WHAT IS POETIC LIVING? A Love Note...

I don’t have it all figured out so when I stumble and fall I call it Poetry.
Life gets messy, its Poetic Living.

Poetry. 
It’s what i like to call it when life tries to knock me down, its when i find the things I’m grateful for, its when i NEED to express myself, its when I stop to take a breath and look at my beautiful children, and my amazing husband, its when I remember…I can have running water in my home any time I want…its also when I Forget, “wait, other people don’t have running water.. who am i to enjoy…” Wait..It’s when i NEED to remember... Guilt will not serve me, feeling shame will not serve me…so why should I be grateful again? Oh right. Because I actually CARE. I actually DO care about the world. I actually want to do something about it. So i NEED to remember…to be WELL. To live my life, every moment of my life Remembering.. and forgetting.. and then REMEMBERING again.. because its NECESSARY in this world of injustices, and beauty and corruption and love and Hate.. it all lives here.. together on this Planet whether we like it or not.

And we need to Feel these things…inside of us FIRST.. so that we don’t project them onto others.. especially our loved ones.
So who else has gotten in a fight with someone they love over a political issue or something horrible that is happening in the world... something horrible that hateful, disgusting people created.. and then we choose, whether consciously or unconsciously, to bring this energy into our home?

Well then, if we don’t bring it into our home are we in denial or in La-la land? NO. but do we know how to handle it? Who will teach us to SEE it & PROCESS this entity in a way that will not feed IT the sadness, anger, guilt & shame that it craves from us?
Do we know how? Is it even possible to process this LIFE, Consciously, lovingly, with PRACTICAL Anger so as to not invite this hidden agenda of disempowerment into our daily living?

Me neither. But I TRY daily. I intend it…. to see beauty, to see truth. to feel. to live. really live. remembering… sometimes forgetting… but then I Remember… I make it a monthly intention and then I choose not to hide or run away from what is needed of me.
We are each the Sun & the Light that helps each other SEE.
