The Beauty of The Simplest Things “The more I focus on the good and Beautiful things flowing into my life, The more good and beautiful things I discover I already have to focus on!” When, in the tumultuous Trials of days, I lose track of how Fortunate and blessed I am and allow dark Thoughts of all I want, All I wish I had, All I fear my happen Or the stinging pain of All the hard things That have already past To flood my mind, Then I begin to fall Headfirst into a well Of sweltering darkness And in that space, My suffering grows like A vine climbing a tree, Intent on blocking out the sun, And my heart gets Choked by degrees— Understanding this dangerous Possibility, I am motivated To train myself to Watch every negative, Critical or fearful thought, And put out the sparks that Cause the emotional firestorms Which lead to so much Suffering in vain. Instead, a thousand times a day, I notice and declare the Beauty of the simplest things Which flow through my life. The more attention I give To the good, the more good Appears to pay attention to— And when I am wise, I keep this circle of good flowing, Begetting more and more good Until everywhere I look, Everything I feel and Every thought I think is Suffused with a heavenly glow.
