inspiration doesn’t require
explaination,
when sat upon our souls
we transform. Recognized.
guidance welcome
acceptance voluntary
but, we strive to belong
somewhere or to someone
and in wanting we lose foundation. Consumed.
inspiration lost
desperation born
recognizing ourselves
and our vision
becomes impossible,
leaving the impetus expired.

Thank you for reading.

I guess the key is to not lose sight of ourselves. But that’s so hard sometimes.
Excellent.

I believe you’re correct, Dan. So. Hard.
My grandma had two sayings:
“Don’t put the cart before the horse.”
&
“You sure you wanna hitch yourself to that wagon?”
Thank you, Dan.

I like that second one. That was my father’s way of telling me he didn’t approve of a new friend.

New friends. I have developed quite the easy going conversation with my kids about those choices. Smiles. I’m proud of who they spend time with these days.
