Oh how blessed... How blessed the "I" is... By not having power to choose. How blessed the "I" is... by being allowed to receive all that the "I" would refuse. Powerless Hopeless Helpless That's "I" Free to fail Free to try Being choiceless grants the "I" freedom. Freedom to both stand and fall. If there were choice... It would only suppress "I" But... "I" is Free to experience ALL With choice... "I" would deprive itself of things seen as negative or erring. Being choiceless... There is no error "I" is free to Be cautious or daring. "I" is Free to experience ALL For there is nothing apart from the "I" "I" will rise and "I" will fall "I" will live and "I" will die. Ah! The You that thinks it has "Power" You...who thinks it rejects and allows. "Preference" and "Power" to choose "this" or "that" Yet, have no control of your bowels. If there's a YOU that thinks it has "choices"... Did you choose to be born ? Do you choose to become ill... and die? But... If you feel you have "choice" You must follow that voice... You have no choice but to follow the "I" You may come to the thought of "no effort" You may work hard at "Being Still" "you" might DO lots of doing... or "you" may DO the non-doing... But... Who asked you if you wanted Freewill ? Oh how blessed... How blessed the "I" is... By not having power to choose. How blessed the "I" is... by being allowed to receive all that the "I" would refuse. |

Is it okay if "I" reply here to tell you how much "we" enjoyed it?  Seriously, I was just telling a friend a few days ago, all of us have stuff going on in our heads of which we are not even aware--but give them each a voice, and you are labeled "crazy". ah well...Much enjoyed this. Thanks much for sharing it with us.  |

Makes sense if you think about it. It is so much easier to be alone. The choices we don't have to make because it just comes naturally. You don't have to think of anyone else but yourself. But when the words all or we are involved that means that you are placing someone elses thoughts and feelings above your own. This poem is good in that it expresses these thoughts to me. keep up the good writings. |

You are a wise soul, and lucky enough to be able to properly express it through poetry. Cheers Adam |
