Distinct changes in the day

Connect to events

Along the current way

And everything we say

*

Sometimes we can take it in our stride

Sometimes it just blows our mind

*

I’m still standing

I’m okay

Connect to every raindrop

And each sun ray

And every game we play

*

Whether we seek change

or try to hide

Events bring new frames of mind

**

Distinct stages of the night

Connect to events

Within the current light

And everything’s alright

*

Sometimes we seem to have it made

When our day’s fears start to fade

*

I’m wide awake

Feeling fine

Connect to each star above

And all of time

And to all that’s on my mind

*

A new stage aligns

I contemplate

Events create

A new design today

**

At this stage of the game

We try to find better times

Whether or not

We feel okay

or feel totally fine

or feel better than ever

And with peace of mind

When we’re

Planning an outstanding future

We get there with patience and climb

Gratitude can be the name of the game

It can change all of time

**

We’re in the mood

Take us to the next level

Gratitude helps us rise

Like water in a kettle

Steam billowing

Raindrops collect on a petal

*

Our world is like metal

Shaping our days

A kind mission

helps us to settle

Our attitude in good ways

We rise to a better level

In all that we do

If we work with the current

We will make it through

**

Distinct ranges in our years

Connect to events

Spinning current gears

And everything that’s near

*

Sometimes we just go with the flow

Sometimes work is all that we know

*

I am good to go

That’s quite clear

Connect to a vast machine

And face my fears

Embrace each joy

Living here

*

If just out of range

Help the signal grow

Events connect

New engines glow

*

Sometimes we can take it all in our stride

Sometimes events will soothe our mind

***

Beyond the clouds

Can I have a moment of peace?

It’s the triple whammies

that just won’t cease

I guess three times is lucky

And three’s a charm

It could be a strike out

Not quite a five alarm

*

When I wake up

I have a whole new view

As waves roll in

The day stays true

A breath is the best thing

The sky’s always blue

**

Clobbered again

Can I have a good moment that lasts?

It’s the triple attacks

that won’t let me relax

I guess some things come in threes

And three’s the max

It could turn into a crowd

Get out the five-star tracks

*

When I get down

I have a whole new view

As waves roll in

Energy stays true

A deep breath is the best thing

Peace comes into view

**

A number is like science

Even or odd

With mixed defiance

But a number

Just like one pure need

Can be like a fine art too

*

I wish there was no violence

And with fair rules:

Total compliance 

I can’t stay in silence

Superstition

And geometry

can be so misconstrued

**

A triangle has strength

Not a star by any length

But the parts build an alliance

Into a brilliant power

A pure.view

*

When we break it down

Or when we get into it

Stars are far

But the sky’s the limit

And the ground and Earth

Become our sure truth

*

Don’t let our hope fade

Keep our faith in it

Follow numbers and words

That help our world soothe

**

Not a broken record

Please no more moments to skip

It’s the triple big hits

that are giving me fits

I guess three can be holy

And three’s not a myth

Crank the volume three times as loud

I’m not taking the fifth

*

When I am on the level

I have a whole new view

As waves roll in

My days stay true

A breath is the best thing

And when feelings improve

***

It’s cool

I found you first

Then you wanted my attention

*

It’s true

We are immersed

In every new dimension

*

With no apprehension

I say, “We will always be okay”

Because we make it through together

And we find the better way

*

It’s new

But it’s rehearsed

It’s something that you mentioned

**

Love we have

All this time

Is worth the world

Stays yours and mine

We will never fall behind

Because we don’t cross the line

*

We work to be less harming

Not normally alarming

Striving to be purely charming

Even tough days become disarming

**

Your move

It’s your turn first

I can’t help but pay attention

*

It’s true

The crowd has dispersed

And the room has a new dimension

*

With no apprehension

I say, “We will always be okay”

Because we make it through together

And we find the better way

*

It’s new

And it’s unearthed

Our foundation

Did I mention?

**

Love we have

All this time

Is worth the world

Stays yours and mine

We are together by design

We are two souls that combine

 *

We work to be aware

Not easily fooled or scared

Striving to make it a fair world

Tough days turn out fine because we’re sharing

**

You are smooth

I chose you first

I’m paying close attention

*

It’s true

There is nothing worse

Then entering tough dimensions

*

With no apprehension

I say, “We will always be okay”

Because we make it through together

And we find the better way

*

It’s always new

Like a cloudburst

A fresh rain

Releases tension

**

Love we have

All this time

Is worth the world

Stays yours and mine

Together we always stay so fine

Whether rain pours down or bright sun shines

***

Flustered?

We must have

brought it on ourselves

The decision

To be who we are

in a cliquey world

*

I had no idea

We would be treated so unfairly

I use all of my best sense

Just trying to fit in

*

They can’t see

the history

that defines me

The clouds are just too dense

They will never know

unless we find the time

**

Busted?

We must have

been caught being ourselves

Take the chance we have

To be who we are

in a tricky world

*

I had no idea

That they would be so uncaring

I use all of my best sense

Just trying to help us

*

Some can’t believe

the history

that we need to see

The sun is way too intense

They will never know

unless we make the time

**

Will we get the time of day

Or will we be ignored?

Will we ever find the way

Or will they pull the cord?

*

Will we electrify them?

Is this circuit a dead short?

Will our plans work together

Will we connect to find support?

**

Rust and dust

With one wind gust

Will forever blow away

*

For lust they fuss

But with love we must

Find progress to save the day

**

Trusted?

We must have

taught it to ourselves

Find faith in health

To be who we are

in a sickly world

*

I had no idea

Their greed would be so overbearing

I use all of my best sense

Just trying to reach out

*

Some can’t conceive

From history

We can achieve peace

The world sits on the fence

They will never know

Unless we save the time

***

Topic4: *Communication*

Information transfer or exchange between two or more individuals.

I.e. Message is expressed, delivered and received.

Interpretation and reply?

Functional?

*

We have different levels of skill and ability to send and receive information.

Communication achieves intended goals when we’re understood as we would like to be.

**

We have varying ability to express, receive, understand and reply to succeed at communication.

We depend on the medium every day:

Public speaking

Performance

Art

Science

Small talk

Chat with friends

Written word

Print v. online

Interactive or not

Functionality depends on ability, medium and goals.

**

Goals.

What do we hope to accomplish with communication?

This can be an individual goal or a mutual goal.

We may be looking for understanding.

We may be looking for agreement and/or action, like a response.

Communication can seem successful from one perspective but not from another.

**

We may choose a medium but not have the ability to communicate effectively due to lack of skill in expressing and/or because the intended receiver has poor comprehension and/or the medium is too challenging.

Successful communication also comes from setting realistic goals for action or understanding.

**

In consideration of goals, it’s necessary to plan boundaries:  We don’t want to limit expression, but we should highly prioritise collective health and wellness in our consideration, for the benefit of ourselves and others.

Communication should maintain or improve quality of life.

**

If the goal of communication is to relay an accurate message, it’s useful to be as clear and defining as possible,

but remember more effort may be needed

such as repetition and reinforcement.

Some may have a hard time to comprehend & retain a message.

Others may have trouble expressing.

**

When urgency weighs in, boundaries may go out the window.

Some people have limited ability to control expression in urgency while others may not know how to react.

People may feel an urgent need to communicate, but others don’t see the reason for urgency and/or there is no good mutual reason.

8/

If we agree to communicate

it becomes easier.

We observe boundaries and find ways to share understanding.

One key boundary is established

but often crossed:

Don’t be harmful.

Communication can be harmful due to

* Intentional breach of duty

* Influence of social conventions

* Misunderstanding

* Accident

**

How to prepare to avoid harm

for ourselves and all others:

Look into it.

Take steps.

Always communicate to help;

A natural expectation

but if we reach out to consider all affected, it has a likelihood of creating more wellness, a better place to live and better communication moving forward.

Another day

I won’t ever change

I am who I am

I might be strange

But I’m caring

And I’m loving

With common sense

in my brains

*

The new day breaks

We all make mistakes

But every time

I put on the brakes

*

On a busy path

I see what’s above me

For health and wellness

Please just shove me

**

Another cold night

I don’t have to fight

But I am who I am

I might be light

But I am sturdy

And I’m worthy

With a sixth sense I hold tight

*

The fair moon rises

The stars advise us

And each time

The world is wiser

*

In a busy sky

I see what’s above me

For health and wellness

Please just love me

**

If I am in the way

Blocking night or day

It’s perfectly okay to say

“Get the Hell out of the way”

You can even push me

Hard across the sky

I won’t change

Though I may seem strange

Telling you the reasons why

Eventually I get to the peak

And I speak

Before I hide behind the world again

I see what’s above me

For health and wellness

Please just love me

**

Another day

I won’t ever change

I am who I am

I might be strange

But I am caring

And I’m loving

With common sense

Avoiding pain

*

The new day is brave

For good life we crave

Take the time

To hear us

rant and rave

*

On this cliff

I see what’s above me

For health and wellness

Please just shove me

***

All day

I am thinking

Like it or not

Imagination

Keeps me

Way deep in thought

*

But watch my reflexes

In my actions

My lucid gestures

Are getting traction

*

All the nerves are

Lightening fast

Like a machine driven

An engine blast

Digging deep into my mind

Triggers tweak and gears align

**

This time of day

I think about quite a lot

Imagination

Keeps me

So deep in thought

*

I have a calm balance

Of my emotions

With clear efforts of

Complete devotion

*

All of time is

Flying past

Like grey clouds rolling

While blue skies last

Flowing deep into my mind

Free energy

Comes from Spirit sky

**

Thinking of the moment

Built strong by the past

Thinking of the moment

The future gets here fast

*

If I seem to get lost in thought

Take a look again, I’m not

I’m way ahead of the game

The one that you made famous

I learned it yesterday

Tomorrow is so blameless

Today we give it all we’ve got

Just give it our best shot

**

Always

I am thinking

And I’m getting hot

Imagination

Keeps me

Deeper in thought

*

Just watch the results

Of my intention

Improving life

Is a fine obsession

*

All the fire

Gets higher with a blast

The charge of yesterday

Will be surpassed

Raging deep inside my mind

The wild world

And my brain combined

**

This is just a thought

Give it all we’ve got

*

Thinking of the moment

Built strong by the past

Thinking of the moment

The future gets here fast

*

Fire deep inside our mind

Present time

Imagination climbs and

Good thoughts can always last

***

Topic3: *Love*

In the hearts of many, love can be the most important thing in the world.

Is it?

In what definition?

*

It seems that the common idea of love is key to some of the very most important and enduring relationships in our life,

potentially giving us friendship, romance and joy.

**

There are different definitions of love.

This is mine:

Love: a powerful, often intense, binding feeling that we develop for someone or something that we are attracted to and want to share time with or at least have wishes of wellness for.

To me, well-wishes are essential to love.

**

My definition seems functional, boiled down to possible longing to spend time together and essential well-wishes.

To me intensity separates love from liking, where love involves more commitment to goals of sharing time and ensuring wellness, whereas ‘liking’ involves less dedication.

**

The distinction where desire to spend time together isn’t essential to love

but wishes for wellness are, seems clear. I.e. We can love all life and wish the best but not necessarily want to be with all life. Love in this sense reflects intense caring even in the absence of compatibility.

**

For me inclusion vitalizes this equation; Love should include general well-wishes for all.

Is Love the most important thing in the world?

That’s totally a perspective;

It seems likely that the more love and care there is to reduce harm and disdain, the better we will function together.

**

Functionality and Love?

To me, they go hand in hand.

Love involves caring, nurturing and protecting.

It can lead to cooperation, collaboration and joy. All the products of love and actions in love can help create a better quality of life. What could be more functional than that?

**

Sure love can go bad and hurt

in the sense of romantic love especially or in any loss of love or in unrequited love

but at least in the definition I maintain, general well-wishes and the powerful benefits should far outweigh the tough moments.

Love unites people more than it divides.

**

Heartbreak is awful but it is arguably better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.

The benefits of uniting so people live, work and achieve together, have joy together, logically helps in a direction to develop a better quality of life for everyone and everything.

**

To me, if love is the key to improving quality of life in the world, which it very well could be, then it is the most important thing in the world.

Love is about caring, inclusion, patience and affection.

If we love each other, we are working together for a better world.  ☮️&♥️

***

Topic2: *Belief*

Belief is our everything, how we understand and embrace it.

Does belief rule our world?

How do we change belief?

*

Our senses and logic bring us belief.  Genetics and physical constitution must contribute, but still, belief seems to be mainly a mental production.

**

Belief seems largely driven by our perception of the environment and our social learning.

*

We build beliefs by perceiving our universe, learning from our own studies and those of others.

*

We may built trust in a belief based on trust of our senses, our environment & our teachers.

**

How we interpret our senses and experience, our reason, also directly builds and supports our beliefs.

*

For each person each of these is without question different:

•life experience

•sense of reason

•location

•brain

•sensory organs

*

Naturally our beliefs are different.

**

 We face each day with a belief system that may or may not conflict with others around us.

How do we navigate this?

I often suspend disbelief (but still react to safety risks).

I remain agnostic about a subject to avoid conflict while I analyze data and to function socially.

**

Does belief rule our world?

Most of our actions occur because we are acting on our beliefs.

Seems obvious that we should be careful what we believe.

*

We learn what to believe.

Is it more important to learn how to believe?

Emphasis on verifying our senses & checking our reason?

**

We may form a belief and take care doing so but

What if some new contradictory evidence arrives?

and maybe the evidence is suggestive but not convincing.

How do we change belief?

We must be fully convinced in a new belief & reject the old belief, otherwise we are left uncertain.

**

In our life, we are often left uncertain, yet are still required to develop a belief regardless of the possibly confusing and changing data.

This is when society, especially our closest contacts and the media entities we follow, can really influence us.

Note: Verify our sources.

**

Beliefs can form from conscious decision, such as induction and inference, based on (perhaps inconclusive) evidence that’s also influenced by social suggestion and pressure.

Social influence like modern media can cause a decision to believe that isn’t totally conclusive.

Be careful.

**

Ultimately, belief changes with mounting evidence.

At a point, logical deduction concludes without question that new belief is true

because there appears to be no way it could be otherwise.

*

We are always learning;

Evidence drives belief;

Our senses & social input also determine belief.

***

Topic1: *Spirit*

Spirit has a powerful meaning in humanity, yet it is sometimes treated as nonsense or taken for granted.

Is it tangible?

In what definition?

*

To begin with: Can anyone deny that there is a connection that runs through everything?

It is everything.

There is a whole.

**

Sure, our consciousness seems to typically stick with our immediate environment and life experience, but in some sense we are connected to the farthest reaches of the universe or any multiverse for that matter.

We are one

to the best of my understanding 

with every possibility.

Everything.

**

How does spirit tie into all this?

Looking now,

I think spirit takes energy of the whole: a shared consciousness that connects forms or beings across environment, time and space. Tangibility depends on the individual circumstances; There are changing possibilities and perspectives.

**

I wanted to point out that different perspectives can confirm or deny spirit.

*

Some claim to know the absolute.

I might say that sometimes, there may be no such thing.

It’s about perspective right?

What we know is absolute?

Our brain is limited

But it has an angle all its own.

**

Paradox? 

Multiple experiences

opposing

overlapping

conflicting or existing in a moment when we’re either oblivious to other perspectives

or unable to humanly comprehend their existence

Yet I can clearly still be affected by something or someone even if it’s outside my paradigm.

**

Running with my definition of spirit as “connection” it becomes nonsense to people when they’re disconnected like if there’s limited tangibility.

Constantly running through different perspectives, different paradigms and comprehension-cancelling paradox,

some will never recognize spirit.

**

The fact is, spirit exists for some people and is not recognized by others.

*

It seems very tangible to me in specific instances when reality reaches out as in synchronicity.

*

I very often find a general presence like a good mood and attitude to connect to the wellness-driven whole.

**

So, for my definition, Spirit, in one sense as an apparently transcendental connection to our world and universe can be observable and influence mood.

This is tangible to me, but may not be to others.

I believe in it.  I don’t expect others to

but I may convince them if we talk.

**

Spirituality and science?

*

The world is full of other perspectives, possibilities and paradox.

What is the truth?

Spirit for now is an absolutely recognizable idea in our world.

Just as science but not as tangible or defined and therefore, not as practical.

*

We are always learning.
