Inspire Me: Perception

Discussion of possessions and our relationship with them and how it's difficult to let go of our beliefs and perceptions. A reading of the poem "Tomorrow" from Inspire Me: Perception.

I started meditating several years ago. I wanted to do it for many years but my mind keeps going to my to-do list. Thinking about the day or what could I have done or said differently. I realized that I just needed to replace those thoughts with a place that brings me joy. The forest, the ocean, somewhere in nature that calmed me. Finding that happy place to visualize. Growing up I have felt lack and I thought possessions were the answer even though whatever I purchased was exciting and made me happy for a very limited amount of time. Then I had to store it. Gratitude for what I have and realizing I had so much more than I thought...

Tomorrow If I was to die tomorrow Would I have organized my home Would I had left my paperwork in order Would I have made it easier for my family

If I was to die tomorrow Would I have followed and completed my dreams Would I have loved the way I wanted to love Would I have visited the world like I wanted to

If I was to die tomorrow Would I have told those that I loved that I love them Would I have seen the beauty in my own life Can I say that I lived my life to its fullest

If I was to die tomorrow Would I have lived today Would I have loved differently Would I have felt my life was complete

If I would die tomorrow A sadness would be there to Know I wasted so much time Afraid of the unknown

If I was to die tomorrow I would make the unknown—known I’d face the unknown I was so afraid of As I chose my life today with strength and joy
