2014
This morning, I read yesterday's post to Will
Being a guy, his response was
Spare, to the point and sincere:
Annie, that was so deep ...
Deep, lengthy and well written
It was so deep and lengthy
I think few minds wll follow your train of thought from
Beginning to end without drifting away into
Thoughts of their own, again and again
My reaction?
I know that, Will
Recently, I try not to write posts that prove as
Lengthy as those written in the past unless
My mind moves into a story telling mode
Though its true that many readers may not tune into
Such lengthy trains of thought, I've decided to
Free my stream of consciousness to breathe with ease thus
Making sure that I don't miss even one subliminal insight, which
Feeling ready to emerge from somewhere deep inside my mind
Palpates its way through my entire being until
Letter by letter, words shape up as though my sixth sense is
Creating a particular insight that flows through
My blood stream into my finger tips, each of which
Hits a key on my keyboard until
Lo and behold another piece of my puzzle appears on my screen
And in this way, while writing each post, I learn more
Than I knew before about what I think and feel at my core where
Societal 'shoulds' cannot separate my conscious awareness from
That which my spirit aches to experience free of undeserved guilt
Well, that makes sense as long as you know you may lose readers …
Will, I'm aware of losing readers, all the time
If that's a consequence of remaining true to my process
I'll continue to bite that bullet for this reason:
While teaching at the college, I came to see that
Within each class of 40 participants, perhaps
10 left each session feeling fully motivated to
Work at challenging themselves in hopes of
Creating realistic changes for the better, all around
So if over time, I lose 3/4 of my readers while
My blog serves to inspire change for the better in
1/4 of those whose think tanks choose to dive deep then
Here's why those numbers will work for me:
As long as my readership goes up, down and up, repeatedly
Then, over time, birds of a feather will
Continue to find my website and flock together, so
As long as I stay true to my mission to spark
A world wide, grass roots movement, based in
The teachings of Socrates, then with
Time, patience and hopefully, added skill in editing
This flock will continue to expand and take wing, and
As long as insights like these offer me foresight
To assuage my natural sense of impatience
These next thoughts remain in the forefront of my mind:
Historically, grassroots movements can take
Decades before long range goals are fulfilled
Knowing this movement is in its infancy
I consciously choose to be ant, who moved rubber tree
Sure footed turtle rather than hare and here's why
I do not need to be around to see my mission succeed
It's this drive to adventure toward a long range goal that
Stirs the juices of my energy force, thus
Offering my spirit reason to awaken fully motivated to
Thrive while feeling inspired to
Write whatever intuition pours freely out of my mind
One look at our world suggests that
The hearts and minds of others grow as
Confused and conflicted as mine
Knowing that to be true, I ponder deeply over issues that
Cause life and love to grow classically complex until
Common sense suggests reconsidering conflicts until
Insight into a plan of action emerges, which eventually
Creates peace of mind, all around
As for now, it's time to get ready to see
An upbeat movie with dear friends before enjoying
A BBQ culminating in a celebration of
Fireworks commemorating liberation on the
Roof-deck at our cousin's house, sooo ...
Here's my last thought before
Sending today's heartfelt insights into cyberspace
I hope you, too, are looking forward to enjoying
A high spirited, firecracker kind of day with
Family and friends whose presence nurtures your heart!
