Creating a life with intention
What does it look like, how does it smell?
Does it contain animals and snakes
Birds and rivers?
My creation includes all those and more.
In my creation, I will feel peaceful and relaxed
At times and at other times, I will feel
Invigorated and flushed
In my creation, I will not be selfish
But will be self-focused at times
And other-focused at other times
I will howl, moan, cry and laugh
If creating my creation is up to me
How do I start? What if my old life
Just needs a few tiny changes to become
The new life I so desire?
I will have a few babies to visit
Some kitties and puppies to hold
Chiggers are not heard of nor exist in my new life
Only healthy and inspiring technology exists.
My new life has friends when I want them
And silence and quiet sometimes
I get to visit people and enjoy them
I get to gather people and host them
In my new life, I want love and comfort
Challenges, too, but only a little and not
Too much stress. Want good sleep, relaxation
And no worries, especially about money
Or security or safety, no fears about
Having my loved ones ripped away from me
Unless it is time whenever that is
Sounds like I am very powerful in this new life
And, if so, how will I behave?
Willing and able to help others but
Having the good sense not to try to help
Those who don't want my help
I will meditate and pray only
In metaphor, not in the Burger King style
Of having it your way, but a richer, more
Sensitive seeking in poetry, song, and art
I will make my own art and appreciate the world's art
I will speak when I want and stay silent when I choose
I will seek out people, animals, stories and tales
Try some out, let some go, move on and away at times
In this new life I am creating, I will drink
My fresh decaf all day long without fear
Of sleep problems or pain
I will munch on healthy, gratifying foods
This new life, I realize, is very similar
To my current life, just a few tweaks needed
Polishing, buffing, using sandpaper
To soften the remaining roughness
In this new life I enjoy myself
I have very little guilt or fear
I take risks and I gain courage
I sing, I write, I dance
What a life I have created
One that still creates me
What a beautiful time of life
This newly created crone age!
