Branches That Define Our Lives

A person's human life may be defined by branches that cling to the trunk of a trees, but whose branches spread far and wide. The question becomes not how far and wide they spread, but do they point upward--upward to higher levels of thought? Are the branches center-focused? Do they adhere to One Mind, One God?
The video below was designed to generate self-analysis and self-elevation. It speaks of thoughts defining the true nature of man--man created by God. According to Moses, that man is "made in the image and likeness of God." His consciousness is divine; words inspirational and actions pure. Are you that man?
Define Your Branches
Written by Dr. Mamie Smith
Stand before a looking glass,
Ask yourself what you see,
Do you accept, do you pass?
Are you what you’d like to be?
Analyze the measuring stick
You hold firmly in your hand,
Is it a tool love would pick,
Or one a peaceful mind would ban?
Now’s the time to make a choice
Of the good and the bad.
Will you shun the evil voice
Shouting words to make you mad?
Do you smile when words berate
Other people unlike you?
Agree with messages of hate
Of the old and the new?
Closed lips when lies are spread
On policies you disagree,
Consequences you don’t dread
Results are what you want to see.
Cries of “Murder, hang and kill,”
You pretend not to hear
Swallowing such a small pill
Is worth the “prize” you hold dear.
Nothing triumphs loss of power
In this one… defining hour.
Meta Rose hopes the message of Dr. Mamie Smith gives 'food for thought." Each day is an opportunity to move your "branches" higher and higher until they reach compassion, empathy, forgiveness, joy and dominion over the physical senses and gain the ever-lasting light of the spiritual senses.
