Walls


Maybe I should just ignore you

Instead of running around and around

Maybe I should pretend you don’t exist

And enjoy my feet touching the ground

You might never stand still long enough

To hear me enter your orbit

You come off so sexy and mysterious

But I’m able to see through all your shit

There will come a day

When you are surrounded by suffocating silence

You will remember the words I spoke

And feel the impact of what they meant

For as long as the sun and moon

Reflect and give off light

I still believe with all my heart

That you and I were both wrong and right

I will try to pull magic and wonder

From not you but someone else

Until I feel as comfortable yet inspired

I will live with just myself

Maybe I should be thankful

That you finally completed your wall

You went as far as you wanted

Then just ended it all

Hey, I’m doing okay without you

All this give and take has made me stronger

My fifteen minutes I thought was gone

Has gone on a little longer

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...
