Writing About Life
write against the grain.
resist much, obey little.
when presented with choices,
choose paths
of greatest resistance.
resist the urge
to be still.
stagnation is the gunslinger.
a moving target
is harder to hit.
never ending cycle,
challenge authority,
question norms,
observe, evaluate, adapt,
repeat.
take notes,
you never know when
they will become inspirational.
short pencils, more effective
than long memory.
accept hardship,
for it is assured.
embrace it, weep for it,
then let it take flight
into ether.
celebrate happiness,
hold it close,
for like a diamond
it is precious
and rare.
love everyone,
especially
the unlovable,
for they hide a spark
that few ever see.
appreciate
the privilege of living.
hold it in your hands.
protect it. nurture it.
honor it. worship it.
keep moving.
view the world
from multiple angles.
different perspectives
are enlightening.
if it’s not broken,
break it.
art is often
in rearrangement
of the pieces.
