I have been incarnated in human form

on this planet for 3 score & 7 years,

& finally, finally, 

I am becoming more adept

at shifting.

Shifting one's mood,

shifting one's thoughts,

shifting one's emotions,

shifting one's consciousness,

is a very handy skill indeed.

The more you practice it, 

the easier it gets.

Sadness descends,

change gears--

tune into the waves of your mind that sing joy.

Despair arrives--

change over to the avenues of your mind that carry light.

Close your eyes,

feel the particles of life

dancing in the air--

sadness merges with happiness,

despair slides into hope.

There is alot of movement inside,

work with it,

sit with it,

walk with it--

3 score & 7 years into this journey,

all is well deep down in my bones--

I give thanks.
