Dear Myles:

I like your song. I too do not believe in  telekinesis (the supposed ability to move objects at a distance by mental power/ nonphysical means)- this is why our thoughts do not have power unless we act on them. Lots of people suffering from OCD believe their thoughts do have power and they try to neutralize their supposed dangerous power by performing certain rituals. But I may be digressing.

I like these principles in your poem, titled Telekinetic (We’re Not.):

1. Honesty (“I just appreciate your honesty”)

2. No hostility (“We just talking, we don’t need no hostility”)

3. Working on problems, in the context of a relationship (“When we have a problem, let’s work it out”)

4. Empathy and (reasonable, mutual, worked out) compromise in relationships (“Compromise and empathy, that’s what love’s about”)

5. Personal responsibility (“That means I own my dirt/ And that means you do too”)

6. Accepting our human imperfection (“And it’s okay because we’re both human”)

You asked: “how do you ground yourself so that you can follow your intuition and be true to yourself without being inconsiderate?” – be considerate to yourself and to the other person, not to yourself or to the other person. Or as the Shakespearean quote goes: “to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.”
