filled to the brim
with a pulsing anxiousness
that feels like an agitated ant colony on
the move
I tap in to most all things in my
loving kindness toolkit
to get me through my day<\/p>\n\n\n\n
or is it
re-
considering
the art of curating a romance
with
oneself<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the creative life<\/p>\n\n\n\n
not
writing
the, who should even care
of it all
versions I suppose of
who do you even think you are
and all manner of weaker partners to
imposter syndrome
where I can promise you, this is not
a fishing exercise for compliment
rather,
an emptying of one\u2019s
head
of
nonsense
anxieties of the over thinker<\/p>\n\n\n\n
all hail ego
greed, dominance, bravado
conquer, search and
destroy
and on the constant
where fear and outrage are over-programmed as
automatic response<\/p>\n\n\n\n
creative things
like art, books, music, to reading and to
writing
to drawing one\u2019s gaze to
beautiful things, made by hand
by
hands
by nature, by some kind of divine
intention<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to the light<\/p>\n\n\n\n
what it touches, and how it
illuminates<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in tender things
carrying
the cries
of
all<\/p>\n\n\n\n
bits of snow float down from the spruce tree
catching the light
in
glittering showers
a bird flies past the window
that\u2019s been filled with a flood of
bright sunlight
a quick flash, a silhouette
of wings in
flight<\/p>\n\n\n\n
of my own <\/p>\n\n\n\n
