Birthright

Play and cry running shout

That's what childhoods all about

But soon they teach us lots of stuff

Reading and writing but that's not enough

The greatest lesson we can learn

How to calm our minds when they churn

To except that which we cannot alter

Then change the rest and do not falter

Be kind and loving live in grace

Study learn and keep up the pace

Mind Control

Is not our

Birthright

Work around 350

Work

Arounds for

A dying brain

Put things back where they belong

Or search around and feel for-longed 

Always have a pen at hand

Write it down as soon as you can

Eat good food and exercise

Take a sauna and read the wise

Dance,sing and be with others

Treat everyone like sisters or brothers

Work

Arounds for

A dying brain

day 28,488

Behavioural 349

Predetermined

Behavioural

Directives 

Survival and procreation

Are hardwired into the population

Quite a lot are kind and generous

Once in a while cruel and venomous

Then there's very few 

That come up with what's new

Carnegie, Edison, Ford and Bill Gates

Changed how everything operates

And then there's the rest of us folks

Just hard-working regular blokes

Predetermined

Behavioural

Directives

Activity 348

Does this

Activity

Lead me to where

I want to be

No is the answer most of the time

All I do is sit and rhyme

Today I'll make a great bold list

Of all the things that I have missed

And one by one I'll cross them off

Then someday soon I'll sit and scoffed

At all the wasted time I spent

I'll learn from it without lament

Oh what great things I'll achieve

Or just one more chance to self deceive

Does this

Activity

Lead me to where

I want to be

day 28,486

Curiosity. 347

Create a

Raging

Curiosity

I used to think that I could know

But now I know it was just a show

Read and study think and plan

do it for your whole lifespan span

And when your old you may realize

That few among us are ever wise

The wisest thing that they can bestow

You will never know what you don't know

Create a

Raging

Curiosity

day 28,485

Can't 346

You can't

Or you won't

I always said

Before I get dead

I would make a hefty mark

So soon I will be eighty

And there ain't nothing weighty

It's all been a walk in the park

Still I keep learning

And the yearning keeps churning

I know very soon it will be dark

But what a great trip it is it has been

If I get lucky I'll leave with a grin

As I think how it's been a great lark

You can't

Or you won't

day 28,484

To close 345

I'm standing too close

This shit ain't personal

(Universal unfolding)

My shoulder hurts my feet are swollen

I got toe fungus and a iffie colon

North Korea has been shooting missiles

The dog came home with lots of thistles

Life is better than has ever been

Garden greens and eggs from our hen

Electric, heat and indoor plumbing

Coffee, wine and the checks keep coming

I'll stand way back and watch the show

Be kind, gentle and stay in the flow

I'm standing too close

This shit ain't personal

(Universal unfolding)

day 28,483

Road back 344 cc

We are all

Walking the short

Road back to

Nowhere

The first time I was dead

I had no troubles in my head

For reasons all unknown

I came into a zone

Of noise,light and feeling

That left me scared and reeling

It only took me 80 years

To put an end to most of my fears

Now soon I'll be dead again

What a great life it has been

We are all

Walking the short 

Road back to

Nowhere

Broke 335

You're born broke you die broke

Everything else is just fluctuation

Making money is no big deal

Study think and plan don't steal

Squirrel some away

For the next rainy day

Then spend your time learning

Give up on the yearning

Breath chew and stay slim

Go swimming at the gym

Be grateful kind and gentle

Our body is only a rental

You're born broke you die broke

Everything else is just fluctuation
