THE MIND VS. THE HEART
“Do it this way, do it now!”
Says the mind, really really loud.
“Go with the flow, enjoy the ride”
Says the heart, quietly inside.
“I know the way! I know what’s right!”
Says the mind, all through the night.
“Rest now, listen to your dreams.”
Says the heart, over the mind’s screams.
The mind gets pissed and draws its jewel encrusted sword.
The heart just smiles and sits on the floor.
The mind is confused, “Don’t you want to fight?”
“I don’t have time for that,” says the heart, “I am listening to the light.”
MOVING FORWARD
you can feel quite blind
groping around in the dark
the beginning of a new adventure
not knowing how to start
your friends seem like strangers
your life feels a farce
your main emotion is fear
guidance seems sparse
step by step you travel
not knowing when it ends
unable to marvel, at what is around you
knowing your journey depends
on so much, out of your control
that you think you will scream
you just keep moving forward
until you reach the stream
of inspiration
that you have waited for
you walk a couple more steps
until you reach a door
you take the knob within your hand
and turn it to the right
press it slowly open
and then you feel the light
you have reached your destination
unsure how you did
realizing moving forward
is the only way to live
WE ARE
We are a piece
of infinite things.
One blade of grass,
one color of a rainbow,
one leaf on a tree
after winter has passed.
We are a part
of all that is.
Our eyes reflect galaxies,
Stars upon stars.
The depth of the ocean
is but the length of our arms.
Our cells are from asteroids,
our skin is but grains of sand,
the whole universe is
on the palm of our hand.
