If, how, when, where, and why
Do you meditate?
Do you have a tendency to hesitate?

Does becoming still
Feel like you’re sitting backward
On an upward hill?

Perhaps it’s uncomfortable
To think
Of what might spill

Out of the mind
For you to look at
The millionth time

Trying to create a shrine
Of peace
Isn’t easy
Unless you
Allow it to be

It’s all about
What you give your attention to
What will you let consume you?

Will it be negativity
And the attachments
Made by your personality?

Or will it be
Beyond what the mind can perceive?

A vastness deeply
Known by both
You and Me
But only if we tap into it directly

And what does this mean exactly?
There are many gateways
To this possibility

Gratitude
Seemly simple
If we recall
How to be grateful
For it all

Love, light, and focusing on what’s Right
Is a sure way
To pave The Way
To an Intelligence
That guides you
Day by day

Discernment
Yet another tool
Directing us to the Truth
Where we were once fools

Simply consider
The life you want to create
And be mindful of the action you take

Bring awareness to the heart-space
And question the intellect
If it’s fear-based

We are in this together
One thought at a time
Changing our foundation
To go beyond the mind
