Choice Offers Reward or Consequences


Choice Offers Reward or Consequences


the art of ikigai

Purpose seeker finds her way, choice offering reward or consequence,
heart-strings playing on inner-calling, ikigai the art of doing something.

Stars aligning in joyous harmonious timing, ikigai the art of doing something,
not w/o trials errors unfolding, universal cause and effect laws still residing.

Actions speaking louder words, universal cause and effect laws still residing,
abstention sharing invested stocks, frozen time or continual changing winds.

Seek happiness, or is it finding us? Frozen time or continual changing winds.
guiding purpose losing century, blind-eye persisting, one day it just shows up.

Rod and Jerry offering up Quan ambassador one day, and it just shows up,
deep understanding, intricate findings, simplistic offerings of everlasting joy.

Long working bloody knuckled bones, simplistic offerings of everlasting joy,
glimpsing snot-nosed telling so, mastering the puzzle of life’s unfolding art.

Traveling broken shadowy roads, mastering the puzzle of life’s unfolding art,
answers clear forever w/in Canvas, rewarding choice offering consequence.

Stepping into inner cavern
dark
cold
no direction in site.
Fear arising
perchance bump in reality
outer light pushing
further inward.
Remain on the outskirts
never knowing what awaits
step in
discovering new perspective of reality.
In light casting shadow of doubt
submerged inwardly
shadow of sorts
discovering luminous.
In darkness
turning towards Source of Light…we are whole.
