Matrix Moments

Media Moments: Question, reflect, connect

Destiny Opens

My thoughts 
doorways to future
Opening my destination 
Neurons 
Stimuli
steering my direction,
Step by step 
Opportunity by opportunity 
with the focus 
of my meditations,
I choose
Not to stare into the broken 
But focus on the good 
Putting aside the distractions 
Putting them in flight mode 
Until habits that are life 
Form and Firm,
And in this who I am 
Becomes clearer
clarity shimmers
Pixel by pixel 
image by image,
Until,
I see my true self in God
In his eyes 
my reflection  
In his tears
His twinkle of fun 
His dilated pupils of love
In his heart me...
Princess, prince, child of God.

Starting Thoughts: How much does the power of small decisions open our destiny, our direction and connection with life? Is how we view ourselves is how we see the world?

Return

We join the circling
packs of jackals
Roving in minds
returning again 
and again
to the carrion 
of destructive thoughts,
Snarling in defence
grinning in mangy confidence
growling fangs of attack,
scavenging pride
in the face
of our own disaster
in defiance
of reality.

Starting Thoughts: Sometimes we are slowly, willingly trapped in a circle of destructive thoughts, small choices dwelt on that lead us to places we don't want to go - but do!

Spoken word poem on the destructive thinking we can have

Be Big

The cracks 
spread searing
crazy darkness 
across the facade
of my mind,
Imprinted patterns
of behaviour.
This me 
My fast past.

What are the words
we speak?
to our looks
Our failures, our successes
Is it time to
Realign 
to break free
from thought slavery?

Renewing minds
Allowing Christ
To game change
and build a
Firm foundation.

Set your mind on the kingdom
Shifted minds stillness
Aware of God’s thinking
Purpose
Bow your mind 
Connected, breathing together 
lingering, dwelling with God
impossible possibilities
fearless of death,
Now a Human be-ing.

Prompt
The cracks of life in our minds. So hard to find peace, rest to "be" in the moment.
Finding peace from the cracks in your mind.

Trying to Say

A haunting realness
trapped in me, 
mind encapsulated, 
A shell curled 
buried on the beach,
life hidden 
lonely,
crashing waves around 
non-person in a crowd 
quietness in the rage 
gems in the mud.

I could speak, 
there's something there, 
a hidden seed thought 
a truth
a reality,
I open my lips 
and say something else... 

Lying words on
dreams of 
inner truth.

Prompt
How hard is it to speak the truth? We want to speak the reality, instead we tell the lie.

Fashion Prostitute

Kid laughter
Health and hopes
Young soul warmth
Memory smiles
in the eyes of a child.

This naivety
this innocence
now packaged by parents
dressing children
to kill it
as facades for
fashion sex,
stolen youth
sold to advertising,
Surface beauty
replacing parent duty,
Adult hopes
for beauty
pasted over
next generation trust,
Gluing sex 
to their minds
selling off
their future paths.

Turning children into
Barbie prostitutes.

Starting Thoughts: When we dress children with our own or media driven version of fashion that sexualises them, are we turning innocence into a fashion prostitute?
