Mutiny Meditation

When the Soul
that is You
chose a Body
to inhabit –
maybe next
go-round
you’ll take a
little more time;
just kidding –

perhaps You didn’t
foresee the
Mutiny of the Mind
that may have
bound Your Soul

in chains of
Reason,
shackles of
Scientific Method,
handcuffs of
Objectivity.

Now Your Soul
languishes in
solitary
confinement,

while your Mind
busies Itself
collecting
Fears,

as if it’s some
sort of
Numismatist of
Melancholia.

Try this:

Place that Body
comfortably,
probably seated.

Imagine Your
Heart opens
and Light comes
pouring out,

filling Your
Body until it
escapes out
Your pores,
and soon

You are sitting
in a globe
of Light.

Aha!

It is Your
Soul
that has escaped!

Commune
with It,
bathe in It,
douse your
Fears with
gallons of It.

Let’s see
what happens.
