WATCHING AN OLD MOVIE THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER AND IN IT THE BOSS IS GOING AROUND TELLING WORKERS HE WANTS THEIR HONEST OPINION BUT HE IS REALLY LOOKING FOR VALIDATION OF HIS OWN OPINION NOT TRULY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES...I THINK A LOT OF US DO THAT AND SO PEOPLE HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO TELLING YOU WHAT THEY THINK  YOU WANT TO HEAR RATHER THAN WHAT THEY REALLY THINK...SOMETIMES TO AVOID CONFRONTATION OR JUST TO BE A YES MAN...ANYWAY I WOULD GUESS ONLY ABOUT ONE IN A MILLION COULD AGREE WITH YOU WITH THEIR HONEST OPINION...JUST GUESSING WHAT THE ODDS ARE THEY COULD GIVE YOU AN HONEST OPINION THAT YOU WANT TO HEAR....

TRUST YOURSELF

YOU WILL FIND NO ONE ELSE MORE TRUSTWORTHY

SHARON SALZBERG SHARED A LOVING KINDNESS MEDITATION THAT FEELS GOOD TO DO DAILY. YOU CAN FIND IT ON YOU TUBE AND OTHER PLACES ONLINE...BASICALLY YOU START WITH YOUR SELF...MAY I BE SAFE, BE HAPPY, BE HEALTHY, AND LIVE WITH EASE....THEN THINK OF SOMEONE YOU KNOW OF WHO IS NOT DOING TOO WELL MAY YOU BE SAFE, BE HAPPY, BE HEALTHY, AND LIVE WITH EASE....THEN THINK OF SOMEONE WHO IS DOING PRETTY WELL MAY YOU BE SAFE , BE HAPPY, BE HEALTHY AND LIVE WITH EASE AND THEN FINALLY END WITH MAY ALL BEINGS EVERYWHERE SEEN AND UNSEEN KNOWN AND UNKNOWN BE SAFE, BE HAPPY, BE HEALTHY AND LIVE WITH EASE....IT FEELS GOOD TO DO IT DAILY...SPREADING LOVING KINDNESS IN THE UNIVERSE... I WAS HALF LISTENING TO A LEARNING STRATEGIES CONGRUENT COMMUNICATIONS TO ATTRACT SUPPORT FROM THEIR ABUNDANCE FOR LIFE MINDFEST HAPPENING THIS WEEK...I WILL HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT AGAIN AFTER WRITING THIS CUZ NOT REALLY PAYING ATTENTION BUT THIS IS WHAT IT MADE ME THINK OF WRITING THIS POEM AND THE LOVING KINDNESS MEDITATION...TODAY WAS ALSO DAY ELEVEN OF AN ELEVEN DAY INTUITION BOOSTER CHALLENGE ON RAISE YOUR VIBRATION...ONE PART OF THAT INTUITION BOOSTER WAS WHERE WOULD YOU HAVE ME GO WHO WOULD YOU HAVE ME SPEAK TO WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ME SAY SO THERE'S THAT...SO MAYBE THAT COMBINATION INSPIRED THIS POEM....I HAVE BEEN DOING THE LOVING KINDNESS MEDITATION FOR AWHILE NOW EVER SINCE I FOUND IT ONLINE AWHILE AGO....

THIS ORIGINALLY ENDED WITH IMAGINE BUT THEN THE LAST FOUR LINES CAME TO ME AS I WAS TRANSFERING THE POEM OVER HERE....THEY COULD BE TWO SEPARATE POEMS BUT THEY SEEM TO BE A PAIR...APPARENTLY

 DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON TRIVIAL THINGS...FOCUS  IT INSTEAD ON WHAT REALLY MATTERS TO YOU AND BRINGS YOU JOY. ENERGY FLOWS WHERE ATTENTION GOES SO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO...THERE MIGHT BE A LESSON FOR YOU...LEARN IT AND MOVE ON...DON'T DWELL ON IT OR YOU WILL NEVER LEARN AND IT WILL NEVER LEAVE...AT LEAST IN THEORY...

I AM SURE I MENTIONED LEVITATING LLAMAS IN A POEM A LONG TIME AGO BUT FORGET WHAT THEY WERE DOING BACK THEN...TODAY IT WAS ALL ABOUT L WORDS AND FUNNY I CAN TOTALLY PICTURE THEM IN AN ABSTRACT  PAINTING OF SORTS IN MY MIND...WEIRD...I KNOW...

WHEN I LOOKED UP LOLLYGAGGING TO MAKE SURE I WAS SPELLING IT RIGHT WHEN I WROTE THE POEM BEFORE THIS ONE  SOMEONE HAD GOOGLED WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOLLYGAGGING AND DILLY DALLYING....ENQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW...HA HA...TURNS OUT SO DID I WONDER WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WAS AND IT WAS A MATTER OF PACE...BOTH ARE BASICALLY DAWDLING BUT  DILLY DALLYING IS AT A SLOWER PACE...SINCE MY PACE TENDS TO BE FAST I WOULD HAVE TO CHOOSE LOLLYGAGGING...HA HA...I THOUGHT OK THEN AS YOU WERE WAS AN INTERESTING WAY TO END IT AFTER ASKING THE SILLY QUESTION....SILLY ME...RHETORICAL AS USUAL...NO COMMENTS  FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY...NOW ALL THESE OLD TERMS ARE POPPING INTO MY HEAD...LOOK WHAT I'VE GONE AND STARTED...GEEZ...
