Letting Go of Herd Mentality


Letting Go of Herd Mentality

Wander in wonder little black sheep

Let me start by stating not everyone follows the day-to-day dogmatic learned behaviors, following blindly into concrete, pressed-in-stone ways of thinking.

Belief in absolute does not compute for these visionary dreamers with altered realities as potential outcomes, the end resulting fact not backed by scientific discovery-yet!

I applaud you, star-gazers, seeing the unseen not yet discovered and often unable to be proven by the hard-pressed fact-checkers unable to see beyond their noses-and that is ok too.

Stay the course, in and out of physical and spiritual realms of rumination, adapting, adopting, max-extreme understanding there’s always more than meets the eye.

Stay the course, letting go of visual identity, walking away from FOMO and undertones of fear-based realities-letting go of herd mentality.

FOMO is an acronym for “fear of missing out,” and often we are worried about what the others may or may not be doing. Their beliefs, so convincing, daily actions without discernment. They go where they are told, where others go, without being true to self. Not you dreamers! You are wanderers in this great canvas of life, connecting with natural ways and reaching for deeper bonds with Great Mystery.

Thank you Diana C. for this opportunity to share Day 23 of a 30-day poetry challenge. 


Much gratitude for those who take time to read, ponder, and allow the inner workings of self to come forward. Grateful for the feedback, love shared, and more importantly, the Dance with Inspiration. Deep Peace.

At the Center is the Void


At the Center is the Void

cosmic truths given birth

Long-forgotten ways of knowing truth
ancient teachings are sung by the feathered
four-legged and two-spirited alike,
watery whistling tunes whispering souls
of a darkened abyss deep beneath the sea.
Humbled hearts receiving gifts freely-shared
for the people of once before and many more,
healing stroke has given breath ancestral touch
not within the light or dark, voided or filled.
From the beginning before the beginning
to the very end of conscious sight unseen
alone, afraid, hopeless, together, brave, auspicious.
Out of deep, far from distant galaxies, star-bearing gifts
Sacred space, inner verity, deep-seated truths
deep emptiness, filled with visionary form
always and forever at the center is the void.
