It all started with a conversation with one of my dance students of many years. She was going through some life changing challenges. And she poured her heart out.
This episode is inspired from that heartful conversation, I had with her on the many varied situations that confront us all and some perspectives I shared, on managing the self through the challenges.
In A World of Continuous Distractions
Where Culture Offers so much
There is little Room for How
We are Evolved to focus Now
on One Task Like Foraging
or Hunting still maintaining
A Big Enough Picture View to
Avoid the Potential Predator on the
Horizon Yes like the Two Ton Truck
Coming over the Hill While Folks
Concentrate on a Much smaller
Horizon of a 6 Inch
Screen and Text
While Driving
Yet this metaphor
is applicable to the Rest of
Life in a Slow to fast Burn of
Stress tearing down our ability to regenerate
Both Our Mental Emotional Energies and
Physical Bodies to
Be Able to Focus
on the Task at
Hand Maintaining
Long Term Attention Spans too
Indeed Unlike the Modern Average
Less than Gold Fish Attention Span
of Yes Less than 3 Seconds to Watch
Advertisements at best around 40 Seconds
For Other Endeavors that come our Way Yet
Of course as You Relate
in ‘Self-Management’
We Can Work and Play
Life in a Way of Balancing
A Sweet Spot of Flow Tween
Anxiety and Apathy Taking back
Our Focus and Attention Span to
Get things Done With energy Still
Left to Regenerate Body and Mind Soul
Complete
Now for the
Next Challenge
that comes in Life
Sadly some folks Just
Don’t Have A School
Work Or Home
Environment
That Provides enough
Sanctity of Peace to do this
As to Survive they are treated more
Like NumBeRS Highlighting the Numb
Than Flesh and Blood Living Human Beings
So they basically
continue to suffer
in a World that No
Longer Puts People
and the Rest of Nature First
Indeed Our Distant Ancestors
Might Call Us ‘Gods’ with All Our Advanced
Technologies
Yet it would
be clear to
see even in Just
the Stiff Ways We
Move that Human Culture
Today Overall is Truly ‘Insane’
As We Come together basically
Functionally Disabled by Our Own
Volition or Ignorance of what even means
to Breathe
Deep and
Free Yes
Inhaling Peace
Exhaling Love
Putting People
and the Rest of Nature First
i Live in ‘Eden’ i have a choice
Some Folks if they Want to Eat
Simply
Don’t
Even if
they wanna
Live at all Now
On the Other Hand
Those of us in ‘Eden’
Can at Least Reach Out
to lift
others Up
