As a fundamental nature,
sourced in guiding principles,
my philosophy of being,
relies on varied rules.
They may remain unknown,
at work in hidden depths,
or they may be conscious,
each powerful no less.
It's in the deeper knowing,
that I define my truths,
call life a great experiment,
with certainty removed.
Impute the best of motives,
and recognise each Soul,
know that we all are seeking,
to answer inner calls.
Find meaning in the moment,
and purpose in each day,
embrace whatever comes;
for me this makes my way.

Rightly so Roslyn! The philosophy of being has to be realized by one's own self without any promptings. There is that inherent desire to be seen and to be a portent force that brings out the desire! Great thoughts!

I specially like the last stanza & try to live it too ~
ReplyDeleteOh yes - true wisdom. "life a great experiment with certainty removed". Well done.
ReplyDeleteAh.. yes..! to find sacred meaning and purpose in
ReplyDeletelife.. a continual journey for those of us
who continue to see the holy
in all that exists from
a strand of gray
hair..
to a grain of sand
to the eyes of children
to the seas of old and new
to the last grasp
for breath

US!..:)
Life is indeed a mystery, shrouded in uncertainty. It takes years to become comfortable with that.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of finding meaning in the moment and purpose in the day. A poem that encourages a positive attitude to life.
ReplyDelete"It's in the deeper knowing,
ReplyDeletethat I define my truths,

I think that we all live our lives according to some set of rules, and I suspect that often, we don't even know what rules we are following..It would be nice if we all set rules for ourselves that would allow us to make the world a better place!
ReplyDeleteYou demonstrate no deeper truths in the racist garbage you post on Facebook, no wonder your writing lacks originality, insight, spark or passion
