July 04, 2024 – A

I think I know where I would be better off,
and trust myself completely
in directing my life to that destination,
the trouble is that the situation keeps changing.
The conditions become unpredictable. 
Better is a shifting mirage 
in a wasteland of empty promises
and lost dreams.

Where to we go to find better?
How long will it last?

My advice is to have nothing to do with despair
and hopelessness/helplessness.
Look to the right kind of emptiness,
stillness and silence,
and to the intrinsic intuition 
that is a part of our makeup
from the beginning of life.

Spend time there, with that,
as the source of hope, courage,
guidance and direction,
as "the still small voice" within
in all conditions and circumstances.

Be still.
Be quiet.
Be empty of all thoughts and emotions.
Trusting the silence and our intuition
to lead the way 
through the times that are upon us
as long as that might be.
