Mind In Memorium

A mind is a terrible thing to inhibit

Between a rock and a hard place, most choose ego

Cognitive dissonance becomes a reflex…

Disregarding all that disagrees with our reality

Extremes often seem to cut both ways

Flaying those who look too closely

Gander into the abyss…

Hope it does not feel your gaze

Ignorance is bliss but must bliss also be ignorant?

Justification and rationalization are too easily confused

Keep that gaze focused inward, but…

Listen to your mind and body in unison

Now is the time we should be looking to make a change

Stillness can be the greatest of all struggles

Time may be relative but seems more of an in-law

Understanding how your mind and body communicate is key

Verily,

Wondering is in essence movement…

X-rays of the world show curiosity is at its core

Yet here we are…

Zipping through life trying to shut down our thoughts rather than wonder...
