In A Moment Of Silence
There Comes A Time
We need to consider
What we are experiencing at this very point in time
Our thoughts that we have expressed and stored in our brain
Both jousting for position
Constantly in a duel
I wonder who will take their rightful place
Will that person hold on to the power
Misuse, mislead and deceive
Will the power of suggestion surface
Like a frog in a near by pond
Surfacing quietly without making a sound
Doing what it always has done in the past
Depending on it's own natural ability
To survive and live on a daily basis
Are we products of our environment ?
Just what society says we are
Then again are we so much more ?
Sitting or standing viewing life from a microscope of time
Carefully examining our words that explain our actions
Can we break away from tradition
Is it an escape from a life we have always known ?
To be different
To be extraordinary
Isn't this our chance to stand out and show our unique talents and gifts
Are we boasting ?
Thinking we are so much more than we really are
How do we come across in the eyes of our peers?
A leader breaking in new ground
Helping other people
By guiding them in a good direction
Trying to save them the pain and the struggle
Without it will they have the same desire to succeed ?
Will they just cease all together ?
Going off into the woods
Never to be heard from ever again

Isabella Allred There are so many feelings connected with so many thoughts that seem to power every moment. I take the good emotions and toss the bad. The bad may have come for a reason and I discuss them in further detail. I spend most of my day enjoying and finding new ways to encourage, inspire, develop the thoughts that make me feel good. Hoping that these same thoughts can be multiplied to make other people feel the same way or better. Thank you for finding me and sharing your time and wonderful comments.

Kari Poulsen I wonder what how much information our mind does hold. Each day I start out to do good. Finding ways that I enjoy and that benefit other people. So it can be a two fold experience. I try to watch and listen and learn. Taking the memories from my past and adding to my actions of today. Bringing about changes that reflect the person I am and who I want to be. Life is always responding to every move. Enjoying life at each moment can be one of life's greatest challenges. Thank you for reading and sharing. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with many family and friends.

It's hard, at times, to examine ourselves and why we think as we do. I think our thoughts are part what we have seen, part what we have heard or read and part our emotions.

I love the imagery of the duel and jousting for position!

manatita44 If we could look into our thoughts the ones we dismiss and the ones we follow. Where are they coming from and how does that direct us in the future. Thank you for reading and following on my journey. Have a great day.
