Introversion

Stop filling space.

Start letting space fill you.

If luck does rain from the skies, 

it falls upon those who don't

shelter their heads.

We move on a treadmill of

wants and needs and impulses,

taking a clutch of instincts,

and calling them "feelings",

for the glorification of the self...

while a drop of a chemical,

to small to be seen,

determines the "character" of a man.

It is dark in the space inside our heads,

and we cannot see in the dark.

Those with their eyes closed,

may feel more keenly, and so,

they may never open their eyes again.

this is so true...like Oedipus...those without sight, the other senses work overtime...and Oedipus saw more when he was blind than when he had two good eyes.

closing our eyes and just feeling life rather than looking at everything and drawing away from it..

life is a treadmill of wants and needs and impulses...but it would be better to just live, just let it flow...take the rain and not cover our heads.

we are too protective of ourselves..afraid to take the chance.

in a psychology class in college in the late sixties..the professor had us pair up..and walk around campus..one of us blindfolded, the other one leading...it was about trust..

we need to trust that life will harm us if we let the space fill...

i believe in uncovering our heads...let the rain fall and if luck falls like rain..let it hit us in the noggin.

this is so insightful...

one suggestion...i think you meant "too small to be seen"---

excellent!

pheromones...101

and the chemical interactions that make up neuro-activity...

I sometimes close my eyes when I hold a hand... and during a kiss - and sometimes I HAVE to see and see EVERYTHING I CAN to frame what I feel in a momentary environment. We each have our likenesses - uniquely.

This was very deep in my opion. I really got the sense of.... well.... introversion for the lack of another word. I can really relate to this in a way. I do my best thinking when left alone. This was a very well worded poem that flowed perfectly. It seemed professional.
