Returning to your Self

Thanks to Aditya Saxena @unsplash

Mind and body playing around

You getting irritated

Shouting and arguing they are

For you to listen and engage in their game.

The mind claiming about your past behaviour

As if it wasn’t there when it happened

Asking you to continuously revise the moment

For you to fall into the trap of shame.

The body arguing about what you ate

The past day with such a pleasure

Today it is bloating in despair

For you to focus only in its existence.

Today you decide not to engage

In any of their discussions

Because today you know

That it is only your ego louring you in.

No matter what your mind says

No matter what your body claims

You are here and now

To discover the pleasure of the moment.

What was, was the best way possible

Time has vanished for you to rediscover

The beauty of being in the now

And experience new beginnings.

The responsibility is solely yours

To discern your thoughts and emotions

For you to discover who you are

That is, no mind and no body.

In response to your actions

In integrity for your soul

To experience and grow

For you to return to your self.

With love, JEM
