You Are What You Think

Like a baby screaming out exciting mind to action speechless heart thinks in silence. Happy thoughts stretch a smile sad thoughts wet the eyes jealous thoughts invent a lie envious thoughts grab the knife fearful thoughts talents hide tying jails the inadequate. In the garden of the mind left unwatched cockle thrives love unlocks and grows the talent watered by the truth of adequate. If asleep instead of driving mind is driven by the pattern learned from the cradling past following easy path of habit. If awaken mind can choose which thoughts and start a new path of action by design and become what one desires. Heart's feelings can demand only mind opens hand and the lips to forgive and the heart to love again. Branch attached to the Vine open to His flowing life is impowered with divine healing faith fearless charity guiding hope Spirit of eternal life flowing from the Vine to a branch once inadequate. Ninth place-Brian Strand No 1201 Contest-3/22/23

When the heart turns to stone, the mind can talk the heart into loving again or change a loving heart to stone.
