WORRY IS UNSUSTAINABLE
.
.
If your hands are shaking and your head is aching
To the heart pounding in your chest
Then it might be the time to rest your poor mind
Just give it all a rest
.
.
Put down the problems, put down the worry
Put down the burdens of the past
Just set it down for a while until you get back your smile
And a new approach that can last
.

TRIPPING ITINERARY
.
.
What if everything is ruined?
What if all your choices and rotten luck
Have taken you to Hopelessness and Despair
What if all your golden plans turned out to be fool's gold
Worthless
The plans might have been thwarted
But you, my friend, are NOT worthless
Therefore your only choice is to start over
With what you have, valuable information
On what not to do, what doesn't work, what you have outgrown
This is the most valuable information a person can have
If they are devising a new plan, a new vision
Of what you want your life to be
So pack up all those trials and tribulations in your bag
Of tricks and tresspasses
And set off immediately in a new direction
On a new day, with a new plan
For the next leg of your journey
To the Source

PROBLEMATIC
.
.
When the chronically self-deceived
Have a bad reason for doing something
They cover it with the fig leaf
Of a good reason, a noble reason
Then strut over to the moral high ground
Smug in their righteous indignation
To look down on you for ever ever
Questioning their motives.

MY SCIENCE EXPERIMENT
.
.
I like to feel cozy and warm when I come to the end of my day
I warm my cold nightgown on a heating pad to avoid warmth's slight delay
They used to have metal bed warming things filled with the hot coals they had
But modern me doesn't have those things, I use a heating pad
I folded and refolded it every night to get the most fabric warm
Once I tried every kind of fold, I deviated from the norm
(Deviation is easy for me, I was born with that wyrd bent)
I finally figured out the very best way to meet my warming intent
I swirl it around and round the size to fit the pad
Maximum warmth for a cozy feel that makes me relaxed and glad
So my scientific conclusion is a cosmic swirly swirl
To warm the nightie of this sleepy space dream girl

HOPE TO COPE
.
.
Many skills can be improved with practice
Including our skills used to cope
But what if these skills are played out
And you're at the end of your rope?
.
.
Then we must develop new skills
Ones we never used before
If your old skill set is not doing it
Then we will need something more
.
.
You might learn how to be here now
To be mindful of what you are doing
You might need to drop guilt and blame
Your boundaries might need reinforcing
.
.
Healthy habits are a wonderful skill
So is learning how to calm
Add a few new arrows to your quiver of skills
Then your journey can go successfully on.

ADVENTURE
.
.
The life of adventure is the life for me
Not the mountain trail or the untamed sea
But the adventure of a brand new day
Gathering resources, charting my way
No one has ever travelled this day before
The journey starts when my foot touches the floor
The adventure of seeing what happens next
I encourage the heart beating in my chest
I greet the day and venture forth
Travelling through time to find the Source.

LOADED BUT NOT LOCKED
.
.
If you give the Keys to someone
Who does not have their wits about them
Who can not see clearly through the fog of confusion
At that moment those keys placed in the hands of one afflicted
With the urge to self-destruct
Will do more harm than good.
