Almost there! Almost where? The weekend? Feeling weakened. Always obsessed, For what's coming next; Not for the Now, Not important, somehow.

Always striving to get things done, To get "there" faster and faster; Intuition weakens as the 'to-do list' grows, And a schedule becomes your Master. -- MikeMesseroff.com #intuition #flow #todolists #instinct #trust #guidance #schedules #notodolist #noschedule #todolist #schedule #presence #mindfulness #meditation #whymeditate #faster #slowdown #lifeishere #lifeisnow #mikemesseroff #personalfreedompoet #personalfreedomcoach #unplug #unplugfromthematrix #mindfulpoetry #now #h

Invest in rest, You can't always be going. Time never stops, Ceaselessly flowing. It passes by in action, and in the still. How you spend yours, This is your will. Always being productive... That's not the way. It's incredibly destructive... A life with no play, No time to relax, Or to look around, No time to breathe deep, Or to feel the ground. And when you're tired, Devoid of elation, You can still produce results, But what will be your creation? So as time rolls on, No mat

Who is it that is a dick and repels, All of the seashells that Sally sells? A part of me, dying, But clearly not dead.

Lay in the darkness of the cave, Awake with no light, a silent grave. Sit through the fire, in the cocoon all alone. Allow metamorphosis, allow time unknown. Lay in the darkness, under a black sky with no moon.

Not awake, Not making a peep. Not awake, I am asleep. Not awake, Doing what I'm told, Not awake, Believing what I'm sold. Not awake, Never a question to ask. Not awake, Completing every task. Not awake. Drugged up and dejected. Not awake. Plugged in but disconnected. Not awake, Scared of tomorrow. Not awake, An emptiness filled with sorrow. Not awake, I miss the call. Not awake, I miss it all. -- MikeMesseroff.com #wakeup #life #carpediem #thisislife #lifeisnow #seizetheday #

Around and around, a monotonous bore. As a suppressed soul shouts "There is more!" But muffled, held down, held under, repressed. A life full of regret...complacent, depressed. So what would life look like feeling fulfilled, dropping strife?

Watts warned us fifty years ago and clearly was clever. He said, "It has to get worse before it gets better." Yet you're still pushing numbers, focused on the end, on the earn. Never in the present, your mind racing with concern. Life is serious, so you miss the point, day in and day out. Keep it up, so hopefully, soon you will SHOUT! You'll see it's a scam, it'a a sham, it's a joke. Life's not supposed to be a drag, have a drag, have a toke. This life is a choice and far fro
