From conception to 8 years of age
The brain develops at lightning speed
We are led, as in a hypnotic trance
At the mercy of others guidance
What we feed it, will grow
Starve what you do not want to live there
What we do then and from there
Makes us who we are body and soul
The mind is the power behind the life
A treasure not to waste
Each as unique as a snowflake
Completely set apart
No wonder we can feel lost and alone
No one knows who we really are
It’s true
That’s why we need history with people
Makes us remember the times
Which developed where we came from
This is the gift of celebration
So many want to forget
The loss and pain of it
Turns our hearts from celebrating
And to ignoring the pain
But we must remember
We choose what we feed ourselves
We all see from our own vantage point
Standing on a mountaintop
An engineer, an artist and a marketer
View the sun rising over the divide
The engineer equates and produces data
The artist sees the light and hues
The marketer finds a way to capitalize
All have seen the same thing
Through different lens
Do not argue your point of view
Instead realize they all point to the same thing
Each a gift to bring together
The compilation is the full bodied truth
No one stands out as the authority
When all see only what is given to them to see
Can’t you see
That it is in coming together
That we expand our vision
Focus on the common denominator
Not on being heard
Share what you know
In a spirit of humility
Open the door for others
To find a new way
To live and not to stagnate
We must push the barriers of our thinking
Sometimes knock them down
Be careful who you let in
Who you buy into
To become transformed
You must breathe clean air
Ingest no toxins
To resist infections
Take the time to view beauty
To cleanse your thoughts
To not ruminate on the negative
But instead
Fill yourself with positivism and love
Be wise however
There are sharks and scorpions where you swim and walk
Align yourself with others who can hoist you up
Fill your cup
Make it so you overflow
From all the nature, music and art
You absorb and pour out
Grow and feed others
Find your voice, your heart
Be a warrior who does not even have to fight
Win without force
Find a way in
To expand and break away
The crust of society
Bloom and grow
