Who Owns the Day

Who Owns the Day? Awake carelessly; No connection to the internal dialogue. Floating, a gentle space of minutes. I wonder, how do I join the day? Oh, go ahead, just pick a project, find meaning in your life! Hurry, make good use of the time! The ego rattles on. Fear stomps in. Do I have a mission, some higher calling? Have I missed it? How do I fix the day I’m wasting? His voice calms my mind. I’m in the stream flowing with life, it runs through me. Lord, what a glorious day!

I enjoyed this very much, Pat. Loved the pattern, how the ego's self promoting, nagging and self denigrating gets squeezed between the joyous awakening and the handing over to the flow of the God-Universe. The last line is a cracker. Well done.

Isn't it funny how we establish OUR value based on a job or a title or an expectation of others! Some people waste their entire beautiful life trying to live up to something! It is good to hear his voice, to hear his peace and rest and explore your beauty while bathed in his love. Basking in the Glory! Letting go of what "rattles" you. Great poem!
