Entry #9: Don't Mind the Weather

Some days are calm.
Hardly a cloud in the sky.
Inspiration is the norm.
All things are effortless.
Steady.
Then comes the
Cloudy Shit.
Everything is
Jagged,
Painful, and
Awkward.
Something physical
Stomps in, and
Rattles my
Cage; the
Edges of
Reality become
Sharp and
Pressing.
We get a short
Time here, but
Still, some
Moments tick
By that
Seem like
Forever.
Life is one sticky
Wicket; a fine
Friend one day, a mean
Bastard the
Next.
(If you have any
True friends, please,
Count yourself
Lucky)
This life takes
Guts and
Nerves of
Steel, so:
Heal yourself first.
You cannot
Function without this
Body, this
Mind.
Pump your
Arms and
Legs and
Guts.
Sharpen your
Vision, and
Sharpen your
Mind.
Do things here and
There, and
Be the
Doer.
Focus on the daily
Business, in
There is the
Gem.
In the
Midst of that
Thicket,
Burn with that
Fire.
Advance into your
Heart space.
