What is the subconscious?
Definitely not a Mary Oliver moment , but a little piece inspired by David Brooks and his book the Social Animal. We could navel gaze for several lifetimes, but is this the point of life? Should we instead relearn how to choose? Wisely, and honestly?
Can we acknowledge our obsessions with ourselves, individualism, and despair, and then take this experience and understanding back into the real game?
Life, learning, joy, loss and love is found in the arena. With the sweat and the blood.

Subconscious ? Gods gift to our mind A shock absorber to our soul To what we could be To what we could do The unimaginable cruelty The unfathomable good All that would kill us in an instant. From horror or from awe. If we truly knew. What is the subconscious? Gods gentle hand our ancestors voice. A novel of our life. Preparing us for the inevitable Purposing our life Gentle nudges Simple bliss Triumphant calamity Each simple step So what now? How do we not stumble? Choose your pain Choose your joy Be patient, be kind This game is won By those who dare to play. Together.
