Ashes In The Womb
Ashes represent a new start...

Within the womb
A heartbeat
A life
A new day
A new dawn
But is it time to morn?
Shock
As the clock
Ticks away the time
A rapist's crime
The hour
The shower
Blood, in portions
No abortions
Burning stained clothes
Upon glowing wood
As crackle after crackle
Feelings float, misunderstood
A new day
A new dawn
But is it time to morn?
Ashes glow
Then they don't
A new dawn
A new vote.

This is a good example of how I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what I am going to write before I wrote it.
As I mention in my About Page I believe that it is the soul which guides my writing most times. Something unknown comes through to put into words something that is known.
This was written the morning after the US 2024 Election count. The Republicans one by a huge majority. At the time of writing this there is a wide thought that the Republicans will ban abortions.
I assume this is what my soul is alluding to in this poem. Highlighting the concern of many, of what that means in special circumstances.
This blog is about spreading happiness so you may be wondering what has this poem got to do with happiness? I see a lesson in all things, and the lesson I want to always find is how can something lead to happiness? It's the things that you wouldn't normally associate with happiness that are the best to analyze.
I believe, like with perspective, that each person will differ in what they find makes them happy around this subject matter. Some will be happy simply because they are Republican. Others will be happy because they agree with abortion. Those that do not agree with abortion will have a harder time coming up with their happy thoughts.
As a soul coach I would try to point people who struggle to find happiness with such a subject to at least find hope or peace. Find at least one tiny happy thought. Perhaps it is looking at a mother who was raped and had a child begrudgingly but who after giving birth realized she had made the best decision of her life, and perhaps that child grew up to make a positive and happy difference to people's lives.
And there in lies one of the strongest lessons to happiness. If you totally disagree with something, if it makes your blood boil, if you cannot see any positive or happy side to it.... then I am sorry, but you need to rethink what is inside you. You need to rebuild from those ashes how you react and how you think.
Why?
The main reason is because you are hurting yourself from within. You are tormenting yourself from within. Once you read my book you will also realize that you are living through your human-animal mind and not your soulful mind. There is a black and white difference. One is powered by human emotions, and the other by love. Love has no room for hate, only compassion and patience.
For me, ultimately I believe that "Everything happens for a good reason" you may not always see it, but it will become good in the end.
I love you, take care of yourself today.
