Digesting it all….

Slipping July 10, 2008

Sliding.  Greasing the rails for purpose.  For rescue.  Rescue back the the things I love.  Rescue back the best parts of what and who I am.  Rescue the sinking dream.  Without pushing, without laboring, without forcing it.  Without pain.  Slowly, slowly, slowly go.  Slowly yet back the narrowest toll.  Slowly now and slowly again.  Slowly I find the effortless gain.

 

In ma.  In peace.  In breath.

 

Maneuvering.  Sic, mandating.  Vis a vis.  When once the time has come again time it shall be.  Again.  But never yet not yet.  To see I must wipe the distractions from my face.  The skin and the drink, the doldrums and the sink.  The narrowest slit of a needle eye, but bright and full and beaconing me.  The swell has found me, and caught me, and in it I now pass onward.  Time distances all things but death, ever closing, ever winning.  And so to myself I mutter in conspicuous capitulation: Head up man, lets do what we’re here to do.
