Hilton Head Sunrise - It's nice to be in flow

The idea of God sending help makes some assumptions about our relationship and desire and willingness, and acceptance, and faith.

I will confess the job it can be done
The list is long but we can do what’s needed
For God sends help and orders everyone

Strengthen us Oh Lord and grant us wisdom
No wasted steps, diversions are not fun
Let things flow empowered by your presence

Meet the needs before us every one

Lots going on

Many loose ends
What do I feel
How do I prepare
For days to be real

Age comes along
An end is for sure
What is right action
What life is in store

Pick up my pen
Words do come out
Stream of consciousness
To glory do shout

Not very smart
In the things of the world
Yet that’s where we live
Till ages unfurl

Exhorted to wisdom
As serpents on earth
Not being so wired
Can act like a jerk!

Transition time again

Why am I here
This question again
Something to do
But what and when

The more that I know
About what I can do
The more that I realize
Its not up to you

Sure there’s free will
Choices are ours
Yet how do we know
What’s writ in the stars

Development occurs...

When your values and thinking patterns no longer provide solutions for today’s challenges.

This morning as I wake
The myriad of things
Just to keep afloat
I need my heart to sing

Find that centered place
In spite of what surrounds
In touch with deepest life
Find goodness all around

The fountain in our heart
When flowing out of us
Brings forth very life
Change circumstance and us

At times it is a challenge
Choose the living path
Turn from heavy thoughts
Its life that’s in your grasp

EGO

Context: I am beginning this blog at the suggestion of my coach, Mike. He has been encouraging the introvert me to allow others to see my more garded side. Well I'm going to post some poetry. I'll begin with a shot at defining ego.

EGO

Who am I – My ego knows
It dresses me in ego clothes
Creates a world where I can live
With solid walls, or like a sieve

I am the center, I am my hope
It changes over time, I group
And find there is much more to me
Than only parts that I did see

For you out there impact my life
I might not like it, try to fight
But it is true I see it now
In a vacuum I did plow

And over time I now do see
There is more to me than I can be
For you are part of who I am
Divorce can not from unseen hand

This thing called flow can only be
In context of both you and me
For my life is not alone
It really is communal home
