I wonder how I feel today.
I must know this.
Without knowing how I feel,
I won’t know how to feel
about
how I feel.
How is a person supposed to
function
without knowing how they
feel about how
they feel?
And then of course I’m
going to have to figure out
why
I feel the way I feel
about how I feel.
There must be a reason why.
And I need to know what it is.
But after that I’ll be ready to move
forward.
Yes, that will be the plan.
It’ll be all systems go at
that point.
All systems go!
Of course…well, it might be
a good idea to stop
for just a moment then,
and try to figure out
how I feel
about why I feel
the way I feel
about how I feel.
Yes.
I should probably do that.
But after that…
When we feel something we always feel it in our body. Our bodies tell us. One has to learn to listen to the body because the mind is filled with the consciousness of the senses. Opinions. The body is more honest.
Ah, I see. Well I was more trying to convey the idea of somebody maybe too focused on determining how they feel, no matter the source of the information. Paralyzed by the constant analysis, you know? Too focused on the self really to be able to function beyond it. I’m guilty of many things but this “analysis paralysis†may be my most egregious sin. Hence the poem.
Yes, I got that, hence my suggestion was to listen to the body instead. It’s easy, something we all know how to do, it’s just…well…it’s a difficult concept to get our head around…but that’s the whole point, it’s not for getting our head around is it?
