Anticipation

5/29/11

Studies show this is integral piece

for humans within updated 'happiness equation',

especially when 'experience' becomes targeted goal

instead of impulsively buying material things,

new car, phone, clothes, we assimilate

quickly turning familiar, but 'adventure' memories

of prior, during, after, live on,

replayed, embellished with vivid sensations returning

that still exalt emotionally vibrant spirit,

where 'love stories' prayed for rule,

these 'dream come true' occurrences enthuse

having us lean into future potential

when perceiving world as friendly place,

breathing freely, moving energy, trusting process,

encouraging indomitable 'soul' to greater heights,

everyone engaging power of self authorship

ably defining 'Life' in satisfying terms,

it's no wonder a 'visionless' society

mired in bleak prognosis has problems

with depressed, complacent, apathetic, hopeless citizenry

consumed by mantra of bad news

thinking things will worsen, not improve,

this is betraying our essential nature

as 'Evolution' forever depends on creative

channeled ideas received from 'Unknown Source'

sparking conscious anticipation of more goodness.
