Thinking About Things 5/11/2023

Thinking about this
Thinking about that
The mind likes to
Wonder all over
Causing confusion
And mental chaos.

The mind thinks
It’s super power
Is traveling
Backward and forward
In time
Trying to change
Events that occurred
Or predicting something
That has not.

Mental movements
Of back and forth
Will do nothing but
Keep us chained
To past events
That can’t be changed
Causing anxiety
And worry
With something
That can’t occur.

So how do we control
All this thinking
And roaming about?

Focused concentration
Within a mindful state
Allows us to connect
To our inner
Super power
Of breathing deeply
Which moves into
A state of being.

Tis the stillness
In this space
That allows intuition
To be heard
As whispers.

Guiding us
In the direction needed
For us to achieve
Our Soul’s
Heart desire
To live in love.
