THE DECIDER

.

.

How do we decide

What to wear today, or eat next, or choose a movie to watch?

How do we decide

What to say, what to buy, where to go next?

How do we decide

Where our boundaries are, the desires of our hearts, what brings us joy?

The Decider decides

It is our inner judge who evaluates the benefits or drawbacks

To each decision

But who is this Decider?

What system do they use to sort out all the variables?

Who controls the Decider?

What program is the Decider running?

We can talk with our Decider

Give it feedback on past decisions

Instruct it on future decisions we hope to make

And those we hope to avoid

A well-informed Decider can improve the quality of life

Tremendously

MORNING ORIENTATION

Good morning everyone

It's good to see you all here today

Grab a cup of what you like

There is fresh fruit in the bowl over there

Then let's get down to business

You can see by this chart that things

Are gradually improving

Our profitable thoughts are up

While our overthinking costs are down

Due to the vigilant efforts

Of our Mindfulness Department

We have had to cut back on the Ego Department

Because we are going in a different direction

And the Lovingkindness Department is going to present

Some ways we can bring more customer satisfaction

To everyone we encounter

This is, as always, a group effort

And we highly value your input and suggestions

For Improvement and Peace of Mind, our most profitable products.

NO EMPTY HEARTS

NO EMPTY HEARTS

.

.

Our hearts will not stay empty

They will always fill

With our current emotions

It is nothing that we will

.

.

If we feel anger

Our hearts might fill with fury

When we have an angry heart

The "Do Not Cross" line gets blurry

.

.

The rage-filled heart is volatile

Vulnerable to explode

In angry words and actions

But kept inside, it might implode

.

.

The heart can fill with sadness

It can fill with regret and fear

To get free of all this pain

The contents must be cleared

.

.

The empty heart can fill with love

It can fill with joy and ease

Breathe out the pain, breathe out the fear

Breathe in inner peace

If I could return in a thousand years

I have so many hopes, and so many fears

I hope we will have learned from the war-torn past

That only peace and love can help us last

PRESTO CHANGO

When we start to grow

It may not be fast

But the New You should know

Your future won't be just like your past

.

.

When we make mistakes

The effects can drag on for years

But the Sleeper who Awakes

Will not be controlled by their fears

.

.

When we start to grow

We are pleasantly surprised

To see the same old troubled life

Improve right before our own eyes

.

I'M SORRY, PLEASE AND THANK YOU

I'M SORRY, PLEASE AND THANK YOU

.

.

There seems to be a new attitude

That I have named "combatitude"

When someone is primed for a fight

Think they are always right

And never show an ounce of gratitude

LYING EYES

MY LYING EYES

AI is driving me crazy

It makes my grasp of reality hazy

Things that look real are not

So how can I tell what is what?
