Thoughts in the Spotlight

Maud Raman

A curling tendril of a grapevine

responding to the impulses of light

growing, seeking

so too do we react from emotions that arise

from the impulses of unconscious thoughts

Strong thoughts that make you angry and

trigger intense reactions

Just as those grapes will ripen more fully

with greater warmth from the sun

Reactions from unconscious patterns

set the tone

for what unfolds in the world around you

When we shine light on those thoughts

and make them clear and sunlit

that is the first step,

to help steer our own course,

to take the reins into our own hands

and write a scenario shaped by our choices,

loved, read, and approved
