People are waging wars around us that are
Depriving many of precious right to life
Children being made orphans
There is an evanescent will to stop this bloodshed
But since there is no sincere intent behind this effort
It just evaporates with passage of time
Are we ignoring the elephant in the room

The sight and smell of food is bewitching for me. I fight my addition to food but it a mental programming that I find hard to beat. When I am happy I want food. When I am stressed out I want food and if I am sad I want food.
It is not a genetic flaw. More like a defect acquired over time. It is a well known fact that human beings turn towards something to comfort them when they are unhappy or under stress. I always think of food in times of stress. Using it as a drug to make me feel better.
But I am trying to break this habit, now that I am no longer young but a fusty fifty seven year old. Time and age has many benefits but it definitely does not allow us the luxury to be careless with our health. Now the need to be in an acceptable range of body weight and fat percentage is ever more important because it affects all aspects of my life.
So onto a new programming for my mind. Eat to live. Sounds a bit cut and dry but in fact it is how most sensible and healthy people view food. No more chips as a side but salads. A salad as an entree instead of a burger or pizza. A piece of fruit for dessert.
A lot of changes to be made. And I am almost ready to make this change. Just making myself realize the fact that being healthy is way better than feeling good after having a scrumptious meal!

What was once whole lays broken now
I look at the pieces scattered and think
What shattered which previously was unbreakable
Was it the constant doubt that undermined it
Or did the harsh words tore its fragments apart
Can I put it together again with love and care
The dream that I had nurtured and then discarded
Needs me to continue to believe in it
If I don’t have a dream for my future
What is that I am looking forward to
The goal, the destination has to be fixed
So that I can chart my way forward

When things are not going our way
We need to make some adjustments
A snip and a tuck to tailor the way
We look at our problems surely helps
There is nothing random about what happens
To us and to the world around us
All actions that we take come with consequences
And every challenge is an opportunity to grow and learn
So instead of brooding accept the reality
As it is the first step towards resolving
All the issues and problems that we are facing
The transition from denial into acceptance
It a simple step that is needed if we want
To tackle our predicaments and challenges

It is fair dinkum that there are repercussions of all our actions. This rule, thought not officially recognized as such, does exists. You can verify its existence in your own life. Do good and good things happen to you. If you are harming someone that also finds its way back to you one day. This is applicable to every thing we do in our lifetime.
Kindness is always paid in full, sometimes even a bonus is added as well .Though a clichéd saying but true nonetheless is;
“What goes around comes around”
While this is true, good deeds should not be done in expectations of reward. Being kind and good is it’s own reward. The heart feels lighter and happier. One good deed not only makes your day but also for the person on the other end. Easiest good deeds are distributing smiles.

Do you listen to music ( if/when) you meditate? If so, what kind of music do you listen to?
******
This my response to Beckie‘s Question;
Immersed in the sublimity of musical notes
I savor the nostalgia it evokes in my heart
Traveling back to my youth again
I feel overjoyed to hear these tunes
Which used to mean such a lot to me
The freedom which it gave my mind
To be there in that state where I leave
All that is bothering me at that moment
And to float free in a cloud of sublime feelings
Ah! The adoration of musical notes
Which has saved my sanity so many times

You will meet them almost everywhere. They are the social vampires. Sucking up and feasting on the privileges of their social standing. Their acquisitive nature propels them toward collecting more and more of worldly things. They are never satisfied with what they have. There is an odor of envy and jealousy emitting from their minds which just goes to illustrate their greed. Try to avoid them and their company as it can be toxic to interact with them.

When you look deep in the water What do you see? Seeing the reflection of yourself In the unfathomable depths Induces strange feeling in the mind One feels as if we are floating In the mysterious The unrecognizable world Of the opposites Where the up is down and the down is up Where the objects are standing on their head At that point look into the heart too Which houses all those negative emotions The disappointments The resentment The envy and the agony Can we turn them upside down too Change them into the positive too Can we look up from this reflection and see That which we had found as a hindrance Has turned into a place of joy for us!

How would you feel
When you’re ignored
Facing rejection and
Forced to change yourself
Not likely, you say to me
But this is what people
Who are different from others
Are facing every day of their lives
This society of ours wants
Conformation from us all
Not honoring our differences
But expecting all of us to be the same
Now that I have spilled the beans
What remedy would you suggest
To make us more tolerant and inclusive
