A Beautiful Mess

It’s been a while

A Beautiful Mess 

a rainbow of experience 

equals life 

beginning with empty slate

we build blocks to

bring experience 

bring life 

and it’s a beautiful mess

to sit back and and observe 

the rise, the fall, the cycles of

existence 

to remain equanimous

stuff happens, stuff breaks, life hurts

this beautiful mess 

hands held forward 

offers gifts

little treasure if insight 

can become little treasures of light 

if we allow it

and this beautiful mess 

shakes us, breaks us, 

knocks us down

screams us to acknowledge 

the innate knowledge 

we all share …

spoon-fed information 

will never allow our own thought 

How will we ever resonate backwards to

the original mustard seed?

I am in love with this

Beautiful Mess

life is like a game we win,we lose but we don`t keep score ,we hurt,we heal we move to the next phase

We are at a cross roads > A melting pot > nothing apart from wars like this since the Industrialising stage with building trunk roads and rail roads

Aviation firms seeking aid (Mega millions of aid)
Certificates to say you are clear sent to your non existent smart phone

What will come out of the melt???????????????

loving kindness one hopes.

honestly I wasn't even thinking about this damn virus when writing this! :)

Loving kindness >> Yes we have learned that these last few weeks > Confined to home
We often take in parcels for neighbours who are out at work - Only one family has offered help

me too Elizabeth .. me too! ;) "if we allow it" strikes home for me .. and i also especially like:
" screams us to acknowledge
the innate knowledge
we all share …" ,,,and then you don't name it ... i love that! and the mustard seed ... and your simple closing statement that actually goes to the core of living with calm assurance ... glad you took time to visit and share your poetry ... miss you :)

We are born with the clean slate...but we fill it up, often with many mistakes which later we would like to take back. We want to take all the wisdom and information we have accumulated over our years, and start over, knowing now what we didn't know then.
But the bulb after so many hours of life, burns out.
We cannot replenish or relight it.
Life is a Beautiful Mess (love that oxymoron)---
and we are beautifully flawed humans...we need to accept that...know we aren't perfect but that we do the best we can.
