Success often comes
from taking a misstep in the right direction.
It doesn't matter the size of your audience,
it doesn't matter if the world is counting how many times you've failed
It doesn't matter how often you've stay awake in days,
it doesn't matter if the world criticize your gifts as lame. Accept the challenges,
so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.

DO NOT DWELL ~ BUT THAT'S A MEMORY

Do not dwell  ~  but that's a Memory...

TIME  ...  even time seemed simple when i was young.
I never had to looked at the clock.  My mom would, call from the foot of the stairs...TIME to get up....sometimes twice. After breakfast it's TIME to leave for school....

TIME for lunch teacher would say.... so I'd walk home to Mac and cheese.. or grilled cheese and tomato soup. Then again mom called out it's TIME to leave.

Supper TIME she call....and at the table we ALL sat. Can you imagine that? We ALL sat down together to eat supper...

Then after i washed dishes, I'd go out to play and as i walked out the door i would hear my mom shout out "be home before the street lights come on"  no set TIME just before the street lights come on... if late GROUNDED...

Do not dwell  ~  but that's a Memory...

Now a cell phone takes the place of a mom...it sends a beep beep beep TIME to get up...   at lunch and supper it will notify you as to time and where to go...sometimes twice... why it even tells you when to take your pills.. at bedtime you set it to Pandora music station and you set it to turn off.... simple? Maybe but i like mom best...

Do not dwell  ~  but that's a Memory...

Ana

I still find myself wanting you.

Why is it that I feel so good inside when absolutely nothing is inside of me?

Something I found in my old papers from 2011.

The closed door
That replaced you
Is lacking in your allure
But in having a handle
It's much more secure

What's in a title?

What's in a title?

If you can't be creative with it,
it isn't worth pursuing.

If you can't help but be creative with it,
it is inescapable; seems 'tis thy fate;
so you might as well embrace it
and face it
and overcome it
and incorporate it
so that you can healthily and constructively
express it.

What if it was titled 'untitled?'
What if the title is irrelevant to the message?
What if it is relevant? Would the meaning change?

Observe that dialogue, should ye find one.
Therein lies the Self.
