So here’s the thing—
When it comes to LIFE
It’s always something
For example, we tend to think that something
Flies in from out of the blue, disrupting
Our lives, when deeper truth suggests that
Everything you and I experience—
Planned or unplanned—is an integral part of life
Because, whether we like it or not, life has
Two sides—which is why our choice of attitude
Matters as much as the size of our stash of
Logical problem-solving techniques whenever
Leadership is in need of coping well with an angst provoking
Situation by maintaining a well balanced sense of
Mental clarity while others are screaming the sky is falling
Needless to say, today’s train of thought is
Based upon my need to cope well with not knowing
What’s changing inside my frontal lobe, and though
I feel as if something flew in from out of the blue
It’s highly possible that the unwelcome presence of
Physiological changes may have been brewing for
Quite some time before daily headaches (which may or
May not be related) began to drum up
My conscious level of concern—either way
Here’s how I want to spend most of my time (unless
I’m enjoying my kids and grandkids): I want to relate
As many insight-laden stories as possible in hopes of
Inspiring you to grow ever more aware of need to
Make less mistakes in judgment than was true of me when
My decisions were based in unidentified insecurities denied by
The conscious portion of my mind as mine until
Hindsight, pairing up with my power of intuitive thought
Began to ignite flashes of insight that spotlighted
Forgotten memories, which once restored, created
Bigger pictures to which I’d been blind when
My mindsets had been too narrow (due to
Egocentricity) to see where my personal perspective had
Been in need of expansion so as to brighten
My spirit’s awareness of opportunity knocking at
My front door in hopes of enticing my dark side to
Experience sound reason to lighten up my limited capacity to
See myself as worthy of accepting love as freely as
I’d generously passed it around—In short
Upon setting out on this storytelling adventure, several
Years back, I'd had no conscious intention of devoting
So much of my time online to philosophizing as to why
Love and life tend to grow so classically complex—
In fact, my perceptions concerning
The effects of positive vs negative focus evolved
Resultant of freeing my intuitive powers (by way of
Writing) to speak through me as if I had become
‘The unexpected something that flew into
Your life from out of the blue’ so as to offer you
Flashes of insight that may serve to ignite
Your intuitive powers to illuminate sound reason to
Challenge your processor to identity your narrow points of
View, which, upon expansion, will heighten your
Patience with your vulnerabilities, and with patience
Intact, your think tank will seriously consider the wisdom
Inherent in absorbing positively focused solution seeking
Methods that resolve conflicts with intelligence and
Kindness thus creating positive changes in your
Perception concerning the betterment of
Your self worth resulting in improving your sense of
Self respect, which serves to expand your heart’s
Capacity to love and respect others, vulnerabilities and all—and
Once compassion provides for mutual respect, all around
Your personal and professional relationships will improve as
Have mine, based in your heartfelt capacity to feel more worthy of
Love, admiration and respect than had felt possible when
Judgmental attitudes had limited love from flowing
Freely, back and forth —and knowing that changes concerning
Self image prove challenging, I continue to muster
The patience necessary to retrain my mind’s eye to
Reconsider, reprioritize snd reprocess the validity of
My long range goals, one of which shifts my myopic
Focus less upon my goodness more upon the importance of
My self respectful, guilt free happiness, and now that
Today’s train of intuitive thought has spoken clearly to me
I hope to motivate the philosopher (who, having taken up
Permanent residence inside my head, tends to usurp
Control over my think tank) to stop hogging center stage, so
We can welcome back the storyteller whose eagerness to
Offer up strings of insight in an enjoyable format will
Surely entice my friends to naturally absorb love lessons, which
Served to improve my relationships immeasurably—and
Though that has been my intention, all along, each time
One thing or another flies in from out of the blue, I find
My thought processor swept into a Dr. Seuss tale as was
True of the children we met in THE CAT IN THE HAT, who
Did little more than sit on stools awaiting their mother’s
Return until The Cool Cat walked in their front door with
Opportunity in hand as though to introduce
The world at large to the natural invasion of
Mayhem personified as —Thing One and Thing Two ...
(When Barry and Steven were small, I’d felt need to hide
THE CAT IN THE HAT from time to time or lose my mind—
That's how much my boys loved Seuss’s tale of a top hatted cat
Tossing mayhem around as if it’s a salad nourishing
The active minds of a pair of well behaved children—I mean
My boys begged me to read that singsong storybook (rejected
By publishers 26 times) at bedtime EVERY SINGLE NIGHT as if
THEY 'knew' that Dr. Seuss was offering parents and and small fry
Sound reason to accept this fact of life: Real life is is not always about
Following black and white rules of social decorum—in fact
Life is meant to be silly, messy, shocking, hysterical, sublime and
In the end, all's well that cleans up well—and now that
I get the technicolored methodology behind Suess's
GREEN EGGS AND HAM madness—you'll never
See me feeling need to save my sanity by hiding
THE CAT IN THE HAT from the free spirited
Imaginations of the younger generation, ever again!
As to freeing my story teller to reclaim
Center stage for longer than a day or two—let’s remember that
Change takes time, so with that thought in mind, let’s plug
Our think tanks into positive focus and hope for the best!
