How do I know when I’ve reached my mind?

Such intelligence is not something you build but a substance you find.

Enlightenment is found on a retreat from sustained ignorance and conformity.

No separation can be made on a common path followed for such a path is taken normally.

How do I know when I’ve had my day?

Acceptance of uncertainty, to surf is to be constantly prepared, should this be my wave.

Gravity is the same irrespective of perception, views created by man attach balloons to the grounded.

The day you look like you’ve lost your mind to the masses, you’ve finally found It.

When you pause on a mountain there’s a vast path to the peak, to turn back isn’t short either.

Distance will not depend on earthly metrics but rather if the mind is one of an achiever.

To quit may be quick but life is long when you sell yourself short.

Life is not a game but It is the ultimate sport.  

you see we’re aging, people are getting married, having sons and daughters.

Some people hate this but the best parts of any sport are the 3rd and 4th quarters.

I made It this far off of effort & a good coach, at long last, I know the rules.

If your life was a 30 for 30, would It be a bland cookie cutter path or would there be an actual jewel?

I’ve realized the end of an earthly life isn’t the fear, we fear what we will be thinking when we die.

I don’t know about you, but I’m terrified to arrive there knowing I didn’t try.

When your time is free, what do you do with It? These birthdays feel like timeouts but the clock is still ticking.

Dreams unrealized are the only things we should be concerned with missing.

Hocus Pocus,

I’m super focused.

Globalization + a declining reserve currency? This time was meant to be mine.

Knowledge & magic intertwined, I'm like Seneca  & Michael Marcus in their prime.

Please don’t reach out to me.

Think too much Harry Potter got to me.

Trading too ease, I’m plucking them out by the 3’s.

I always felt like just 5 days was disrespectful to the beach.

Freedom shouldn't feel like something we have to sneak.

You get what I mean?

There’s no I, but I’m pretty sure I can put the M behind my team and….

I waited my turn, didn’t ever get jealous.

I’m bald, I hope you don’t notice the swelling.

If the stock go down, you know that I’m selling.

Poet turned wizard, I doubled my spelling.

& I’m not worried bout a crash or It snapping

Cause Plucky gone be short when It happen.

Show me your friends, I’ll show you your future, everybody numbers up.

Best friend a world champion, I’m a wizard aka the runner up.

Life is a time where you truly only need one chef in the kitchen.

The real chefs conjure with what they have, spending no time on what’s missing.

Imagine your kitchen, what would you make if you had the ability to improvise like Ramsey?

So why do you pray with doubt, surely God can make your dreams with what you have can’t he?

The pessimist sees a pigeon where the optimist sees a dove.

Pick up those pots, heat up that oven, and grab some gloves.

I see friends in the pantry, breathe, youth, and all that love.

Your glass is  half full with those ingredients? You have enough.

Every breath I measure the zeal in my lungs & I feel like Tai Lung.

Careful to not confuse the universe with my tongue, I take back most wishes I’ve flung.

All but one, to make the best risotto you need to focus and constantly stir.

That which is, was wished until It were.

In a prison of my own making, I dream of my freedom, of the moment when the villain returns.

The child rejected by the village is usually the spark that causes said village to burn.

One usually meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid It.

Pain is something the Batman embraced but the Joker enjoyed It.

I’ve given myself so many placebos, is It drugs or is It my mind?

How many people who say “I don’t know” in a day can you find?

Fear not, just like everything else in my life, I will wait.

Gaze upon long lines for everything, except the work required to be great.

Once free I can not promise to even watch my puppy finish It’s bone.

For Tai Lung came to take everything once he came home.

Magic isn’t just something Elves made up.

Love is something that novels, TV, and social media made tough.

the right connections aren’t labor but, ironically they just work, scarcity is a thought to divorce.

Extinction is the one prerequisite to sustained loneliness, else wise go to the source.

For if you fell in love with an erudite, make the library a place where you dine and camp.

There are those in wheelchairs who agonize over stairs, and those who search for ramps.

If you loved nurses maybe your next spark can be found in your next cold.

Wax can either hinder your ability to hear or act as a base to the new flame your wick will hold.

My point being is if you lost your favorite blonde you can fly to Norway, or pout in Phoenix.

But one thing is clear, the people who truly want something, we can tell they mean It.
