Infinite chaos
You can’t avoid it
We may get used to it
Sometimes a calm angle
creates peace
as if the chaos never existed…
*
but difficult events trigger a response
and then we admit to
random challenging situations that are sometimes extreme
*
It is good if we can just observe the chaos rather than get
wrapped in it, drained
and eaten up by it
*
We do fall for that stuff though
like we take a step
and make the most obvious move in time
and we are caught in that moment
unintentionally
yet with seeming precision
like it was meant to be done by clockwork
Those looking on
and ourselves
climb into a new frame of mind accordingly
An expansion of time
We have to feel alright
suspended in the current position
*
To get here
beyond coincidence and intricate designs
our life has happened how it has
and details line up in ways
that add meaning
sometimes where it is not warranted
but troubling
Otherwise
sometimes it makes sense
We transcend
find greater utility
and come out ahead
*
Perceived emergency situations
ripple in our lives
tied to the explosive
contractive
ridiculously elastic
looming shadow
that finds us
battle-bombarded
We are submersed
Then to our surprise
from below the surface
we rise up to find peace
and break through shining
*
The pleasurable points
appear as bright spots in the chaos
So then embrace our comprehension
of this state
understand trouble at a distance
recognize some views are bleak
empty and meaningless
while some perspectives
are much more divine
Find that our quest for joy is valid
faith is not exaggerated
and we can discover
sustainable nourishment for our souls
when we consider many angles
*
We can be unaware
We always miss lots
Somewhere else in our world
*
or we can be too aware
focused on something too much
like in the news
or too self-conscious
neglecting feelings
causing harm
I would say
Try to feel good
Follow life
and stay alert to all that will help
Shutdown input that just seems
to hurt
*
Then we can find
trust in life that promotes joy
as we stay on guard for a bad path that is
oblivious to well-being
where we are not connected
that could lead us to
Some awful chaos
if we do not stay careful
*
We create tough times
or perpetuate them
if we do not stay in the moment
but then again
if we take care
it can all work out
Some days much more than others
*
Trying to pay attention
to creating wellness
for ourselves and all connections
Sometimes our perception
can be blown out of proportion either by ourselves or others
It is too much
It is not enough
Is it literal material ?
especially when there is
misunderstanding
due to unexpected
correlations or connections in meaning
or lack of
such that it is
difficult to pick out the valuable truth
from the chaos and intricate complexity
*
The intricate complexity of our experience
in it’s raw beauty
follows us though all of our life
available to inspire
within thought at all times
when not obscured by the infinite chaos
and many time sensitive demands of life
