What if there was no heaven,
what if there was no hell,
what if there was no afterlife,
what if there was no next life?
What if there was just
this life?
How is our life going?
I’m not referring to
our circumstances,
or our job,
or our income,
or our relationship status.
I am referring to our emotions
what are the emotions
that most aptly describe
our most frequent
moment to moment experience?
Are we defined by peace,
and love, and joy
or is the majority of our experience
dominated by anger, and fear, and sorrow?
If we only have one life
could it not be an imperative
to make the most of it?
No, this is not merely
a plea to meditate.
This is a request to examine
the triggers in our life;
the ones we do have
some control over.
What does Coffee do to us as individuals:
What does white sugar,
or dairy do to us?
How are our culinary choices
effecting our moods?
What are our exercise choices,
or our sleep choices
doing to our moods?
If we only have one life
it is imperative we manage our moods
environmentally, nutritionally, and behaviorally
lest our lives
deteriorate
into just one enormous shit sandwich!
And just imagine
what that could do
to our breath.
Let us conclude
with a simple
call to action
