Winners and Losers

-

Yin and yang dividing things,
interweaved, divining strings 
of thinking, senses, inked.

 Bit of black, bit of white
dualities apparent fight
freeing fortune's wings.

 Hemispheres, losers's tears
post-traumatic fears
shrieking, soured songs they sing.

 Child born and child made
if born in love, then by fear stayed
choked by karma's ring.

 Yet colours deep, exhale the weave
day's contrast defines the eve
sweet with honeyed stings.

 Tear not apart the silk to flags
condemn with fire, waste to rags
give each a patch, to thread, to link.

 Compete not there, for earthly spoils
ravaged from her un-soothed soils
weave Earth's quilt with all in mind
and only all can win.

I felt free enough from domestic distractions to be able to focus on my creative work, and my healing from PTSD; which I felt were inextricably linked.  But when I realised how noisy my new home was, I wondered if I could focus.

How To Connect With Your Higher Self

We are entering a stage of human consciousness that is very individual and requires less direction. Human development no longer depends on gurus and outside helpers. It is up to each individual to access the power of a personal authority that works in loving consideration of all.  Why do we need a higher self? Connecting to a sense of higher guidance is more important then ever as social media and TV influencers tell us what to buy and how to think. Everyone's idea is presented as the best idea ever. Advertisers promote themselves as the authority on just about everything. The consequences of our decisions are ours to carry alone. So we need to ensure we are leading our lives from a broad and considered perspective. Attuning to a higher self can increase the wisdom available for each decision made. Over time, our trust in ourselves as decision makers can grow. Where is the higher self? There is a dimension just outside of ordinary reality containing the very best versio
