Inside my mind
I rewind time
Rereading and over analyzing the messages between each line
I am restless and reactive
Tied down by time
Time- as man has constructed it
Time- as man has constricted it
Wrapped and bound by minutes, seconds, hours and days
Living in the present as if I am in the past or somewhere in the future
Forgetting that time freed from the constraints of clocks and calendars is timeless
Timeless
Inside my mind
I am suppressing my feelings of oppression
Oppressed by my own repression of my personal truth
Inside my consciousness
I watch my mind dart back and forth, attempting to control the uncontrollable
Attempting to explain the unexplainable and attain the unattainable
I am aware of this moment and what it feels like
I am aware that it is all out of my control
This is beautiful because to step out of control is to step into flow
Inside of my consciousness
I invite my mind to relax
To stop rewinding time or fast forwarding to the future
To relinquish control to universal flow
To dwell in the present moment
My mind excepts my invitations
And together we dance in the happiness of present moment awareness on the grounding green grasses of gratitude as the sunbeams warm awareness full of light to even our darkest places
Inside my consciousness
My mind is free
