Essentials
often left behind
simply because it is easier
to live in distraction
than to strive for anything of significance.

Essence craves life
our search for meaning is Essential
it is human to long for significance
or hide in distractractions
competition, taught to us, teaches us
to strive against, measure up, look down, keep down, win at any cost... ???

essence, soul... craves the essentials of life...
Yet I am awake when sleep should be nuturing my dreams...
time to call it a night
remember again the essentials
Rest rather than strive
stay sensitive to stay alive...
pray, love, hug, and bless
-- embrace the best of humaness

Peace out ya'll
