To bring goodness today

There is a part in me that's always interested in turning towards negative things.

And yet, there is also something in me that is very different than that.
That thrives on what is positive and what is good.

I have a limited amount of territory in me 
And every single inch of space I cede to the negative 
Is an inch of space that is taken away from what is positive

I cannot act positively or from goodness within that piece of territory.

So I need to come to the details of my life here in the present 
And see what territory I am occupying.
Become very aware of the body.
Mindful of the body and its charge of energy,
Which needs to become increasingly positive within me.

As I acknowledge this force of sensation 
That relates the mind to the body,
I rediscover what it means to engage directly in this moment,
And mindfulness to the body.
And in this moment, the action becomes reciprocal 
Because the body is also mindful towards me.
And together we can form a partnership 
That concentrates the force of positive being here.

A force that by its very nature leads me towards the manifestation of goodness.
And it is this physical action of sensation 
That can lead me directly to the present moment 
Where I can choose what is positive,
See more clearly what is negative,
And make an effort to acquire a force in myself
That points every action I take 
Towards something more positive 
Than the selfish impulses I usually have.

I begin to see that I am able to act in very small things
Here within my actual life to be more effective,
More affirming,
More positive,
And not to dwell on that which is destructive 
Or leads my attitude downwards
Towards things that don't relate to goodness.

I wish from here within my sensation 
To attain and sustain this positive charge of being 
So that I can serve others and myself better 
Here within this immediate moment,
Not turning my attention outwards towards the great affairs of the world
Which almost all take place in my imagination.

No,
I turn my attention towards my sensation 
And the affairs of the present moment,
The smallest things here and now,
Which deserve my attention so much.

To this place, my aim is to bring goodness today.
