The Voice within

It all started this morning when i did not want to get out of bed ! Just didnt feel like it.

The Voice said: "DONT keep lying there "
Me: (back up )" WHO is to stop me ?"
Rebellion and resistance 
The Voice : " Well you SOULDNT be "
Reason crept in ( albeit slowly but it did ) 
Got me thinking ( for a change ) about operatives like DON'T , CAN'T, SHOULD and of course SHOULD NOT 
The design and structure of every Creation existing allows it the total and absolute freedom of action . There is no restriction to doing anything . No blockage from the Universe .
The limitation -to do -comes from our own thinking or sometimes ' physical or mental handicaps ' BUT the choice is freely available. 
Nothing blocks us from raising our hands , running , sitting , standing, speaking ......etc
We have TOTAL FREEDOM 
IF we are told or tell someone imperiously  ( colleagues , team members , children)  
Don't do it ,  resistance and rebellion is created 
Instead if we say or are told the same as SHOULDN'T do it there is a better chance of reasoning 
Ultimately we do as  we please and the only true Mentor and Guide is 
The Voice whose pitch and tone is perfect but our hearing can be sometimes flawed .
The Voice also has this irritating habit of saying , at every opportunity it gets  " I told you so " or " Did I not say so ?" 😊😊😊

Friendship

Life was a barren desert
Till along came the Friend
That Oasis of cooling waters
Where every thirst could end

The One who listened
Shared all that was felt
In gratitude to whom
The very being knelt 

When a friend leaves
And sails upon the Tide
There is an emptiness
Where only memories reside

Thoughts that haunt 
Spectres of shared dreams 
Reverberating in hollowness
Once the source of streams

Such is the mirage of life 
That imagined future dear
Which fades into oblivion
As far as it is near
