I often get caught up with big, complicated plans and projects and goals, Forget the importance, and magic, of simple things. I rarely say no, accepting suggestions and proposals and recommendations, life things piling up to the sky, wanting to do more, do my share, give, Until I can’t. Until I’ve lost track of the …
Breakthrough
It has happened over and over for decades, most all of my life. Sick and sullen, I feel bad, About resting, About feeling unable to do what seems obvious and normal and automatic for most everyone else, About not doing enough, about taking too long, Sometimes I feel somehow immobilized, stuck in invisible mud, or …
Cave Writings
Huddled in a darkened room in the back of the house. Door closed. Curtains drawn, sunlight dully spilling through. I’m afflicted. Sniffles. Congestion. Cough. It’s midday, but I’ve not left the bed except to get a drink of water, take medicine, or go pee. The space heater is on in the room, making it all …
Sniffles
“Sniffles gone sides, sniffles got me down, Plug along, I plug along, feeling a little frown, Across my face, it spills, taking a few more pills, medicines, I'm reticent to say, not feeling so good today, worse by the hour, Sniffles piling up, they're piling up, as I go down, feeling real down, Lot's to …
Beauty’s Where You Find It
Ah yes, Madonna, preach the truth, sister! “…beauty’s where you find it…” Early morn, Mid-day, Most everywhere…look around…it’s there. [Credit: Scott Murphy] [Credit: jlud]
Dreamline
Dreamline, title from a Rush song, many moons ago, Came to mind just now as I ponder dream I had, Funky, Driving, I was in…a truck…then needing to return the truck…a big white cargo truck, searching, Where to park? Here? There? Then somehow the big white cargo truck turns into massive grey elephant! On a …
Back-To-Back
Back to back intense parenting evenings, what a ride, Not mine to drive, just witness, be present, listen, hold my tongue, unsure what to say, So just in the moment, ready to hold, try to validate, but also mediate the intensity of the moment, I don’t own it, too big for me, just staying in, …
Plug Along
Nothing wrong, just plug along, The days don’t need highlights always, sometimes the phase is just normal, even, and that’s ok, Ok to plug along, plug along.
Dynamo
Converting material to energy, fine, What about emotions? What about suboptimal (or crappy) circumstance? Need a dynamo, be the dynamo, that makes it so, Turn rough to ready, Sticky to smooth, Bad to good, Be the dynamo, GOOD.
Adapt
Another shake with the same stick, theme this presented this past weekend, ADAPT. Life is constantly changing, situations and circumstances constantly changing, ADAPT. Don’t like the current way? Not working so well? ADAPT. Preferred or planned steps tripping you up? That perfect route not working out? ADAPT. GOOD.
