A poem I wrote about mindfulness, letting go of fear, living open & large or living life safe inside the box. Great happiness & peace to you!
Outside the Box Looking In
- It’s where I’ve always been
- Never knowing what is going to happen next
- You’re the same
- You just don’t know it
- The only difference
- I’m not afraid any more
- I realize I don’t have control over life’s unexpected plans for me
- I know and it’s okay
- I’m ready for whatever comes next
You’re in the box
- Feeling sorry for me
- Think I don’t have direction
- You’re the only one with goals & dreams
- Think the plans you are making are happening
- In your schedule
- On your timeline
- It’s all under your control
Disappointed
- When life knocks on your door
- Surprises you with a trick up its sleeve
- An unexpected factor not in your plan
- Disappointment when it doesn’t fit in your box
- Disease
- Loss
- Accident
- Poverty
- Death of someone you love
Surprise when it brings you great joy
- Windfall cash
- Better job
- Love
- New car
- Better circumstances
You say I’m a dreamer
- Talking about Mindfulness
- Living each moment
- Seeing endless possibiities
- Working in many directions
- Seeing where life takes me
- Going with the flow
When You say I’m an artist
- I’m flexible always trying things
- You say it like it’s a bad thing
- Are you a little jealous
- Do you wonder what
- It would be like to not
- Fit in the box
- To live life so
LARGE
- That it doesn’t fit inside a box?
- Endless Possibilities exist for you too.
- It’s okay to come out.
Just do it!
