high stress

 

high stress is self induced.

the interpretation of perception

into internal states of response,

converts a passerby-mentality

into the captain of the ship.

the enigma of experience as a trickster

provides for that to occur in everyone.

the scope of this view, 

fed into the image of the self

can create the need for a monolith of self-mastery.

out of the clay of self un-molded,

stress becomes the working hands of intention,

feeding off a mirror serving up perception

as to what is needed 

from what is of self, available.

stress is high octane, 

attempting to perform delicate intentional deeds.

immediacy is an internal rush.

there is a flash flood without apparent evidence.

to manage the projection of self

requires a multi-realm approach.

who has ease when deftly fast is approaching?

who has calm when overwhelm is in avalanche?

who has wide-eyed witness 

when face-off is nose to nose?

yet high stress is self-induced.

there is more self 

behind the curtain of self proclaimed.

there is a deeper self then projection can provide.

there is inner self yet untapped.

even the concept of self, as unconnected,

is a ruse and lives as a lie.

all of stress is a false pretense of being 

as if one is separate from all else.

stress is the phantom pains yet realized

from being perceived as alone.

where one is truly connected, 

there is no stress producible.

oneness is a stress free state of being, 

when living into it is as the all . . .
