Looking for a Key
We live in self-made prisons
half asleep
conditioned by our habits
repeated desires and beliefs
using our five senses
to try to make sense
of what is happening
and what is not happening.
At times is seems senseless
doing the same patterns, same dance
same sufferings, same rewards
life at times calls for
an upgrade of awareness
an upgrade of compassion
both inwardly and outwardly-
upgrading our letting go
of what no longer works
what no longer brings
that newness
and a dawning joy.
Like nature we are always
changing, with the seasons
with each moment
with each interaction
with each struggle
with each victory –
standing alive
connected to the eternal
even if blindly
in the here and now.

some times all you can do is throw up your hands and lament: "this isn't the right time and place for me". just because you see the light doesn't mean you're ready to own it. I like to think they let me out of prison for good behavior but I am still on parole. And very defensive. I just get embarrassed if it gets too obvious ....

Thank you for your great poem Charlie it signs the strenght of the heart. It is really very important to grow the own perception and being able to switch it, widen it. In the same way as one takes up new clothing every day. Our perception is always in comparison interaction with nature. So we can easy see once our internal state is cooperating in a bigger network that we would always wish to choose. Empathy is a huge motor to expand the consciousness. Also curiosity remains a necessary tool to reach new states and patterns of thinking. Being full filled with the own movement and courage to evolve is what makes happy for a long period of time.
