Rotating Consciousness

Do you give or do you grab? Do you listen carefully or do you gab and gab?. Giving doesn’t always have to do with buying gifts. You must listen too. Giving time to others will help to keep worries off your mind. Rotate consciousness into being kind! Do you truly love? Or is your love a lust? Do you give yourself completely? Surrendering is a must. Do you feel you need control of those you call your kin? If righteous indignation is called for, temper it with patience and compassion. Let the love of Jesus in. Do you lie more than you should beyond the small white lie?. Is it hard for you to tell the truth? Lies can lead to bigger lies. Being forthright leads to being wise. In telling what you really feel, you practice removing your disguise. Nothing is so freeing as being real. Be aware that even your doing all these things, there are people still who will not care. There are folks who sadly have not learned the value of giving love and truth, and they have not learned how to be fair. Do not let them bother you. Simply know that peace and unity in this world can come when rotating consciousness you can learn to share. Nov. 4, 2022 for Unseeking Seeker's Rotate Consciousness Polarity Poetry Contest

Honest Andrea! Absolutely love your poem! It was a tough contest, perhaps unfair to toss so many polarities to contemplate on, all at once! I’ll let you in a secret, the order of the polarities alluded to in the contest corresponds with ascension of the kundalini from the root to crown through the seven chakras. So there! Now you know :) Warmest congratulations on your win

Very interesting write, but all have a thought. I am one of the very lucky ones that found my soul mate.. It wasn't all perfect, but it was a give and take.. He married me twice without me asking, his choice, even though he wasn't Catholic he help me teach catechism. Besides so many more things. Blessings my dear friend

You raise some thought provoking questions. This low key sounds like a sermon at church. Or maybe a preacher might use this poem as an outline for a sermon at church. I hope that when people read your poem that they pause for reflection. Good luck by the way in the contest you entered.
