Light at the speed of thought. A poem

The day is here,
make good of it.
Look not to the Saviour, only.
Search yourself, find yourself, and
occasionally, lose yourself.

Speak.
To yourself, and to them too,
they all want to listen,
to you, to him, to her.
Everyone is listening.
Though they do not understand.

Make it plain.
Make a plan.

Take a plane.
and find them.
And when you do?
Look for yourself, again.
And listen.
To yourself.

I wrote this bit in 2008. And I was basically saying, at the time. That what you think, becomes you. You are the person that owns their reality, and what you say, what you do, and how you react to your environment, thats all you bro.

If you own your space, your headspace, and if you control your actions, you have the power to change everything around you, but thats when you do good bro. And do good without the expectation to get some returns. I believe the universe wants to reward you, to reward you for your benevolence.

If you reach one person, with your good intentions, you have reached humanity, and that action cascades fam. Its got a rolling effect, because you have changed someone’s life, and their trajectory for the better. And they in turn will spread more of ubuntu to the next person, and it all goes around that way.

I think there is a movie about that. Pay it Forward I think its called. I loved that movie fam.

Be best today.
