Q- Because I am alone reverie week 8

“Child too nostalgic and feeling sad

……………………………………………..

Child who never played, child to good

Child whose soul was too caught up in the North

Ah! that noble, that pure child one was

And whom one remembers

All his life…” (Bachelard 130)

 

When you are alone, in paradise, with your thoughts.

with yourself,

will you be free?

 

When you are alone, in paradise, that is where you are

Is that okay with you?

 

When I am not focusing on something that resonates in my heart,

I am constantly seeking and figuring the next move.

 

There are a lot of things that we do in this life that we don’t want to do…

so get used to yourself, in all of your nooks and crannies.

 

There are an infinite amount of people who are going to tell you what to do and how,

and your not going to be able to run away, no matter how far you go.

 

So embrace the spirits that they hold, and figure where you ought to be, right now

what does it feel like to dream of a future in the moment? that is howling with crickets, stars and warm air?

 

You made it princess, sugar babe.

And it is always the same when you go back.

 

You are just the one who will change is all.

 

And no matter how far you go away from your original plan,

your initial story of yourself, or your community, or your dream landscape

 

You will always pick up exactly where you left off

if its worth it anyway

 

So trust the struggle, trust that there is a reason that this story is being played in the way it is

 

Trust yourself to be wild and free, uninhibited by any thought of a thought of what people think of you

 

because it is not even close to being as real as the air and the dirt and the plants

 

And all of your confusion about where to be, where to go, and when, is based on the fact that there are so many beautiful places to be, people to meet, and things to do

 

So, just do. Cause its all beautiful.

 

Every road brings you right back to where you were.

So enjoy the walk, open your eyes— in this very artful moment.
