Fly off

When the perception of physical, financial and intellectual superiority dominates our eyes,

When emotions and thoughts cloud attention and we lose sight of the breath,

When mental beliefs, conditioning, patterns and blindspots dominate our perspective and perception,

We forget who we are, our divinity,

We feel vulnerable and weak,

We feel lost and chase mirages,

We struggle and seek ourselves else where,

We blame and complain,

Eureka moments, revelations and epiphanies abound,

Yet we may fail to connect the dots,

Failing to make progress we contemplate giving up.

Self acceptance and forgiveness,

Unlearning old habits, patterns and misbeliefs,

Redirecting attention,

Relearning and rediscovering the self,

Learning to maintain self awareness while walking on the path,

Incrementally inclining towards the self and remaining detached from everything else,

Eventually finding solace within and rediscovering timeless truths and own bliss.

Flying off when the wings are ready for the flight.
