A reading by a 'Mull local' at closing of world's smallest theater.

Stay Focused

8/27/11

It's easy to get ahead of oneself

using mind as movie projector for future

that anticipates, tied to desires and needs

with urgency, wanting full realization happening now,

so present moment suffers from the longing,

certainly this isn't bad to be dreamer

for excitement and joy follow any fruition,

and interplay of possibilities can provide direction

by visiting conjured scenarios with curious eye

while feeling into vibrancy or dread attached

whenever potential destiny choice is chewed upon,

listening near silent voice of Source whispering

as paraded images become a theater production

filled by characters envisioned who admirably play,

dance, vocalize their part in grand scheme,

where my Soul sits as producer, director,

following Guidance that's true only to me,

this takes acute attention coupled with awareness

which is life practice in 'presence' everyday,

each second conscious of society's great distractions,

any number of pleasures marketing their wares

even as past incompletions challenge vital progress,

creating tense environment between 'before and after'

challenging my ability to navigate what's new,

original virgin reality coming to meet me,

only wholly lived if I stay focused.
