The View from Here

You should see the view from here. It's amazing! I've never seen anything quite like it.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying anything against your view Or saying you need to experience mine But I am telling you that I'm in a good place now.

It's not always as lovely as I'd like to tell you it is. But it's always a view. Many are new and looking back, the ones that didn't seem so great at the time are starting to make sense.

Let me set the scene: It's dark here with glimpses of light like the moon and stars Buried in the dirt, but not dead. Far from it. I'm growing, like a seed.

It feels comforting and uncomfortable at the same time. This dichotomy feels peaceful. Wherever there is one, I know the other is likely to follow. Because how can we know how one feels without knowing its opposite?

It's warm and cool, wet and dry, spacious and cramped.

I feel all the feelings here, think all the thoughts, and let them all go.

I am healing, and that's what makes the view so grand. It may not sound that great if you've never done it - or never had to - but know that I'm in a good place here. It may not always be where I want to be, but I can tell it's where I need to be. It feels right.

Sometimes, it's painful, and there's no getting around that. But everything is temporary, and the pain will eventually pass.

Mine has been a long time coming. And I may say, "I should have done this sooner." But you know what? I couldn't have done it sooner. I wasn't ready for it then. My time is now.

If you need it, your time will come, too. When you're ready, it will be waiting.

When was the last time you looked at the sky, just for the sake of looking at the sky?

When was the last time you looked at the sky, just to admire its colors?

When was the last time you looked at the clouds? Tried to find shapes and creatures and stories hidden in them?

When was the last time you noticed the way the light strikes the clouds, creating brightness and contrasting shadows?

When was the last time you looked into the night sky?

When was the last time you wished upon a star floating in the night sky? Waved to the man in the moon shining among the stars?

Do you have a minute to look at the sky today?

driftwood

Started off strong, as a ship at sea Cutting through waves like you wouldn't believe Pitching and rolling like it was a game And laughing about it like I was insane

Then one night a storm blew through I couldn't hold myself together like I used to be able to do Now I'm broken up into pieces Drifting through the sea and

I'm a piece of driftwood

Going with the flow since I lost my power What I used to be is no longer there Nowhere else to go but where the current takes me

Hard to let it all go Because I wanna control it

Been drifting for days... maybe weeks? Maybe years? It's been so long And you can't see the tears They match the salt water so it's a relief

Finally let it all go No need to try to control it

One day low tide went rolling out Left me on a beach What a change! The sand is a drought I guess I'm done floating aimlessly Time to pick myself up And face the sea

When I turned towards land couldn't believe my eyes Now I know I'm ready for another try Lived so many lives before getting here I took the exchange, dried my tears

I'm a piece of driftwood

Battered and worn Used to be rough around the edges, but the sea wore them down Looking at my shape I'm not the same as I was before Now I see that I can be so much more Taking my heart out of that shell that was broken down and beaten right after that storm

I can build myself into something brand new Making my own plans; I'm my own design now Keeping what I want And let the other parts drown

It took all my strength to let go of the past And not let it define me because I would not last

I would not be me The me I want to be If I hadn't become A piece of driftwood

Some days I feel that this has happened before So many ships Before so many storms How many lives have I lived from here? The more I do this, the less I fear

Now?

Now?

No, now is not a good time Later would be better

Always later - But not now

If I do it now, it will be done Then what will I do later? But if I wait till later, I can spend all of now anticipating Waiting Thinking Overthinking Expecting Worrying Creating thousands of ways that it could turn out later Daydreaming Planning Wondering

So many ways to spend my time now, If only we could do this later.

I'm quite busy at the moment, getting ready for later.

I will see you later, to carry out these plans.

But when later becomes now I may have to postpone... Too much anxiety from the anticipation from the waiting the thinking the overthinking expecting worrying creating daydreaming planning wondering

I am exhausted!

Maybe we can do this later?

The Abyss

I am the abyss.

They say if you stare long enough into the abyss, it will stare back at you.

I am a walking abyss.

They stare long enough and look away when I stare back.

It's not me.

It's what they see.

I show them a reflection of themselves. 

Many don't like what they see.

Some contemplate with curiosity, while others accept it as is.

But most don't want to.

Looking too deeply can cause great pain.

It's the knowing that gets you.

Ignorance is bliss. 

Living in ignorance is the common excuse, though not justified. 

It's easier to stay the same and keep the inertia. 

Changing directions takes time and effort and forces other changes.

It may not be easy, but many find it to be worth it.

Admitting you are wrong.

Letting new information guide you.

Allowing this change to flow.

It will follow. 

It will get easier.

Starting is the hardest part. 

Create the new inertia. 

Follow the new flow.

I am the abyss.

If you stare into me, will you like what you see?

If you have looked before, and look again later, will what you see be the same each time?

I am the abyss.

I reflect you.

I am you.

Do you dare dive into my depths and explore what you have been hiding all this time?

Do you know what's there?

Do you want to know?

I am the abyss.

Follow me.
