Living Within

Living within-to-outward is an ideal feel-perspective when attempting to faithfully navigate the deceptively treacherous sea of human behavior. Those who initiate living, giving and breathing life from within, know that peace, love and security come only from their own core. Living-within-people accept others and, while willing to comfort, mostly leave them be to freely and fully tend their own spiritual growth and journey. Centered within people know that lashing out with anger or insult is caused by no other, but from somehow falling out of flow with life. Inward dealing people know that only by turning within will they find both the cause and remedy to restore rightful internal order. This soul knows that we cannot make people our friends, no, for two to know a sincere bond it must mutually inward-form. Outward-aware people have little to no ability to disturb within-aware people. Living outward-to-within is a false feel-perspective when dealing with faith and emotions. Seekers of outward validation for all felt, desired and sought, walk blind and far searching among other personalities, when sight and stillness would tell them all. Those who initiate life from outward of their own self, expect peace, security, love and all else ideal to come from the world. Living-outward-people do not accept taking or rejecting people as they are, but as they fit or misfit their own expectations for fulfillment. Truth for those outward-aware is that any anger or insult they unleash was outwardly caused and requires outward remedy. All people keep these people in a state of “disturb-able.” These people believe that we make friends. One thing that living spiritual truth means is striving to rise above the insults and accusations of others. Such behavior comes from inside the source, not the target. If we had to own our insults and carry them around in briefcases, they would have to be carried by the speaker. ... CayCay

There is only stark reality in what you are saying here, CayCay. A very intelligent poem that epitomizes the old axiom, stick and bones ... ultimately, it's our reaction to things that causes the suffering, rather than the actual THING itself ... if that makes sense? There are many layers to ponder here, that must have took some thought to pen down. Great work.

All the thought it took to pen came from all the years I've lived. I am delighted that you absorbed the read and perhaps in someway developed a perspective that will aid you in life. There are many who cannot begin to understand what the poem is saying. Thank you for your words. All the best ... CayCay

My goodness, it's like a study of psychology, Caycay. you are so smart!! I was taking this as extroverted people vs. introverted. Did I get it right? I feel I ought to try this contest!! Hope I have time. (I finally got Lovely bones into Nette's contest. Oh, it took so long for the problem to get fixed!!)
