Awareness Notes... Poem by Eric Cockrell

what we are talking about today
is living in awareness, the costs
of our actions and inactions, and
not being owned by the things we possess.

what it comes down to is responsibility,
and the vision and knowledge to make
good choices.... conscious living.

living with respect... for all living
beings, for the costs and results of
our own actions... for every breath
that goes into each moment, for every
sacrifice that goes into meeting each need!
