I will think only good thoughts
Effective immediately
I will not worry about
what I can not control
I will give it my best shot
correct the path repeatedly
until I have not one doubt
and confidence takes hold
*
I will take only good actions
Objective achievements
I will not hurry around
I just get on a roll
I will get better traction
Collective believing
So thrilled with what we have found
Now we all share one goal
**
We will create only good thoughts
Effective immediately
We can not worry about
Having total control
We will be in the best spot
Expect nothing completely free
We still learn much more about
How every day unfolds
*
We will condone only good actions
Objective achievements
We will not hurry the crowd
Success is young or old
Our mistakes are a fraction
Select kind beliefs now
Until reason becomes loud
Intentions good as gold
*
Good thoughts and good actions
lead to confidence and results
As our goals unfold
with decisions that we make
As our soul grows old
with the lessons that we take
We start to have a sense of
when it is safe to vent
to help others learn
what our experience has meant
It is not always all our fault
for forced mistakes
for what we think or do
but when we focus on plans
to have better days
It helps to get us through
*
Good thoughts and good actions
and consideration for results
Some goals can’t be sold
And are impossible to fake
Some souls are so bold
and do it all for goodness sake
It seems, they have a sense of
when time is better spent
to help themselves earn
more experience as a friend
It doesn’t always come to a halt
or have such high stakes
for what we think or do
but when we all take a stand
to have better ways
It helps to get us through

It feels like it is going to rain
but it doesn’t rain
There has to be a good reason
to want to complain oh yes
The ground is thirsty
for it’s bountiful harvest
We are on the level
We are on target
There is no exclusion
to what we’ve known hardly
I just started helping out
in the garden
and then it rained
*
And I feel the rain
I have felt the rain
Did you feel the rain
take away the pain?
Let it rain
Let it rain
*
It feels like the sun is gong to shine
and then it shines
Now forever has me thinking
and it blows my mind, oh my
A student gets back
from teacher, a gold-star test
We are on the level
The sun sets in the West
We reach a conclusion
to what we’ve known hardly
Still sunlight continues
to grow the garden
and we need rain
*
And I know the rain
I have met the rain
Did you feel the rain
make you more sane?
Let it rain
Let it rain
*
Let it shine
So we are fine
until we feel alright
and can’t complain
*
Let it shine today
The sun
high up in the sky
at least most of the time
And then tomorrow rain
Tomorrow, rain
*
It sometimes feels like it will never rain
Then it starts to rain
There has to be a good reason
to always explain oh yah
Right now is hungry
and the time that we start best
We are on the level
We care for the rest
We find the solution
to what we’ve known hardly
The rain and sun are keys to the garden
*
Tomorrow
We are hoping for
more sun again
Not everyone would like exactly the same
but no doubt
when there is a drought
All of us
are holding out
We all start praying
for tomorrow rain
Let it rain
Let it rain
Tomorrow, rain

We achieve our dreams in moments
Live our days
in the quickest
blink of open eyes
Our time is constantly changing
Effort pays
Perfect timing helps out to get us by
*
We are here then gone in moments
Our best days
are a wicked
storm until we die
Our time is constantly raging
Good luck paid
with a rainy spell
Now it’s warm and dry
*
Take in the moment
Give out good vibes
We only slow down
For peace in life
Like a river’s current
we are all enduring
We get faster yet stay calm
In this way nothing goes wrong
For all of our life
*
We can’t feel bad for too long
We find a change in the weather
Our days can always get better
*
We perceive beliefs in moments
Shape our days
The real trick is
knowing what is wise
Our time is constantly wasting
Patience pays
We should not rush health
but still act fast and try

Lots going on as usual. Amazing really.

Poem here about how a tough challenge can jump into our plans, such as something rough from the media, or something irritating in our day to day that we have to either deal with or look past, but that we may dwell on for a time. Still, with courage, patience and decisiveness we can get back to achieving, perceiving and feeling peace in our day.

Just a picture of some meditation…

Full Cup

Intrusion of an entity
into my vital hours
Just a thought has such a weight and
driving, wrecking-ball powers
Sometimes I can choose not to think about it
Sometimes I can’t get it off my mind
Sometimes it invades most of my days
it simply does not care about time
**
Our views are always meant to be
aiming up high for now here
Any shot from situations
can echo very loud here
Sometimes I can choose not to listen to it
Sometimes I can’t even stop hearing
Sometimes it will
play out for many good days
It does’t pay to be too fearing
**
Is something bothering you?
*
It’s nothing new
Just a chunk of time that I feel blue
*
Anxious thoughts can be forgot
We will get through
That’s what we do
*
Leave behind hard feelings
with no clue
feelings you wish
that you never knew
*
Think about when time goes well
Think about then
without any Hell
Think about now, be calm, keep it balanced
Think about how to manage each challenge
**
Illusions fade fast when I see
past mountains and high towers
Truth is taught to beat back flames like intense and pure rain showers
Sometimes I can
choose not to feel them at all
Sometimes I can’t fight back tall blazes
Sometimes they will stay for all of my day
To warmth and light, our full cup raises

When I have some spare time
I will write a book
I will travel the world
I will bite on the hook
*
I will take any chance
for our love and romance
We will reach for the stars
and break into a dance
*
Swivel and turn
Move our limbs and bones to the time
Snap or just clap
Shake our hips, in the zone
Feel sublime
Faces appear
as our eyes rise and climb
Glances connect
for steady moments meeting
Mind and bodies ride the waves here
The new mood is now fully prime
^
When I have some spare time
I will have a look
I will go everywhere
with the groove that we took
*
I will take any chance
so our love is enhanced
We don’t have to go far
to find this strong advance
*
Teach and then learn
Use all that we know for our time
Talk or just laugh
Move our lips, keep our tones
in full chime
Faces show cheer
as new lights shine so bright
Plans will connect
for ready moments deepened
Mind and actions feel the warmth here
This new view has reason and rhyme
*
All of the time
Do away with haste and waste and crime
Still be able to move as fast
and then turn on a dime
Get right past gross danger and grime
Move as slow as a snail
but without the slime
Depends what we choose
but it should be our design
Whatever we want
that helps us get past
When the days are long
and the work is vast
Try to imagine and then find
a world that is kind
When I have some spare time

The news just broke today
You should have received it
Can you believe it?
You know that it has to be okay
*
The truth shows up this way
We have to perceive it
Then we believe it
It can only work out this one way
*
Views that we know will stay
Then new times relieve them
Beliefs start changing
We should never let them go astray
*
Believe in the truth
Better if we have some proof
Fake news and lies
should just not be used
Get past them with logic
and the good things that we do
*
Good things that we say
Honest words and brave
Well thought-out
for good days and health
Then we can ride the wave
*
Good news just broke today
We must achieve it
If we can believe it
We know that it will work out some way
Somehow things will be fine
Our world turns out okay

Words here.

Coming from thoughts.

That is how it goes.

I hope that you are having a good day. This poem is partly about being misunderstood. For example: Not having your story told can lead to everyday stigma because people sometimes make inaccurate judgments about behaviour and reasons for behaviour when background and context are not known. This can have an impact because misunderstandings lead to chain reactions such as reactive behaviours. This can happen to just about anyone (but some more than others).

I completed this poem this morning . It is also about finding the most powerful truth. It is partly how we frame it. If we handle things well we may find better ways to cope, heal and expand joy.

Thoughts

Just can’t escape
I can’t explain how it looks
because I can’t speak up
and I can’t change that
It has to change on it’s own
*
Yet if I take on this tone
then we can make a break
when we get on the same page
*
Sometimes the truth is not known
because the belief was mistaken
as we are reading or acting
we are often impacting
*
People follow this chain reaction
and make more mistakes
based on assumptions
and the perception of
perhaps an initial illusion
Words or images obscuring
subject matter that manifests a more relevant and developed meaning
beyond the superficial impression that we may be witnessing when stigma corrupts
*
Either side of this perspective
can lead the observer
a person
to have rage or disgust or sorrow
based on something that was never known
because we can’t know something
that is not a fact
We can believe it
but that could be off track
We should take a step back
*
Negative aspects of this life can fade
or never have existed anyway
A better reality may now become tangible
While even an illusion has weight
distorted or bent
when we know what was meant
and the actual intent
we can find a much better way
to both work and play
Comprehension stays
becoming
absolutely as clear as day
*
The vision through the glass
is all that we ever see
We can believe that we are free
and then when we breathe
the steam makes it seem
like we are in a dream
*
As we peer through the window
the fog starts to rise
so now when we look
we can see life clearly
because we are confident
that’s how it is appearing
and we understand
We have a solid plan
or at least quite nearly
as it comes together
we are comfortable in the moment
*
We are objective now
In the world our mind spans
Our body is always dealing
with the sky, sea and land
machines that move
and structures that stand
It is a powerful feeling
Balance and strength are appealing
When our strategy is grand
We are coping and healing
Take life by the hand
Pray joy will expand
like sunshine or light
every view has a slant
every thought that we plant
Can become the real thing

Busy busy…. Demolished a structure, staining the deck, new garden construction after previous wood beds/retaining wall removed and hill excavated into new shape. Full time in 40 hour job. Research, other hours…. Etcetera.

Meanwhile, we just had company for almost 3 weeks. The first visit was a while ago.

The second set of visitors was my two sons. Great visit. Some golf… Saw the new Spider-Man 👍🏻👍🏻
Dinners, barbecue…. A few bear sitings…

The other day I opened the door to go to work and one of our many local black bears was looking at me. This is a really bad picture, but you can see the black shadow heading back into the trees. The bear ate at least four of our corn cobs. We thought that it had been deer, but I caught him or her pretty much red – handed/ pawed…

Poem is on different topics.

Bright Light Glowing

When I am certain
I am not hurting
I can feel comfortable in my own skin
*
This is my version
I am alerting
I feel sure that everyone is fine knowing
*
If it gets worse than
time past and current
I make sure that new solutions are flowing
*
Words that we heard once
we are averting
We feel much better
with a new light showing
*
The morning sun
or the light from the moon and stars
The sunshine when beams
burst through the afternoon clouds
from so far
Way high up in the sky
or low on the horizon
Up on the room’s ceiling
or from phones and screens
that we have our eyes on
Light shines to us
and gives us new angles
of all of these views
that we untangle
so many have to be true
That is what we have to manage
Some perspectives are acute
We have it all handled
*
I am immersed in
each new excursion
I feel excited that my life is growing
*
For what it’s worth here
Each thought disperses
but to only one cause
and with no pause
We are truly
without question devoted
In pure religious awe
yet with scientific laws
From our highest branches
Deep roots must go down
*
The center of our world is
where we break the curses
We feel fresh with each new start
going slow now
+
When I am certain
I am not hurting
I feel that it is so important
how we carry on
And also, how we begin
each new mission
and how each day
has a new
bright light glowing

They may be amazed
that we have good days
We make it happen
We succeed
*
We have earned great praise
in more than one way
We make it happen
We compete
*
We have more to say
much more to explain
and now it happens
Honestly
*
Our spirit is brave
truly uncontained
Time needs to happen
We are free
**
The future may reward our
best consideration and effort
In current times we release
our vital energy
*
Things that we can not get past
sometimes we can blast
with care and attention to restore
our current times completely
and
totally
fairly
**
They may be amazed
that we have good days
We make it happen
We succeed
*
We have earned great praise
in more than one way
We make it happen
We compete
*
We have more to say
much more to explain
and now it happens
Honestly
*
Our spirit is raised
body, mind and brains
Our whole life happens
When we believe

I need to focus on
what matters most
and go slow
when it is the time to go slow
*
Depending on the situation
we may go faster and start racing
All of life requires pacing
Too fast and we may not last far past
and then we crash and burn
*
Other times
we feel alright
work it out and hit the heights
and have such a better life
taking time to be elated
*
Our focus can be so intense
any way it is concentrated
What matters most should make more sense
but it does not have to be too calculated
**
We need to focus on
what matters most
start to know
all that we are designed to know
*
Extending to each situation
we must master our concentration
All of life requires grace and
move past if we have to blast and smash
Instead just laugh and learn
*
In these times
we find the light
have no doubt and make it right
We make a much better life
Better than anticipated
*
Our focus can be so intense
any way that it is created
What matters most should not be dense
It should be
so much more highly elevated
We can make a better life
Better than anticipated
