A clothes dryer, spinning a mass of garments around so quickly as to
Create a sense of disorganization inside my brain, suggesting why
My think tank remains resistant to discerning one experience from another until
Readiness to write a clarified account of each happening is mine, so
Rather than taxing my brain's temporarily disconnection to clarity
I'll post a train of thought that I plan to send to Brett, now that
David has moved his 'Little Brother" (whose freshman year of
College classes commenced this week) into his dorm ...
Brett, our whole family Is happily wishing you well as
Your college adventure begins
Last week, you and I discussed Helen Keller, who believed:
Life is either a great adventure or else it is nothing ...
Today, while reflecting over our discussion, I hope that
Upon falling asleep, tonight, your processor will intuitively absorb
The string of insights that make up this next train of thought:
You have a heart fueled with love, and hearts fueled with love
Inspire life's great adventure to sweep our spirits toward
Drawing forth a host of inner strengths, which
Functioning together as a well-balanced whole, serve to
Inspire fear of failure to succumb to strong spirited, heartfelt
Bursts of self confidence so as to intertwine our intuitive powers with
Flashes of emotional intelligence, which, like rubbing two sticks together
Ignite a spotlight that illuminates strings of insight, which inspire
Our sense of adventure to reach for the stars by mustering the courage to
Fully embrace readiness to take one leap of faith after another in hopes of
Achieving our most fervent long-range goals, and if
Love of life, education and people encourages each of us to
Enjoy an awe-inspiring adventure that sweeps us
Off our feet then rather than plodding from one stage to
The next safely tethered solely to logical thought
I envision your processor growing ever more self aware of
Your innate connection to creativity, which will deepen
Your strong spirited sense of self worth each time you imagine
Your wingspan expanding so as o see yourself flying beyond fear as
You soar from one unknown toward the next, and since each
Stage of life flies by in a flash, here's why I've come to believe that
It's prudent for the voice of educated experience to coach
Today's youth to envision themselves as future leaders of America by
Fully embracing this next insight, which highlights the human heart's
Boundless capacity to offer and receive love freely:
Each time we remind our minds to fly free of fear of rejection or
Failure we tend to love generously rather than defensively, and with
Generosity of spirit opening our minds, our eyes and our ears to
Every person's inner need to work with one another toward
Creating change for the better, we tend to make sound use of
Patience, humility, courage, compassion, humor and
Creativity with such consistency as to naturally strengthen
Our life long, positively focused connection to
Hopefulness concerning eventually attaining a host of
Long range goals to which our heartfelt desires soulfully aspire
And with thoughts of never giving up on achieving my personal goals
I remind myself to remember (most especially when
My heart feels heavy with personal loss) that sometimes everyone's
Life feels like a step by step journey that drags our spirits down until
My newly restructured, self empowered sense of wholeness remembers
To call forth my host of hard won inner strengths to buoy
My intuitive connection to creative thinking, yet again, and thus
Do I make sound use of imaginative trains of thought that soothe
My sadness away by making mince meat of yesteryear's
Darkly cloudy, latent fear of facing life's hardships all alone, and
Each time my processor consciously cuts those fears down to size
Dark clouds part to make way for my strength of spirit to brighten
My heartfelt sense of adventure with a renewed love of life, people and
Education, because that trinity frees my spirit to re-ignite
My smarts to conjure up a vision of myself ascending to just
The next rung on my very own existential ladder of success, which
Reaches heights in the sky above and beyond that which
My mind's eye can consciously conceive, and every time
I remember to focus forward while embracing my ability to
Create a sunlit future (rather than falling back toward fear of failure)
I garner the belief that with eyes, ears and minds open to need to create
Change for the better, you and I (like Gandhi and MLK) can rely upon
The best side of each other's nature whenever we (like Mother Teresa)
Need to feel newly inspired to muster the humility, patience and courage to
Peaceably confront the 'powers-that-be' as we connect with those
Good souls, whom we've never met and yet whose classic insights
Continue to encourage mankind to embrace this hopeful attitude (mantra):
Never-give-up-on-your-intuitive-heartfelt-connection-to —
Be-the-change-you-wish-for-the-world—and in this loving way will
You and I sincerely inspire ourselves, each other and countless others to
Realize our heartfelt dreams as our spirits supportively (rather than
Competitively) build a strong sense of communal strength, which
Serves to fortify each person's proactive connection to brotherhood by
Patiently accepting each other's vulnerabilities; by compassionately forgiving
Each other's transgressions and by kindly apologizing for
Mistaken perceptions so as to facilitate our choice to offer
One another the benefit of the doubt while we take turns expressing and
Absorbing the best of each other's most inspiring insights so as to
Gently encourage defensive reactions, which prove decisive, in
Time out so as to enhance the mental clarity that proves necessary at
Every stage of life if we are to ascend our ladders, rung by rung, by
Way of maintaining each one's existential focus upon
Progressing forward toward attaining one gold star at a time as
Your future and mine unfold, day by day ...
The fact that my son, David took his grown-up little brother to
College, this week inspired me to write this post, concerning
Passing insights from one generation to the next, and upon
Glancing back at today's post, I became consciously aware of
This fact: While penning this post. I actually accomplished
A long-range goal that makes me laugh at myself, because
I knew that some day my intuitive connection to creativity would
Find reason to string every one of those insights into
One run-on sentence, and much to my delight
Today proved to be that day!
As that's all I feel need to say, concerning
The self-empowerment that results each time
Love's spirit of generosity bonds with knowledge and
Creative thought processing, I can feel today's
Self confident train of intuitive thought pulling
My processor into a rest station, so I'll end by wishing
Brett (and all of you) the best that love of life has to offer!
I love you, Brett—and each time I ask for permission to
Fill your ear with strings of insight, which
I've asked each of my sons to seriously consider
I can't help but smile when you laugh and reply:
(Without rolling your eyes) Sure, Mom, I'm all ears😍
