HOLY JUMPIN' SASSAFRASS!
I awoke with so many puzzlements
Vying for space inside my head as to make me
Wonder where in tarnation today's stream of
Intuitive thought plans to take me, next?
In fact with so many questions, concerning
Life, love and irretrievable loss
Bouncing like jumping beans
Inside my head, you'd think that certain
Questions, which no one can answer might
Step aside instead of cutting to the front of
The line, because only those souls
Who have already transitioned from
Our world to the next can send their spirits on
An empathetic mission to whisper words
Based in experiential wisdom into ears, which
Have chosen to turn up the volume on intuitive thought—
Not to worry—I'm not suddenly seeing myself as
Psychic (or psycho)—I'm simply in need of
Busying my brain so that grave thoughts of
Grief struck, irretrievable loss do not catalyze
A Vaso-Vagas reaction so as to slow my pulse
Causing a drop in my blood pressure thus
Depriving my brain of oxygen, leading to
A reeling sense of light-headedness that sends
My think tank spinning like a top, which
Upon losing momentumaints dead away ... Well, look at that!
Did you see the stealth with which that trio of
Dreaded words snuck into
My conscious awareness without stirring
Any sense of latent anxiety, which lies in wait to
Pounce upon my need of personal safely so
Bitingly as to sever my adult processor's
Connection to logic the moment that
Yesteryear's still potent fear squeezes itself
Through a crack in my defense system's
Wall of denial? And if you ask how such
A miraculous change for the better could have
Happened overnight, I'd reply:
Intuitive thought, knowing my human
Vulnerabilities, chose to enlist two of
My personal strengths (creativity and
Humor) to brainstorm with intelligence until my
Brain, functioning as a well balanced whole
Figured out how best to tame an uprising of
Childhood's unnamed anxiety by injecting
A healthy state of mind into today's
Natural stream of emotionality in order to
Reassure my spirit and visceral reaction that
My self disciplined sense of solution-seeking
Logic remains intact, suggesting that
My adult connection to today's proactive
Consciously remodeled, positively focused
Brain structure will continue to feel
Sensitized to subconscious need to recharge
My inner sense of balance by re-energizing
My host of inner strengths in such a timely
Fashion as to refortify my intuitive
Determination to dominate yesteryear's
Primary (buried-alive) fear, which left to roam
Anxiously on its own would surely have
Tied the loops of my brain into tight knots of
Tension that might have demanded
Days of inner struggle before straightening
My think tank out ... Whew!
Though practice may not make perfect
Each time I feel need to review complex
Functions of the human brain, which, left
To work independent of each other are directly
Opposed to problem solving as a well organized
Team, I make certain not to free an uprising of
Latent fear, which left to its own devices would
Create a sense of inner divisiveness, thus serving to
Complicate today's natural output of emotional
Reactivity with inner conflict that would likely
Drive my think tank half way toward feeling insane
And as driving myself toward insanity is not
Natural to my nature, you've watched
My re-strengthened connection to sanity grasping
A firmer hold onto the steering wheel of
My life raft, thus assuring my inner compass's
Sense of clarity that with intuitive thought at
The helm, my brain is not about to release
Today's reactive sense of PTSD to push me over a cliff
Where naught but another terror-struck ride through
Childhood's rapids awaits to toss my adult sense of balance
To and fro, and having regrounded my sense of wholeness
In readiness to steady myself to greet another sad day with
The stability to empathetically separate the pain of
Loved ones from my own, that's all I feel need to say
Suggestive of the fact that, yet again, tuning into
Intuitive thought has offered me the insight to
Spotlight exactly where today's stream of intelligent
Thought felt need to direct my next steps to go in order to
Take this leap of faith over the cliff, thus over
Yesteryear's rapids S o as to land, if not yet on
The sunny side of the street, at least upon
An angle of self soothed inner repose, where having
Taken good care of my inner life, my soulfully
Refueled spirit may more readily soothe the reactivity of
Loved ones, whose heavy hearts, feel so great a sense of
Personal loss as to have need to lean upon my restructured
Adult strengths for awhile though, not forever ...
And so, though today's post began with my conscious mind
Feeling need to exclaim: HOLY JUMPING SASSAFRASS!
We come to see why our intuitive powers repeatedly
Coax our innate sense of courage to converse with
Uprisings of latent fears so as to choose to raise
Our glasses (and consciousness) in communal
Celebration of life while, at the same time, feeling
Personally challenged to satisfy the human spirit's
Soulful need to reconnect with a host of inner strengths
So as to fully resusciate our inner sense of joy, concerning
Our good fortune to create change for the better by stoking
Our conscious think tanks with intuitive insights that
Inspire darkened attitudes to brightly refocus our
Inner spotlights toward freely embracing
Life and love more wholly than ever before!
L'chaim!
