have you heard them? the speakers? there are too many to count and yet few have been successful in their quest they have come to us in every age on every continent walked and spoke amongst every culture the echo of their words are found in great books ancient writings sadly, their meaning distorted lost listen and you can hear their echo of compassion service cooperation the speakers our teachers imparting wisdom on how to live together serve humanity and the world is anyone listening?
Your point of power is in the present moment.”
The Speakers
It's silly, really
the way I scribbled
the words on my wrist
in permanent black marker
"Does this really matter?" it asks
"Nope," comes my reply
yet, all day
everyday
my mind wanders off
into dark corners,
whining, whimpering
"Woe is me!"
a quick flash of my wrist
and the light comes on
stay focused on
what really matters!
what matters is simple
right here, right now
this moment
if you don't like
the present moment
change it,
if you can,
or practice the
art of acceptance
the land beneath her feet shifted
life has taken a dramatic turn
endings and new beginnings,
long in the coming,
bookend her fate
and so, she too will shift
allowing what will flow to flow
no longer resisting
simply allowing
life to be
