I sat last night
and saw all the other lives
where I did not opt for bliss
I opted for duty and obligation...
Here I sit now,
sitting...
or
jumping off this time?
Last night I sat
amongst my elders
is not their wisdom only an
accumulation of our own?
I seemed to be seated next to
many different me's
Each one had a reason for not
following their bliss in their life
So, they came back and tried again
after their stories were told, I was next
in line,
but I was in real time
...they were ghosts of the past~~~
there I found myself
sitting on the edge AGAIN
and not 25 years old
looking at all that brought me here
and then looking within myself
here was my chance, the big moment
evolution culminating in the NOW
staring me right in the face
with the wisdom of the past,
my full techna-color Holograms
I had my reasons for not
following my bliss:
I had 'obligations'
I had 'debt of various kinds'
I had 'beliefs'
I had 'restrictions'
I had 'duty'
I had 'to be careful'
I had all of these ghosts still in me!
There was one way to kill them all!
JUMP this time, into BLISS
No excuses to stay outside of:
effortless, choiceless, pure awareness!
Jump I said, JUMP, I shouted
and here I sit on the edge...

Obligations, duties pull us towards the world we dislike.But, no way out.Conflict or compromise, two roads are there.You have to choose one.Loved.
