Everyday consciousness

Every human being on earth

spends most of their time

inside their thoughts.

Thinking of the past

the future

and of course

the present tense.

When they have too.

They flip back and forth

to all of these states of consciousness

as memories of preservation, living,

recalling and protecting,

learning and educating themselves.

As well as wakefulness of oneself

and our soul.

Of who we are

as a human being on earth.

Just random thoughts that float

around my own head

and scribbling them down

to ponder on.

simple and to the point, enjoyed this write.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

when we write we are reflecting ourselves back to ourselves...like a mirror.
and sometimes we lose out on so much of life because we ponder too much, think too much about the past, worry about the future...and we stall in place...just thinking instead of living.

Actually, this tendency of mental wandering holds us back. You might want to check out Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now." You also might want to do a spell check on the last word of stanza 2.
