Your North Star

What is your North Star,
Your moral compass
Which all your oughts and shoulds
And not good enoughs revolve around?

Every time we see the world 
Either as good or needing to be better
We’re judging by an internal compass
It has taken a lifetime to form.

And it’s a compass 
Influenced by and expressing
Everything we have ever learned
Everything we have ever been taught.

And yet, what actually is it?
What actually forms it, and what do we do
To make sure our heart and mind 
Aims to a true north?

(8/1/25)
