quantity

of all the reasons

to keep from doing,

this one has got you

in a bind, you’ve started

to believe in everything

but yourself &

all that energy my friend,

it takes time.

 

now, time is not something

you get more of, time is

not something that they will

successfully sell you

(at least not yet) & so,

for the moment, what you

see is what you get, but what

you know is not all you

can learn, with so much

out there, with so much

to find, to stop looking at

this point seems a bit,

how shall we say,

f*****g stupid.

 

it’s the quantity of

experience, the process of

the doing, the numerous

flashes of light & not

to dwell or discern on

the individual bursts

as if to think that the last

one you presently have

seen will be the last one &

to relish---

too much thinking

not enough doing

judge ourselves by our

actions & not by our

ideas who may never make it

off the drawing board.

 

being kind to the artist inside,

being kind to the personality

that flourishes,

being kind to the heart that

wants to beat,

being kind to the mind that

wants to know

just what it is like to stop

worry about what it is like to

express oneself &

live.
