I am continually trying to remember
that life is something to practice, that I cannot read or think my way out of the messy act of sitting down and trying. ...and trying, and trying (but that's where the learning and the life is, perhaps) - Atlas

but at the end of the day
you still have to do it, don't you? or face the consequences of not doing it. you can't just stay in a little bubble of "fine" forever. sometimes I feel like I'm better at handling fallout than I am at preventing it. I'd like to work on that - Atlas I want to accept my mistakes,
but also the responsibility that comes with them. rather than flinching away from the places where I need to grow I want to turn towards it, like a flower facing the sun. this is, of course, all easier said than done - Atlas I don't want to become
a self-strangling flower. the world is already difficult and dangerous enough as it is-- I don't want to beat it to the punch. hm - Atlas I do not need you.
if you want to go, I will be okay. you do not need to worry about obligations unfulfilled. but I want you to stay, for as long as you're willing, for as long as you're able. would that be okay? a kind of love people don't write poems about very often, I think (Happy Valentine's Day!) - Atlas and I know that
the reasons to be afraid won't go away just because I'm not looking. but I don't know where my responsibilities begin and end. do I just help out if I can? looked into the Big Scary Box of Uncomfortable Things About the World and came away shaken. more at 11 - Atlas the jaws of time yawn wide
and unforgiving. I yawn back. it is late and I have done what I can, for now. there is nothing to forgive. hmmm - Atlas oh, how I love to sing
and swing and dance with you. you make the hours pass so sweetly. may the universe hold us gently, with our threads of fate intertwined. ho humm - Atlas of promises,
kept and unkept. is it enough to say that I tried? how many times can an honest mistake be repeated? thoughts, thinking - Atlas it was beautiful
in that fragile way, like porcelain. I was afraid to touch it. I hope my life is made of stronger stuff. ...idk man the words just Arrived - Atlas |
