Mindfully Unemployed

 She left work at 9 AM.

All her things boxed up.

"...Values don’t align with ours...”

Work stopped so abrupt.

 

Unemployed—darn, she thought,

“Here I go, again.

The whole day is before me.

Where to go and when?”

 

“Dismiss dark thoughts. Let them go.

Don’t catastrophize.

Might as well start the job search

That sounds very wise.”

 

The drive home included stops

Grocery store and bank.

Bought fewer things than on list,

Income flow just shrank.

 

Scarcity is a mindset.

Recognize, dismiss.

Replace it with gratitude.

Change your brain like this.

 

In the house, stuff dropped at door.

She unpacked her lunch.

Searched on the computer then.

Full time jobs and such.

 

Can’t take time to wallow, now.

And she’s not upset.

Something in her gut told her

There’s no need to fret.

 

Job options are numerous.

Restaurants and retails,

Drivers, cashiers and desk clerks,

All have job details.

 

“Continue case management?”

She then asked out loud.

Flicker of light caught her eye

A grin was allowed.

 

“Of course, you’re here to help me.

Glad to feel you near.

Need you close for days to come.

Let’s find a career.”

 

Another twinkle of light

Different part of room.

“See you’re flying all around,

Joyful I presume.

 

Help me find where I should be

Which role to pursue.

Thought it was in that last job,

Thought for sure I knew!”

 

Heard some papers hit the floor.

Haven made them fall.

Draw attention to the fact,

Writing should enthrall.

 

“Yes, there’s ample time to write.

And I need a job.

I’ll find a way to do both,

Cash flow is the prob’.”

 

Problems are just a mindset.

Recognize, dismiss.

Replace it with gratitude.

Change your brain like this.

 

Tingling then filled her body

Thanks to Haven’s boost.

“You are right, both can be done.”

A prospect deduced.

 

“Let’s work together, Haven,

To make both occur.

Income and passion pursued,

Great plan, I concur.”

 

Haven is her dragon

Bigger than her cats.

Vibrational entity,

Low vibes it combats.

 

Etheric dragons do fly

In our time and space.

Detect our human feelings.

Intentions they chase.

 

It’s their wings that allow this

With detector nodes.

Sinew membrane is imbibed

So vibes become codes.

 

Which is harder to fathom—

Dragons or their wings?

Observe reaction of mind

To learn some new things.

 

Fireflies’ tails can light up

They’re born with the skill.

Bioluminescent goo

Lets them light at will.

 

Fish have boney otoliths.

Thus, they feel the tides.

Gravity and vibration

Felt in their insides.

 

Elephants, large land mammals,

Who use infrasound,

Send out low frequency vibes.

Feel it in the ground.

 

Possibilities surround,

Weave into our days.

Look beyond our five senses,

Nature will amaze.

 

Perhaps your mind is programmed

To not to believe.

Quantum physics vibration

You, too, can perceive.

 

Keep an open mind and heart.

All’s not spurious.

Observe, learn and inquire

Do be curious.

 

Perhaps you’ll see a dragon

Or sense one nearby.

Feel it barely brush your skin,

Tingle in your thigh.

 

Mesmerizing universe—

Full of fun and play.

Full of unseen energy

For our everyday.
