Time and again I try....maybe I can succeed today

How do we take that first step if our footsteps are heavily laden?

How can we enlist our mind to release us from entrapment, whereby we have become too tired, listless, without the wherewithal and unable to find enough get up and go to get going and gone.

Take me on a journey in my mind

to a place of certainty

I will take a step

persuasion punctuates me

step up to the plate of thoughts

ride the goblet to a calm lagoon

 

Well, fair enough you might say, still how do I do this....?

 

What is it you want?

 

I want the breeze in my hair

to feel the warmth of a close friend

to shake hands with myself

introduce someone to someone else

to absolve loneliness

What is it you feel?

 

I feel weary

my legs are heavy

my mind is corroding

I want to be enlivened

to detach the gum from my shoe

unhook the line and roll it out



 

What are you thinking right now?

 

I need to try

to slot the coin

to kick the ball in the net

tread on the cracks in the pavement

jump in the puddles

shout out for joy to pay me a call

 

How would you choose to think/be?

 

I invite the unknown

choose it from the menu

fold my arms in a different direction

toss a coin and know it will work out

I want to wave at strangers

smile at improbability

fight for the cause

free the frozen challenge

raise my arms for courage

 

 

Well the journey into you or I has begun....writing the questions and answering them might begin release.  Knowing what it is we want is a certain beginning, it can increase a sense of who we are.  Taking action as opposed to remaining stuck, if only a little nudge in the right direction, will employ momentum...like a pendulum swinging, it has to begin somehow.

So take the challenge of beginning....little by little, or tune into that right turn you've been avoiding...search out the direction it takes.
