karma

Whether you believe in Karma or not

Life has a way of shaping itself

As you see and feel it

in your mind

in your heart

Choosing now

to simply be

and accept all there is

releases the struggle within.

Nothing out there can hurt you

only the inability to understand the bigger picture

that makes you experience pain

and creates all struggle

Karma is a name for pattern in motion

It's just a label

Don't worry about its stories

Just feel what is right for you

and let go of that which no longer fits you

Simply be..

And feel you're way through it

You are your own guidance.

Trust that.

Trust your self.

That's all there is.

instead

Instead of having to live a life

of pretense

of performing

of needing anything

Instead.

I like to run my own time

Be my own man

Be my own woman.

Instead

I like to serenade the night skies

watch possums fly overhead

and be still again. And wonder.

Instead.

Of eating a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich

I will drink a green smoothie

Instead of sadness I'll have joy.

Instead of required compliance

I'll have enough to go on

No people no noise

No crowd no talks

I'll be just me.

Instead.
