When the world spins out….

November 2, 2016 by

Thoughts while obsessing about the the craziness, best-non-american-actors-and-actresses-5
violence, and suffering of this world.

Inertia descends.
I fear movement
Will crack

something open and
Things will ooze out,
Or worse, maybe in….

Occupy time
Wait
Become invisible

But it’s not enough.
Searching for answers,
understanding fails.

I know how to set
goals, visualize.
I don’t.

Trapped, not
wanting to admit
the world is shaking.

Needless to say, obsessing is not useful, uplifting nor something to cultivate. It does happen. I strive to notice its effect and then, move on.

    Thanks, Barb. I’ve been feeling the same — tired, bogged down, dizzy, hopeless. Letting it be. Being with.

    You sound like a spinning child looking up into the clouds with your heart sailing around on a short kite string. I love the part about becoming invisible being “not enough”! I used to wish I could become invisible when I was little but my Mother could always find me and then, all Hell would break loose!!!!!!!

    Isn’t the spinning what keeps the whole thing going together, unfolding, transforming? Isn’t the destruction the needed preparation for the construction?
    I am glad you are obsessing. It is the fire that burns the blister that teaches the finger not to be in the fire.

    Pitch it. Bitch it. Ditch it. Witch it. Which it. Blitz it.

    I am going to see the trees Saturday, Hear the birds, Let the sunshine in. I am going to let my soul fly free with the red tail hawks and sense out the hiding deer bedding down on the island.

    I pray God will spare me from UNNECESSARY SUFFERING, strengthen me for the GOOD FIGHT and fill my heart with MUCH JOY. I pray the same for you, Barb.
