528: How Long?
The stars grow frantic I feel.
Compelling me to you with severest insist.
And I know I must but can’t shake the rotting that crawls in and bonds my days and years in distraction.
What is in the dirt that so with the sky compares?

526: Stay in touch
How are you?
You’ve rarely written of late and I’m beginning to wonder if you are on you’re checklist also.
Are you well?
I like it when you stop by, your presence is important and greatly enjoyed.

525: Flow
Present and open, the exquisite machinery of the experience.
Suspending judgements, all out roads merge inward.
Face turned to the sensory rain.
Wide eyes and soul agape
Flow.

524: Serenity
I know the reaction I typically take in these situations, and I’m not going to do it this time.
I’m also going to remove this stimulus from my life in the future as well.

Never under compulsion, out of selfishness, without forethought, without misgivings. No surplus words or unnecessary actions. Let the spirit in you represent a man. Taking up his post like a soldier and patiently awaiting his recall from life. Needing no oath or witness. Cheerfulness. Without requiring other people’s help. Or serenity supplied by others. To stand up straight, not straightened.
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

507: These daily
See that your principles remain.
Value over Resistance.
Enable, rather than do.
Initiate, or delay.
