Something Not Human


I played strange games with candles and boards that talked

Tapped into those who could interpret tarot and remote view

I threw out questions to spirits that could be bad or good, never really knowing

As the boredom of a flat line life eased into a needed rest

My surroundings seemed in real time

I felt a pressing presence at first thinking human

Paralyzed both by fear and physical abnormality

I felt fingers and nails not belonging to man

Something evoking intense fear as it held me prisoner from behind

I wanted to face my monster but not really

I fought to wake up or snag free or worse just give in

I started to scream out the only name what evil cringes at

As my eyes fluttered open and the safe sound of my television brought me back

I wondered if it was just night terror, some nasty dream telling me something

Swallowing an Elephant

You know that joke/riddle How do you eat an elephant? A-One bite at a time. For most that seems to be the most logical.

I am not so blessed to be able to unhinge my jaw and swallow large objects.    My capacity to learn and adapt to familiar things that need to be dusted off and new ways takes more than a day or two. I know the elephant swallowers are in high demand and get cut higher respect but I feel the nibblers are just as worthy. Patience is a skill that has been slacking both in the people who want to try to make a nibbler into a swallower and those who are observing and comparing; even the nibbler wanting to be perfect...

Breathing

When someone asks me how I am I usually respond with okay which means nothing bad or good is going on. When things aren’t so okay I reply with “I’m barely breathing” which means I’m highly stressed out over something. When I listen to meditation videos they always start out with deep breathing, at first, I thought it was kind of silly to concentrate so much on breathing. I also started to notice my breathing when I was stressed out or intensely involved in something. I have two destructive breathing patterns that take place, I either over breath or shallow breathe; sometimes I even subconsciously hold my breath. None of the three poor breathing methods make a happy functioning body. It’s funny to have to learn how to breath properly because it’s something we do automatically.    With some unknown allergies or on and off sinus issues I already face upper repertory struggles at times. When I over breath due to some hidden or not so hidden stress I notice changes in my bod...
