One Good Idea

Ever toss One Good Idea in the Sea of Fate
'cause some kin or buddy said it had no weight?
When the next one came to tremble your soul,
those fingers of doubt only strangled it cold.

No diploma, certificate or college degree
was required to envision what your vision did see.
For the God within pulsed a Light sublime,
that One Good Idea that was yours for the time.

It's had civilization running after learning to walk,
babies making speeches after learning to talk,
scientists, explorers letting loose their Fear,
Man marching forward on One Good Idea.

And Faith held together by the glue of Belief
will rocket that Idea past the hands of a thief
who hoped to impart some poisoning corruption
only to find he's been caught in its suction.

Perhaps, there's the crux of an Idea so true,
its power to magnetize and vibrate in you
to exalt our Love, to diffuse our Fear,
like an H-bomb of Change is
One-Good-Idea.
Boom !

Oh yes, may we believe in ourselves and not reject a good idea at the first negative comment.

This is such a wise piece, dear Namyh, and you did bring back memories related to this topic.

Love,
Margherita

I think asserting ourselves comes with age.
There was a time I put way too much weight into what other
people thought as well as their unsolicited advice.

I like your idea here, very much so!!!

Margherita – We learn from our experiences to listen to that voice inside instead of someone else’s voice outside that may be wrong. Thanks for your words Margherita. Namyh

BluesSerenade – When we learn to assert ourselves at an early age, we’re better at it at a later age. Self belief is a big factor here. Sometimes we’re so afraid of hurting someone’s feelings by not embracing their idea that we end up hurting ourselves because we did. There’s a blue serenade for ya. Thanks BS for stopping in. Namyh
