A Cause For Pause
A Cause For Pause
25 August 2011
I stopped to watch the sunset
As the sky’s color didn’t stay,
But evolved from yellow, to scarlet
And resolved in a purplish gray.
I was reminded of the saying,
“Stop and smell the roses.”
A full-bodied scent upon inhaling
Stimulates our noses
And excites the whole brain.
I realized anew that many wonders
Are simple and easy to attain.
Perhaps the message thunders,
“Stop!” “In this fortuitous moment
I don’t care what else is going on,
The world is on pause for this scent
Or this sunset that’s glowing on.
For a short time I’ll focus to be
Aware of what’s meaningful to me.”

Visualization Culmination
Visualization Culmination

I followed the voice
Directing me to visualize
My life and choice
In a super size.
The self-improvement guru
Thru guided visualization
Led a life review to
Behavior modification.
While imagining a hinderance
To my future objective,
Visualizing that chance
From a different perspective.
Where the choice is unmade
And the results get
Changed and replayed
To a different vignette.
I listened half sympathetic,
My personal learning mode
Is visual and kinesthetic
So my attention yo-yoed.
I didn’t write goals down
But I followed during
The imagination countdown
And values conjuring.
I was very surprised
At the outcome I got,
For mindfullness minimized
I felt like a freshman snot.
The exercise made me feel
Like I was much younger
About the college age ideal
With a curiosity hunger.
However, I got to keep
Knowledge and experience
So the price was cheap
Even tho it didn’t make sense.
