Alan Watts famously said, "By going out of your mind, you come to your senses
Abandoning the expected, you’ll find clarity in chaos,
allowing our minds lens to transform, tune in, brighten
Believing in you is being just you, the simplicity of you,
encumbering cobwebs prevent life’s force from filtering thru
Changing unnecessary innateness which blinds minds,
every generation sees the last as ludicrous behavior
Diving in the art of the here and now,
absence misses a rich presence
Embracing each twist and turn which bends and binds
a caterpillar embraces change becoming more magnificent
Freeing a voyage to the center of universal reality,
reaching out to cosmos within
Granting power shaping stars, shaping our path,
through connections of the galaxies
Humanizing we, breaking the chain of blame,
there is strength in our own buoyancy
Inspiring peace of mind and from the heart
expressing sincerity, clarity merely apart
Journeying for the purpose, the reason is,
in the moments dance of discovery
Knowing who we are, leaving longing to be normal
uniqueness is in our identity, no one else’s
Listening with ears of tolerance, seeing thru eyes of compassion
speaking language of love
Meditating, motivating, the way in which we’ve come to feel,
intimate with the infinity of space
Navigating both negative and positive,
failing badly, gladly succeeding
Off putting, although valuable truth may be,
a diamond amidst pebbles
Plunging into each brushstroke, swaths of colorways
that paint a masterpiece uniquely ours
Questioning for change is changing our questioning,
it’s often our approach that is stubborn
Revealing truths and bringing clarity in chaos,
outside the confines of our hearts mind
Shedding many prejudices indelibly embedded in thought
undo ancient biased tendencies inherited, revisit enlightenment
Transcending our realities, escaping the limits of time and space
tasting every morsel of life’s banquette
Unmasking anxieties that do not change the world,
serving only to distract causing mental coil
Visualizing what is beneath waiting to unfold,
as supernovae spills its gold, hidden in the earth
Warranting trust in faith is certainty, letting go
allay our fears, steel our resolve
Xert ‘ing self-belief and existence assistance unselfishly
flying high, dreaming free, relishing moments glory
Yeilding to our own voice, we are the universe experiencing itself
let there be light, and there was light apart dark
Zinging energy pumps through the heart mind,
setting it free
