So many of us complicate life by attaching significant importance to the mundane, trivial occurrences that we are confronted with. There are those that seek to control the narrative of life to suit their purpose by manufacturing crisis’s and promoting them as dire situations we all need buy into with passion. The news media, Hollywood, big business, government, and organized religion are all guilty and proud of it. They claim they act in our best interest. Somewhere along the line it was determined that these entities know what is best for us and we are all ignorant sheep that must follow blindly without question. The result of this mass manipulation is the unilateral distraction from our own intention and a collaborative focus on their agendas. In short this is tantamount to Mind Control.
Each of us are co-creators of this world with the task of using our imagination, desire, and intention to add beauty to our collective existence. When we turn our focus where directed by these entities of power, we compromise our contribution and end up creating from the intention of another. We all have talents and abilities that is incumbent upon us to utilize in our effort to co-create experience. Life is about joy, not pain. Pain is thrust upon us so we will alter our path to align with theirs. Take every step possible to be genuine with your intentions and authentic with your actions and you will be leaving your mark not theirs.
We are surrounded by beauty and exposed to the natural order of creation daily yet allow our focus to stray to the man-made crisis’s that feed the mass hysteria. The path of least resistance is always the most rewarding and usually effortless. We can tell when we are off trail by how difficult the ride is. When I go out on my bike, I stay on the black top. My Big Vic is not a dirt bike and will toss me around if I take the rocky road. I enjoy riding the smooth macadam. One of the things I enjoy about riding in the country is that on the bike I am closer to the road and able to see more of nature and my surroundings. Beautiful landscapes are more vivid, I can appreciate well maintained properties that I pass, I can hear the birds and even sometimes hear the crickets chirping. Now in the city, with the clatter of traffic, the angry roar of road rage tirades, factories clanking and sirens screaming, it is difficult to hear the true sounds of natural life. Once we can tune out the external exposure, silence the manufactured outrage, and zero in on our inner voice, we will be able to hear those crickets hiding in the bushes, even in the nastiest urban setting. The NOISE is the distraction we must eliminate. The harmonic sound of nature is the sign of enlightened thinking. Once we have reached the level of focus where we hear nature and not clatter, we will be creating the life that has always been inside of us longing to manifest.
Set your filter to INTENTION, move your focus inward, block out the noise and listen for the chirp. It is always there.

WHEN YOU HEAR THE CRICKET CHIRP AMID THE URBAN CLATTER
YOU WILL KNOW AT ONCE FOR SURE, YOU FOCUS ON THINGS THAT MATTER
THE COLLECTIVE ROAR OF RAGE AND PAIN DISTRACTS US FROM OUR PATH
WE FEED INTO THE NARRATIVE THAT WE LIVE INSIDE GODS WRATH
BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, THE PAIN IS OURS, WE’VE BEEN DIRECTED TO CREATE
THE ARCHITECT OF ALL WE KNOW GAVE US CONTROL OF WHAT WE KNOW AS FATE
THE PURPOSE OF THIS LIFE IS GRAND, JOY AND PEACEFUL GRACE
IF WE ABANDON OUR TRUE PATH WE WILL DESTROY THIS PLACE
LISTEN FOR THE PEACEFUL SOUND THAT NATURE PLAYS AT NIGHT
THERE TRULY WILL BE CRICKET CHIRPS, AMID THE URBAN BLIGHT
WE SEE AND HEAR WHAT WE EXPECT, OUR VISION IS SUBJECTIVE
CHOOSE JOY AS INDIVIDUALS, AND JOY AS A COLLECTIVE. �_�
The Journey IS the DESTINATION
