i am certain that, the work of appropriate thinking constantly returned to. . .
every time i stray will, in fact, continue to change various seemingly discordant situations,
into finer scenes both in my life and in my world.
every day when i hear the news, i feel sad that the world seems so messed up.
the views of the prophets and seers say that this is a reorganization going on and that
to live in these times is an honor and a blessing. . .that thinking appropriately has the power to hold the world
in its’ proper orbit, as it turns from creatures who are wanting only to get, into a world where people constantly share.
the visionaries say we are heading into Eden, not out of it.
some days i feel tired and dried up inside, trying to keep declaring and seeing good
when despair is inviting me to slip into it like a comfortable fluffy bathrobe.
i say, “no thank you, i continue on, to do the work i came to do,
in a time like this, because i can and i chose it and i must to be true.”
as drama fades away around me, i feel grateful for the strength of good choices,
the company of good people who know how to affirm and intend, and a state like Vermont to do it in.
i don’t have to let the hotel maid in when she pounds on the door.
i don’t have to let doubt and despair run my outlook.
i don’t have to have drama and conflict be my state of mind either.
i am grateful every day for the power to choose
what i think, how i feel, and what i am declaring.
