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

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

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

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

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

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

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
