Massive

The day was off to an inauspicious start, late and lost and without my Crack I raced across the city with my anxiety barely in check. Days like today are hard to keep in perspective, the loss and uncertainty are so close to mind, the abuse never far behind. But today worked out I think and for that I'm thankful.

To keep moving forward I've learned that the words I've said, the lip service I've paid, has not fallen on totally deaf ears. To accept uncertainty and accept that it can go the other way is a major challenge but the only option for keeping on track.

I've said before and I'll say again, and if you believe or not in higher powers matters not, buchra ensha Allah. Make what you can of every day and let the unknown be, without fret or bother for what might not be real.

If life is full of doubts and fears then you'll mire in the brackish swamps of the mind and only glimpse the world that lives beyond. Tomorrow has come and past a thousand times and I wasn't ready to accept it's terms, today again presents a chance to jump right in and be.

It's time to move, not able to finish but understanding the path laid out.

Before we're able to address any of these issues individually, we must first ask ourselves, what's the root cause of so much suffering? In a word, dysfunction. The level of suffering is increasing, dysfunctional families have become the norm, the mental health pandemic is fueling ubiquitous self-medication in all stratum of our socioeconomic paradigm. Dysfunction begets dysfunction, how do we fight an onslaught which comes from with...

It was a stranger who told me about you, the ways in which you help She said a lot that day, she made me think, she understood She knew she did, what’s in my head, maybe better than I. It moved me so, this stranger with the compassion for I, someone she’d only just met Someone she’d never met in reality yet could offer up advice so sage and true How ironic that she hid her puffy eyes and yet brought tears to mine. The more I learned the more drawn I felt By someone who seems to know me Know me so well and so instinctively The more I read the more I saw our pain was quite akin So here I am again, wondering and wandering Too many things to contemplate too many trains to catch It’s time to move on, forge a path for better or worse Stay true, head up and honest And time will tell what’s in the mirror Days pass by and scattered thoughts collect here It’s time to retreat and tend the wounded The future is in his hands and my strength is what he needs Gentle and active Understanding and learn...

Coming of Age

The whales at play they make big waves Dance with ease on clear blue seas 20 tonnes to pirouette Now that’s a sight you’ll not forget The wolf cubs wrestle growl and bite Instinct teaches life’s mean plight The young hunter’s time will come When sad destiny destroys his innocence And hunger reigns o’er his kingdom
