Aim for Living

Today is not like any other morning
It is not the past nor the future of any of my thoughts
For it is now.
It is consciousness
It is the intention of awake
to all that I do... all that I am
I wander not in my dreams
But in the state of here and now
I look to find nothing
that which is not in front of me
I am the conscious being
Who witnesses all that arises in me
Right now
Not tomorrow or yesterday
So for this moment
I am awake
Awake to my fingers on this key pad
Awake to the distractions
The centers that find an awakening
And I see them NOW
I am fully here to what is
Fully feeling all that is in me
And all the hormones
that dance within me
Like the classical of ballets
I witness
I take them in
Not to distract myself
But give it its space
to find itself within me
And with this I dance not in a dream
But in the reality of this moment
and pause every certain amount of moments
and check in
From mechanical being
To an awakened being.

Synopsis:
I woke up this morning feeling inspired. This came from a reading and meditation.    I gave my mind, body and emotions a little space in meditation. Then some inspiration from the book In Search of the Miraculous by Gurdjieff.  I am beginning to realize the importance of starting my day with some sort of spiritual inspiration, and meditation.  So today, I feel like really observing myself, really being as much as possible.  This is my aim today.  This is my conscious aim.  I want to bring light to my mechanical or robotic self.  Right now.  And appreciate this moment.
Thank you to my mentor, my group of support, and everyone who reads this.  For this all inspires me to write more.
May you find your inspiration today.
