Haiku of the Day (Missing the Message)

It's hard to get the
Message when our attention's
On the messenger.

When we focus on
The messenger we tend to
Ignore the message.

The mind is prone to
Focus on the messenger
And miss the message.

Re: "So Richard, are you saying that you do not over-think, judge, analyze and apply labels to people, places and things?"

It would seem a higher context for what is being shared here is in order to "remove the messenger" (which is what actually happens in any Purely Creative Act) as an impediment to receipt of the actual Message:

In this spirit, should you (or others) be interested in pursuing 35 years worth of said context, here's a link to a 2006 book entitled: "Out of My Mind and Back to My, the Object of Life is to Find Out Who I Am Before Time Runs Out." It's a pure labor of love I am fond of calling "a 40 year State of the Head Message"; one that includes an extensive selection of the "flow of consciousness stuff" in varying format -- abstracts, poetry, metaphors, sayings, journal notes and hay-ku -- that is the true source of what's being shared here (and has been since a 1978 epiphany).

[Rich Note: If you do elect to read it, however, I would recommend first reading Appendix A and I, the Preface and Intro, in that order, as expanded background and context for the insights expressed both here and in the book. Neither would I read too much at any one time, as what is offered is more than a thousand different conceptual triangulation points (or direct portals), in multiple mediums, to "One Self-Same Truth at the Heart of All."]
