wander…
minds do it, i do it. i feel like it right now. just start walking and go someplace new, someplace i’ve been before, anywhere, just to include motion.
motion…
the ability to keep moving, with the potential to be kinetic. free or in a system. direct or scenic route. either can be bliss.
bliss…
minds get tired, but only lapsing for the moment. the activity of daily rituals drains minds of anything tangible. and i stare into space, thankful to just be sitting for a moment, unreflective. and yet here comes the reflection. but what noun do i choose?
stand on top of a ladder, look out to sea, if you happen to be on a coastline. take in the sights and the sounds as the area around you assaults what you may perceive. the crash of the surf, the glitter of the sea with the sun upon it’s semi-permeable surface. feel the squeak of sand as you sprint towards the ocean at frightening speeds. as the seagull calls, stop. glancing up, notice the sky, and how the ocean looked infinite.
words try to form but get caught by cubes and pyramids, thing slightly more tangible. not the words, the feeling. the noise, the environment. lackadasical at best. something bad at worst. concieve that which you can hold your head in place and follow through. always with the follow through. keep the shoulders steady, the arms at ready, the hands in a claw, ready to grasp. in that moment , you are ready. in others, no. ready for what? anything. ready? no. ready? not yet. ready? almost. ready? stop pestering me already i’ll get to it when i can. ready? …am i?
no. i mean yes. i mean i don’t know. willpower shaken, questions ripping rifts open to see what lay beyond, some questions rip a little, some a lot and with how much force.
force…
make it happen, despite being ready or not. last person to find the can of sardines has to be the next.an echo chamber, a cacophony, a distraction. where the knapsack can be dropped for a spell, and a nap under an oak tree. real or imagined? doesn’t matter, really. step. step. step. one foot in front of the other. one idea after the next. and progress. make it a daily habit, and you’ll soon see the results you crave. and deserve. keep it in the mix.
tired…
