The Great Play by John/Life/Understanding/Awareness/Enlightenment/Appreciation

The Great Play

 

I lift a rock and see insects

as they perform their rituals

unique in their performance

in the great play of life.

 

I look in the ocean and see fish

as they perform their rituals

unique in their performance

in the great play of life.

 

I look in the sky and see birds

as they perform their rituals

unique in their performance

in the great play of life.

 

I look in the fields and see animals

as they perform their rituals

unique in their performance

in the great play of life.

 

I look at my neighbours

as they perform their rituals

unique in their performance

in the great play of life.

 

And yet it is only we, the human race

gifted with compassion and reason

who can make a difference

in the great play of life.

I have two self-help stories available exclusively on
 Amazon, either on the Kindle or paperback, and I do
 hope that you find them interesting, thought-
provoking, and, most of all, enjoyable: -
 
This simply written short story is aimed at those who
 seek to understand themselves, and through
 understanding themselves comes a greater
 understanding of life. 
 
(as witnessed by his brother)
Much has been written about Jesus, and no matter your
 view on religion or Christianity, this person, whether he
 was as described in the bible or not, has singularly
 shaped, to a greater or lesser extent, the lives we lead
 today through his wisdom. There are many versions of
 the story, but there is only one truth, and is it not
 better to know the truth?

Connection by John/Appreciation/Natural World/Eco Friendly/Being Mindful/Being Present/Happiness


 Connection

 

I stand still, breathing gently, fully,

my body and soul, as one, connected, truly.

The full golden moon, in its early dawn glow,

bathes me in light, trusting that I know,

everything is connected in an unseen way,

growing through knowing each and every day.

Positive Detachment by John/Mental Distancing/Emotional Distancing/Good Mental Health/Inner Peace


 

Positive Detachment

 

I have often found I am in an unexpected battle,

and in my surprise, my confidence did rattle.

I shake my head in total disbelief,

for here I am, dragged into another’s grief.

I have been dragged in without conscious thought,

having to bob and weave as this battle is fought.

I know I must keep a clear and calm head,

for this attaching to others leaves me half dead.

I have the opportunity now to deactivate this trigger,

and live a better life which will become joyfully bigger.

Being Mindful and Present

 

Being Mindful and Present


It is so easy to slip and dwell in the past,

drawing memories out and to make them last.

Or to dwell in a potential future and dream of change,

and then wondering why our lives seem flat and lacking range.

Truly the only real change we can make is in the present, here and now,

like the farmer planting his seeds as he tills the soil with his plough.

No ego, aggression or misplaced confidence to kill the flower,

mindfulness is subtle, humble and filled with loving, compassionate power!
