Sunshine on rocks, blue skies above.
Jumbled rocks, scrub bushes; a
Sprinkling of green.
Not the most appealing vista.
Even in all this starkness, there is a symmetry.
There is a balance; a
Raw and fierce completeness.
Every day of our lives is like this; there are blessings, and
There are flawed moments.
This is the nature of our existence on the planet.
In this universe, nothing is
Ever ‘perfect’, at least
Not to our finite sensibilities.
It is those sensibilities that we should take a long,
Hard look at.
Are they worthy of the power we
Give them over our lives?
Are they Worthy of the power we
Give them over our happiness and
Mental stability?
Do you even realize how much time and
Energy most people expend,
Dealing with what they
THINK other people feel about this or that?
In reality,
It is what YOU think about things,
That is very, VERY
Important.
It is true;
If you change the way YOU look at
Things, the
Things you look at will change as well.
Slow down, stop even;
Take stock of your notions about
How you think things SHOULD be, and
Why you think that.
I assure you, it is an
Evaluation that is well worth it.
I think you will find that what you
Thought was so very important,
Is really pretty far down the hierarchy.
Save yourself some
Time and energy;
Use yourself for what is
Truly important.
“Save your time”
