Present Behavior
To be honest with you, I cannot count on my fingers how many times someone tellsme, "leave the past behind". Learn from it, forgive yourself for the mistakes, for not doing something you should have, or doing something you shouldn't have. Then move onto a new steppingstone, a higher one.
It seems to me, we, humans, definitely know what we should do in most cases, yet we refrain from it. We give in to our fears which are based on past experiences. We choose to hang on to our mistrust, which is based on the grudge we know we are supposed to let go of, and we can always find plenty of justification for that ill-gotten choice. Today is no different and as a result, struggles, past issues, even if they belong to the past of our prior generations, are raised to the forefront, prompting our self-righteous indignation. But we have dismissed, and/or forgotten our downright soul-filled knowledge of letting go, forgive, love, and unite; all leading to chaos. Is that really what we want?
Thinking about all this, prompted me to write the following poem, to which I attached one of the more recent artworks I've done that I think gives good imagery to my hopes of what good I see could happen if we choose to follow the heart of our higher self. I welcome reflection, opinions, and reviews.

Present Behavior
how cross we are!
without proper alliance
the tipping
into a precarious axis
parentless behavior
a long ago
identity theft
our refusing
of proper alliance placing I
in the search engine
the focus
on our acquired differences
in fear
we look passed
our commonalities
