About MacroMichael

I aim to promote mental health and philosophy that will help as many people as possible towards a better quality of life - including myself.

Realization

Things that we say may not mean much from one angle, but can mean everything from another.

When we express the weight of our world, it can become easier for others to understand, and we can also share strategies for coping. They can become apparent.

For those that don’t face similar situations, they can still find empathy from imagining the scenario, or they can ignore it altogether, or even develop resentment.

There are many angles and many personalities that we can encounter, and there is always a better way to make it through. It is either through fine tuning or complete overhaul.


As we trudge along
With all of the day
With all of the weight
And the things that we say
*
Hello me
I must say
I am feeling more than okay
Much more than okay
I would really like to keep it that way
*
Hello you
I can say
To me
You are much more than great 
Even more than great
I sure hope that you also feel that way
*
As we get along
With all of the day
We share views with what we say
With all of the weight
*
Hello everyone
What can I say?
Do not overpay for your day
We all hope and pray
That we will realize a better way


Into the Blue


I am under the weight of all time
But now
All time carries me along
like a twig in a stream
Or a cloud in the sky
Until I disappear into the blue
*
I am pinned by the times
Like a calendar to the wall
Like a billboard flashing
Or a private big screen
Box-office smashing
Through the years passing
Like the view
Through the window
of a soaring jet plane
To or from a holiday
Many memories stay
But the current moment on display
Is all I ever feel
in every other way
*
We should not have to wait for all time
But for all time
this watched pot won’t boil
and we need some steam
Give a shout to the sky
Hear our voices echo into vast clouds
*
We are plugged into time
Like a stereo to the wall
The picture is flashing
On our private big screens
Watched before crashing
Through weeknights passing
Like the view
Of our keen eyes
Attached to our warm brain
To or from the universe
Our experience stays
But the current moment on display
Is all we ever feel
in every other way
*
We are under the weight of all time
But now
All time carries us along
like thinking or a dream
Reach our goals to the sky
See our visions appear out of the blue


Singing or Yelling


Think about what we are saying
Let’s get it back on track
But now
We can not even tell
When we are doing well
How it’s going
And where we are at
*
Sometimes with preoccupation
Reactions get off track
Like now
We can not even tell
That was the opening bell
Now it is here
This is where we are at
*
We have to find what really matters
All of the time
*
Sometimes what matters most
is not on our mind
*
We do our best
For all of the rest
At least they should
Not have to guess
About our ideas
All of the time
Especially when
Feeling fine
Means being kind
To ourselves
*
It seems there are implications
Our care impacts the facts
Like now
They can not even tell
So we may have to yell
It is best here
When we can react
*
An exciting action
So we can relax


The picture shows a Stellar’s Jay in flight, taken yesterday. Their “singing” often sounds like yelling!

Our Whole Soul (Natural Attraction)


Nevermind the apprehension
Pay attention to our actions
It is hard to deny the fact
that we all want satisfaction
*
Some fight for more
Hard at the core
No matter
The barriers
or distractions
*
We all have goals
That drive our souls
Natural attraction
**
It is within comprehension
Keep intention in reactions
We can not ignore the impact
Of how current systems ration
*
Some might need more
Not at the store
It matters
Having fair deals
avoiding bad ones
*
Sharing our goals
Lightens our souls
Natural attraction
**
We are drawn to each other
Or repelled into battle
When we get it together
Our response is all that matters
**
Keep in mind to avoid tension
Have common sense in our actions
It is hard to deny the fact
that we all want satisfaction
*
Some tight with more
Even the score
We all matter
Some barely ever relax here
*
Reach for one goal
Find our whole soul
Natural attraction


A Heavy, Welcome Relax

Our ability to impact our own lives is determined by our frame of mind, our physical health and how we adapt. Mental snd physucal health determine our experience of wellness, and our quality of life.

If we can find ways to nurture these faculties, then we have a better experience in general. We feel better for ourselves and we can have a positive impact on our social network and environment.

I think that if we are diligent in our pursuit of wellness for ourselves, then, shared effort, hope and optimism will drive us to improvement and maintenance of our quality of life.


Now a heavy, welcome, relax.

Heat and Light


An August dream
A moonlit stream
Or daytime travel on wide sunbeams
*
Heat in the air
We must take care
To take time
on the path that we follow
The experiences that we have
Should be glad
and not sad
Warmth in life should fulfill us
Not make us feel hollow
*
It is up to us
To find the ways
To be strong on the journey
Learn to avoid worry
But the world coming at us
Could also be graceful
More clear and not confusing
or blurry
*
Summer vision
Not superstition
Or foolish battles and indecision
*
Change in the air
We stay aware
In hard times
we should not have to wallow
The tribulations that we have
We get through
We should laugh
Clarity should protect us
Not be hard to swallow
*
It is up to us
To find the ways
To be strong for the season
It helps to use reason
But the world coming at us
Can help us be grateful
With cheer and peace in truth
if we need some
*
Hot days and nights
Fire we fight
Our calm views matter with the
Heat and light


Versatile Single File

The picture zoomed in is a squirrel running down the cable line carrying lunch. 🙂


Versatile
We have a style
Work through hell
With a sure smile
*
The other moment
I thought that we had it made
but now we have to fight again
*
Moving forward
with our plans
Now we have to take a stand
*
Take an angle
Don’t leave us hanging
Have to know that we can manage
*
Confidence will take us a long way
Don’t take it the wrong way
Somehow
it will all work out
**
Single file
We face the wild
Get past hell
Intense not mild
*
The other moment
We had it made in the shade
Now we have to fight for the light again
*
Moving outwards
Vision spans
Only when we understand
*
See the angle
To help us manage
Here together on this planet
*
Confidence will take us a long way
Don’t take it the wrong way
Somehow
Some way
Every day
It should all work out


A Plan


Here’s a plan:
I keep writing and
Working

I am so sure of tomorrow
One day follows another

I get through life in a story
And yes it could be thunder
And put in a lyric
The spell that I am under

The irony is that it is written
Before today arrives

Transcendental mechanics
Like chemistry or genetics
Is mapped out with precision
But if that is not within our focus
Or our interest
It can mean nothing to us

Then it can be damage control if it becomes important to us

I must refocus and pay attention to what matters
In order to make progress towards my goals
Even when I think that I an right on target
I may need to expand my view
Possibly
Leave some subjects behind
And while moving towards new energies also engage with the current
Most necessary drive
For wellness and
That includes finding ways to encourage my own learning to maximize the mental and physical health of myself and those that I can impact

To improve life

Pretty in some words somewhere
But the real nitty gritty in other ways


Hoping for the egg plant to do well.

One Takes Us Beyond All


Smouldering dreams
as I wake up
The clouds are lit
Streaming down from the morning sky
*
The source of the fire
at the center of it all
Our belief
The vision
The sun rises fast before it falls
Then rises again
So purely unstoppable
With energy we lead
We also have a steady glow
Hand over hand
We live our life
Shining greater than them all
*
Everything gleams
The days light up
A perfect fit?
Beaming down into our mind’s eye
*
Beyond the new tide
We find new worlds and that’s not all
Our belief
More vision
Like waves rising fast before they fall
Then rising again
So surely on top of all
With energy we lead
We also have an even flow
Hand in hand
We live our life
Riding fate fast with them all


Unusual

Sometimes, I wonder what Is normal. Then I realize that it depends on the angle.


Noticing an unusual situation
We start to recognize
just what is going on
*
It can not all be wrong
But some of it is out there
*
Seeming strange
Way past normal
My mind engages
Contents rearranging
*
Words apprehensive
Soon caught up in emotion
*
They could be offensive
If taken the wrong way
But a part of it we need
to survive
For progress
It can also please us
All of life
Will flow best
If we can believe it
*
The unknown feels right at home
Thick-skinned we stay in the zone
We work our days down to the bone
Sometimes it will make sense
Sometimes it won’t
Life is unusual
like we have always known
