Anything You Wanna Do 7/14/2024

You can do anything
You wanna do
By the choices you make
Tis the power of free will
That was given to us
To be co-creators
Of our life. 

Do you listen to your heart
Or your brain?
When deciding about life. 

We may think
By following thoughts
Our brain will lead
Us to happiness
As some stories
Tell us
Until
You’ve achieved
What your thoughts wanted.

Unfortunately
You still feel
Empty
Deep inside
So how does one know
How to make wise choices? 

Tis something
One must learn
To include listening
To the heart
As well.

 Tis the heart speaks
As a quietness
And gentleness
That’s often dismissed
As boredom. 

For the active brain
And ego self
Likes to be in control
Of the narrative
Without help from
Anything else.

One must find
The inner sanctuary
Within the heart
Where stillness resides
Then listen intently
Listen mindfully
For the guidance
From God
Communicated
Through feelings
And emotions
In our life.
