This space I'm visiting should expand my search for a greater optimal, but upon arrival, every step seems to be a prickly obstacle.
Overlooking its emptiness, I wonder if the way it is will stay? Is it possible to encourage it towards a better way? Where is there life in this mess of stagnation? Where is the beauty in this vast location?
I look deeper and to my surprise, my surroundings stand extremely strong ... what a lively scene to be placed in this very time. How could I have walked this far without introspection?
My eyes are opened to the exchange between nature and life's coincidence ... the chance that my body is experiencing somewhere so alive and real.
My senses could have never existed, yet they allow me to experience what’s in front of me. The body in my own control, how fun it will be to discover its potential.
I've returned to the city and can't get my mind out of wondering ... how long had I been without cultivation, were my senses misled? It seems impossible to have adapted to that empty land, its contents so distantly learned and mysterious.
I'm left with more curiosity. But there's one thing I learned, an alternate way to live.
My perception has forever changed, my lifestyle moving forward will use resources grown by nature’s exchange.
Our repeated routines, ultimately the same results. How many days pass by doing the same things without thinking about how to do them? Why don’t we feel better about something so easy, but complain when it gets harder?
Let’s use our senses for just this moment ... look past the traffic in front of us, see through any disruptive facade. When was the last time we waited in peace? Will our mind ever allow uneasy thoughts to cease?
Occupied to get to where we need to be, yet we haven't put sense to what we leave behind. Careful where we step, as we lead all those who follow.
Do we follow the image of society’s picture-perfect? Or do we believe in our own painting of a perfect picture?
Consumption masking the fear of discovering unknown. Let’s take an alternative path now ... away from flaunting the next material thing we own.
