Center Mind Safe Place

They say they are the storm, treacherous, tumultuous, devastating disaster.  While I inhale, exhale and breathe in my soul. Allowing them their need of attention to satisfy their childish pranksters as they play house in the confines of no satisfactions.  Never sated are these clandestined deceivers of influential freedoms proposing illustrious scenarios of lost obligation.   Center yourself mind, find your calm, safe place. Let them howl like a raging wind.  For like the storm they bring, it is only a myth of their making. Your shelter is yourself.  Rooted in the everlasting knowledge that winds only blow in passing, like clouds, never stopping to enjoy the heavens of the present moment where feet stand firm in the presence of eternity, ready to enlighten all who can receive themselves in serenities arms.  But oh how they rumble, and oh how they shriek, and oh what a bizerk they play on my contentment when they are up to no good for you. Knowing this, I proceed to delve inward for the gentle rewards of escaping the rampage of their likeness, that they tear at from my keeping only to prove once again, that they’re not worth a second of my time let alone my breath.  And while I reach for my safe place to find myself at home among my thoughts of pleasantness, I realize why they wish to disturb such a mind as this. A mind willing always to see good where none exists. Willing always to rise above their postures of snake pits. A mind satisfied with its own learning, pleased to venture away from their chaos to a field forever blooming with the scents of freedoms calling to be at peace among it all.  In denying their upsurges of disputes never settled, I and my mind earn our own right to be delivered from their grip.  Finding our self encased in the providence of kept promises, solemn commitments and words fulfilled, by those who found dignity in the good of basic achievement.  Never grudging another the decency to live in the ways they find pleasing for themselves and acceptable. Remembering always, that persistence is never forgetting that among all others, you yourself are the most important part of keeping your own mind safe from all those who would deliver you into the insanity of their purposes.  Heed always the wisdoms of knowledge. Give not your understanding to fools who belittle you. Grow in the words of pledged goodness and kindness and lend not your mouth to a lie. For within the walls of your thinking is the eternal light against all darkness, to sustain you forever in the kingdoms of the living where no one person is shut out of the pleasures of knowing what calm is truly worth.  Where the clouds roll away and the sun regains it glory to testify again of its enduring presence within us. Besmirching the naysayers who dramatize their ambitions to cast out all goodness, forgetting the blessings that rise like the light, are meant for all to receive in fair portions. Discover the momentous advantages in releasing needless turmoil from irksome perceptions and bathe in the glorious rains gently sprinkling the paths of refreshment in fields of maturing happily forever afters.  Where mind and body are cleansed from the tumultuous smears of the scorners and released from their imprisonments to once again feel the softness swaddling the soul close to its being. Protecting it from the needless indignation of countless bludgeoning's against its right to exist in understanding its own wants that brings all tranquilities in rescue of its needs. Calm yourself love, find your own goodness still at hand ready to be believed as you have always dreamed it. Reaching out to you in every moment of your life ready to receive you as you welcome it into your present thoughts. Jade Jaspers
