Training

the mind is absolute empty space
for configuring outlook
with no particulars dictated
the vision of what is to be limited
only by the adopted view

having a point of view
is all contamination
based upon past—
a defender—
a response—
a witness FOR anything

trained by my past to expect
the worst, this frees me
to reconfigure
(if configured at all)
for the most positive
in self and others
regardless of habitual evidence
