Let The Flow Run The Show

in poetry •  6 years ago  (edited)

Why not?
It's about time I guess
To let the Flow run the show!

Move aside hyumans, ladies and gents
You've played at running the Show long enough
Time to get yer butts outta da way!

There ain't no 'show' to manage
Except inside your head
And your fear-driven, desperate need for Control!

Innit?

Why drop your ego in the middle of the road?
Dazzled by headlights, full of itself, heavy
'Obstructing' your access to Flow.

So what?
Don't think Flow exists?
Got all mod-cons running on auto-pilot have you?

Is there anything but?
Dynamic and ever-changing
Never still, nor the same as a moment ago
....this Flow.

Go to the observation gallery in your head
CCTV control monitors clearly display all actions blocking the Flow
Check it out, there are many factors
Mostly small, subtle and unnoticed.
Conditioned and unnatural!

It's great!
Once you find the side-gate, it's easy to step aside
and let the Infinite Intelligence
that some call 'Flow', flow.

Why not just let Flow run the Show?
It's very chilled.
And shit always works out!

Great writing as always my friend.

Cheers Cams 🔆 🔆 🔆

Brilliantly written @barge and oh so true.... I think we have the "hierarchy" all wrong lol - our furry, four legged friends definitely rule the roost! haha!!

As you most likely already know, I am the founder of the Power House Creatives (@steemitbloggers). I see that you supported us in the previous 10k delegation dpoll just wanted to know if we could count on your valued vote support in the current 20k delegation dpoll over HERE

If you do decide to show us your support, may I just say a VERY big thank you in advance :)

On the issue of the vote, I'm sorry but mine has gone to @homesteaderscoop this time around. I did consider voting for SB - I realise this is a bigger delegation than the last one (I'm referring to the one from @appreciator, which matched the 10k from @theycallmedan). However, I wanted to spread my support, and frankly, I think with stake based voting this time around, SB will likely get it anyway :). I have just gone and delegated 200 to SB, prompted by this conversation 🔆 .

Thanks for stopping by. Agree that our furry four legged friends have all the good stuff - like Love, Life, Moment-to-moment etc pretty much figured out. They have (and continue to be) amongst my most powerful teachers in these Very Important subject areas :D.

Hi, @barge, to say you are very generous in an understatement. @jaynie just let us know about this super loving kind and generous gesture of you to support SB with 200 sp delegation. Can't help but to stop by here to say big Big thank you for extending this generosity to us. And yes, indeed there are so many awesome communities here that we want to support. Definitely, @homesteaderscoop is one of the many fantastic communities here.

Thank you, @barge.

Thank you @iamjadeline, SB have been very warm in response 🔆

Thank you so much for your delegation and your generosity! 😃
I appreciate @jaynie's bringing this to our attention!

You're all so very welcome @thekittygirl 🔆

I really enjoyed your post here, so I'll be following you to see more! And thank you for the delegation to @steemitbloggers. There ARE a lot of worthy causes out there, so we are grateful for you for your support.

Thank you @blueeyes8960. We met once before over a backpack/teleporter as I recall 🔆

WOW! That was delightfully unexpected (re. the delegation!) THANK YOU!!! Somewhat speechless now, (which does not happen often lol) Very kind of you!

No problem re. the vote, there are many great communities on this platform and it is no easy task to choose haha!! I am somewhat obligated though (naturally lol)

Re. the furry friends.... yes, in fact FAR wiser than us... not unlike children :)

Re. you - would you consider joining us. I think you would make a great fit in our community :)

Thank you Jaynie, in fact I am the one overwhelmed by the flood of affectionate comments from the SB community! Thank you for the invite, I will take a deeper dive into SB, what it is all about etc. I do enjoy creative writing, although I also have 'issue' (personal, historical) with joining 'groups'. If you have a few posts you could refer me to so that I can inform myself some more, I'll certainly consider it :).

I understand and well.... I think now is the perfect time for that. I will not post links here - but if you look at a) our @steemitbloggers feed or my feed and the posts on there for the last 7 days.... you should get a VERY clear idea of who and what we are :)

Hi @jaynie and @steemitbloggers, just getting back to you on this so it's not left rudely hanging in mid-air. Besides, it was very nice of you to offer and I'd like to let you know that I have seriously considered it.

However, I'm a stoner and this isn't going to change and I do not wish it to. This is to put it within the context of my lifestyle, which is relatively free of daily responsibilities and obligations, and doesn't sit comfortably with them. In other words, if I feel I have to do something, I usually end up not doing it.

This is how I am, and the reason I would not be a fit. Having said that, for those with the drive and energy, this is a great opportunity to support and be supported.

I am not driven, nor do I have a notion of success that can be achieved. This may put me in the category of mediocrity from certain standpoints, but that is not an issue for me :).

Thank you for you interest and your invitation. I hope you understand my POV and see that this is a sensible decision. I wish you all the best.

Regards
@barge

PS. I will leave the delegation in place until the Solstice, on 21 June this year.

I am not sure I have the same talent as my comrades here in the SB community when it comes to having the right words on stating how generous you are. I must say thank you immensely for what you have done. This extra boost will help our community greatly!

Thank you for saying so @foxyspirit 🔆

I popped over here from Power House Creatives (@steemitbloggers) Discord channel because @jaynie just shared the WICKED AWESOMESAUCE news that you delegated SP to our community. Much appreciated, good sir! 😊

Thanks very much @traciyork - what a Supa-Kewl gif 🔆

This is a great piece. Most of us, humans, find a hard time to get the desired "Flow" to get things going. Sometimes little things impede bigger ones. Thanks for supporting @steemitbloggers champ!

I know, it's a multi-faceted game with many twists and turns is this life of ours :) ........thank you for your kind words and for the resteem @jonsnow1983 🔆

@barge

I am dropping in from #powerhousecreatives (@steemitbloggers) to say a humungous thank you for your delegation. I know that it will be put to good use. As @jaynie says, there are some great communities on the blockchain, all of which deserve support. I found myself torn in making that decision and wanted to support others of which I am a member. My choice was based on the fact that this was the first community to invite me to join and my life on steemit would have been hell without them. I won't carry on - I've waxed lyrical about this in posts.

Anyhow, thanks again. Your help is appreciated more than you know.

Great poem, BTW. Our house is ruled by felines.... ;)

Haha, my fav. 'feline' quote is from Eckhart Tolle, who says "I have lived with several Zen Masters, all of them cats" :). Thanks for stopping by with words of light and delight 🔆

Anytime!

Love it lol the last line says it all. I too am a dog lover. My little Max opens my heart and keeps me in the moment every day.

The 1% that doesn't work out at the moment we deal with. Thanks for supporting @steemitbloggers. We already have the welcome mat waiting for you and your furry family.

Thank you @rebeccabe, so very nice of you to say so 🔆 ....... animals really are the biz, what would the human species have become were it not for the calming, restraining and loving influence of 'pets', I wonder!

that is true.. we love animals.

Great writing!😄 Thank you for supporting @steemitbloggers with a delegation! All the best🍀

OMG!!! Thanks to @jaynie who brought this good news to us in the community ( #powerhousecreatives ) that you've supported our community with a delegation! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I know you've also supported @homesteaderscoop in the dpoll and they're also an awesome community!

Hi @zord189, very welcome! You are the 500th person to 'follow' the barge account - just a number I know, but memorable :). Thank you very much and all the best 🔆

Thank you very much @felt.buzz 🔆 🔆 🔆

Beautiful words. In more than one way. You're last like is true. It does always work out, doesn't it?

Also, thank you very much for your kind delegation. I see that more as 'winning' than anything when we help each other out as best we can. 😊

Thank you @tryskele. And yes, I do think it always works out with pin-point accuracy. I don't think that Nature makes mistakes, nor does Flow :).

You are welcome, and I agree entirely that 'winning' only applies when everybody benefits 🔆

Popping in from #powerhousecreatives (@steemitbloggers) to say thanks so much for your very generous donation to SB!
I hope to see you and your fabulous writing joining SB soon!
Thanks once more!

Thanks for such a nice comment @porters, all this kind attention from SB has been unexpected. Thank you for encouraging me to join, I will certainly be having a look. All the best 🔆

This was AWESOME @barge , you have such a gift with expression my man.

So true! Shit always does work out.

Now I hope it works out that you come join us. We can always use more talented writers. 😀
