"Revisiting Myself" ...piece from Vol.4 "The Enlightenment"

A rough draft from " An Abstract World Vol. 4" The Enlightenment" coming in April

 

"Revisiting Myself"

 

“John Locke's chapter XXVII "On Identity and Diversity" in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1689) has been said to be one of the first modern conceptualizations of consciousness as the repeated self-identification of oneself, through which moral responsibility could be attributed to the subject - and therefore punishment and guiltiness justified, as would critics such as Nietzsche point out. John Locke does not use the terms self-awareness or self-consciousness though.” * wikidpedia

 

The mirror spoke to my spirit-

 as the hall light gave sight to my image.

I stood there watching my shadow debate with

my consciousness.

I guess that I'm just "Revisiting Myself" because-

when the room is quiet and there is nothing else left-

nobody can trust you like you should trust yourself.

I look at my eyes and see happiness and sorrow-

I look at the set of lips that ladies seem to gravitate to-

I view my chest that is still strong but not like when-

I was 21 but at 33-

There is still a physical statue far from a Greek God but-

Far from a peasant who fails to do push ups for exercise.

I exercise "Revisiting Myself" at least a 3^rd of my day.

Looking at my physical from head to toe I know I'm blessed.

Many were maimed by hate, war and disease…

I guess I'm just pleased to be me even with countless flaws-

the blessings I receive each morning are not a mistake.

"Revisiting Myself" is therapeutic…

"Revisiting Myself" is spiritual…

"Revisiting Myself" is a step towards total happiness therefore-

I smile even when life throws punches from-

the best heavyweight champion.

I hope that all of you "Love Yourself"

"Trust Yourself"

"Believe in Yourself"

"Believe that you will receive your entire dreams gift wrapped"

At the end of the day-

There is nothing else left but self confidence and self respect.

Yes,

Your loved ones pray for your achievement and health,

But,

Without looking in that mirror "Revising Yourself"-

Total jubilation will always be 2 steps away and your feet-

will stay soar with a dusty mirror in your bathroom.

Gray nights and days will be your season if you-

Shy away from "Revisiting Yourself"

 

 The end
