What are we but a continuum of experiences?
A whirlpool
Each and every experience,
experienced though our filters
Through our lens that is
moulded by our previous experiences
and our beliefs about them
And on it goes…
a whirlpool
Looping,
over and over
Sculpting certainty in our beliefs and opinions
Amplifying our egos and identities
Fortifying our inferences about our next experience
And on it goes…
a whirlpool
Looping,
over and over…
In continuum!
Walid recently rediscovered his passion for writing when he came across some poems which he had written more than 20 years ago.
Walid receives inspiration when spending time in nature and when reading or listening to authors like Alan Watts, Carl Gustav Jung, Fritjof Capra, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Gregg Braden, Bruce Lipton, Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Wayne Dyer, Denis Waitley and Anthony Robbins.
He also finds that he unveils deep insights and reflections when writing speeches that he delivers at his local Toastmasters’ public speaking club.
Rumi said, “there is a voice that doesn’t use words… listen”. When we spend time in nature, and when we read and write about subjects we resonate with, we begin to hear the whispers of our inner voice.
