In Observation Mode


I understand that life is not fair

I agree that both good things and bad things

Happen for a reason

I grind my teeth at disorganized organizations

Raise my brow and twist my face

Concerning personal and business ethics

I can wrap my mind around why people do what they do

All of us at some point have had something traumatic happen

That threw us off course of normal

I am now convinced that most of where we are or end up

Is one part predestined and the other half personal responsible

I tire of those who know right from wrong but choose wrong

Who screw up their life then make everyone else accountable

I also know that I can’t alter perceptions like I want

If something or someone is not directly affecting me

I need to unlock my teeth and spirit from it and move on

Much easier said than done

I am driven sometimes out of spite

Often grounded to insight from need

Regardless of whether I am vocal or quiet in shadow

I am always observing and learning

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...
