Can I allow joy and happiness? Can I "let, allow, relax, trust and be"? Or, will I sabotage my happiness and joy? To have gentle loving kindness for the self opens the doors for awakening and healing, as well as allowing our natural state of joy and happiness to re-emerge. Trust allows us to switch negative vibrations to positive - from fear to joy.
Arriving at a safe place to trust our inner voice and other individuals' motivations is a learned behaviour. Survival skills are a neccesity in a human's life, whether a child or adult. Suspicion is a familiar protective barrier and serves as a purpose. Sometimes it is warranted, sometimes I have to take time out and search within myself to see whether it is just my old automatic behavior patterns. The more we check our thoughts, the more we are able to connect to and trust our innate wisdom, and bring out our Spirit's natural state - one of joy, happiness and inner peace.

Allowing Happiness
by HaliJo Webster
I wish to bewail about
this feeling inside.
It is uncharted and lasting much too long.
I am getting suspicious?
Could be mania!
I scan for some defective signs
but,
come up empty.
This is revolutionary!
I breathe and I feel
a tingle in my tongue,
a connection to my feet
that seems so close to my head.
This could be what 'grounded' feels like,
or,
maybe I'm going to have a seizure and faint.
A wholeness surrounds me.
This feeling I'd better share with someone
for it might not last long.
Hours pass,
day turns into night.
Happiness is still here,
this calming joy.
A turning of sorts inside my mind,
I search meticulously
to find some seed that is shady,
But
no deadend dream
or chaotic presence,
no anxiety, nightmare,
or past
that's swallowing me
while I'm awake.
I scrutinize all around for
the bomb
and any weapons of mass destruction,
but I sense no thing.
I search everywhere,
but the hypocrisy
is extensive.
I hunt some more,
and still am unable to find it anywhere!
It is always here in some form,
of an exaggeration, overstatement, magnification,
misrepresentation, distortion, coloring,
trumped-up, false fiction, contradiction,
whose name is...
SABOTAGE!
Now I have done it
Oh, I really authentically done it
I truthfully, unquestionably, intrinsically and
matter of factually will see repercussions for this!
I've done and got myself out of the way!
Joy 's with me now.
Imagine that!

Departure
by HaliJo Webster
You have chosen unhappiness
I shall not want.
You have chosen loneliness,
I shall be alone and free.
You have chosen to be blind,
I shall walk away with eyes open.
You have chosen to be deaf,
I shall sing sadly out loud.
then
we shall each find joy!
With understanding.

Shit Unveiled
by HaliJo Webster
It has occurred to me that you are ALL!
You really are connecting with the oneness!
You did not sleep on a bed of nails
ready to target me!
I am having trouble believing your kindness is true!
I have been in a thought space of negatives and processing horrors daily!
You come like a fresh flower in bloom!
I wish to welcome your essence.
I wish to encompass it ALL!
I wish to be free of thoughts of psychological pain and woe.
Most are accentuated by mindless babble and added emotion of ill health
and
desires not met.
Ugliness has away of growing!!!
Shit piles up!!!!!
Cutting off the creativity and soul support of spiral.
Shit is still a stench to my soul
and I can smell it through the flowers you
offer.
Could be I am not ready to accept the presents?
Oh, make me an instrument to choose my soul's will!
Allow the golden spiral of rejuvenation connect my thoughts...
Release me of the mind torment of the
yesteryears, days and moments,
That which is no longer,
That which leaves a pile of shit on my soul,
That which I wish to purge in one healthy sitting on the golden throne!
When my soul is cleansed,
I will weigh less, mind more,
and my soul will lift to be free of shit and what was.
Shit unveiled.
