Choosing Your Experience

AI-generated image based on Wisdom & Rhyme…

We consume this and that
To prevent us from feeling
The emotions that often leave us reeling

But what’s really happening
Is the mind-body is asking us for healing

It’s too hard to be seen
Or so it seems
The layers deep and complex
With no known index

We turn to reading, eating, or watching a screen
Rather than listening, breathing, and simply Being

But there’s nothing simple about Being
At least at first
The things we have ignored
Are knocking at our door

Our shadow work is saying, “hello”
And we are responding with, “oh hell no”

But what if “hello” was a friendly request
An offer for us to become more curious

If we choose this perspective
Absolutely anything can happen next
Otherwise, we already know what to expect


Old patterns seem easy and feel comfortable too
They give us a feeling like we already know what to do
But that false sense of security
Denies our inner truth

If our experience is determined
By what we choose to do
Are you choosing your experience
Or is it choosing you?
