Nerves

<I'm just never sure when's the "right" time for anything>

Hey I gotcha. 

I'm supposed to be the experienced one right? 

Well I got a tidbit for you too.

I have no problem being the one to move things.

Actually, it's good to know you won't because I don't have to watch for as many things

-alertness for nonverbal cues and intuition-

But all the same, I'm nervous too.

I second guess when to do what also.

I've not moved half the time because I second guess.

I wanna make it a good moment.

You've never done anything, nor have I really.

We'll tackle the nerves at the same time.

Oh which reminds me:

 I have one thing on the radar I am paying attention to.

It crossed my mind recently and I've been keeping tabs on the case since then.

Nothing to fret over, just something I know is important to you,

So I mind it well.

Interested? Guess you'll have to ask to figure it out.

Floor Chalk

Hey chica!

Been a fun week running around and flipping upside down.

[We'll overlook the time of betrayal when you moved a few lanes over]

Glad we got to do this camp together,

Pole runs and wall plants and even the dreaded slide box.

Sorry you found food scarce,

But eating Chinese food made camp that much better.

Loved being bus buddies and would repeat anytime.

Watched you learn to vault over camp,

And looks like you walked away knowing a thing or two.

Can't wait to see how the season pans out;

Push through that junior year stress!

And most important: Be Fearless!!!

Crazy vs Foolish

Where does Crazy become Foolish?

Or should it be, when does foolish become crazy?

Or could crazy and foolish be one and the same?

Who is it to decide the line anyhow?

Should all humans decide for themselves individually?

Should each community make their own standards?

Are we all governed by another being altogether?

If all humans decide individually,

Would we be tolerable of differences?

Could we exist peacefully together?

Could we live peacefully together?

Even if people make their own lines, commonalities are inevitable.

Out of the commonalities come communities.

We are social creatures. We need each other.

The communities will attempt to keep to themselves. 

Trouble will be avoided through spreading out.

And perhaps the being more knowledgeable then we keeps us in line.

Gives us a reason to not act out of greed,

Lest one community attempts to override all others.

The higher being sees where trouble arises;

People in tune with the being see likewise.

They act.

So where do Crazy and Foolish separate?

To each their own and to themselves.

The Trust Game

I see every relationship, no matter what kind, as a game.

There are no winners or losers, only players and pieces.

As players/pieces, we hold different roles according to our current circumstance.

Everyone is their own player, as well as others' pieces.

It's up to us how we view ourselves.

~Personally I believe I am the player of my own hand~

This is as much a game of trust as it is power.

So is this fascinating or bizarre?

This is all subconscious;

I only tap into this thinking outside the moment of events.

We are all human. Humans have very real feelings.
Just because something is a game, does not mean it's not serious.
Playing with people is shameful.
We are not toys for each other.
We are companions with complex dynamics.

Doors

Free is the first door.

Always open to walk through,

Always open to walk back through.

Anxiety guards the second door.

It's all a mind game though.

A pinch of courage launches anxiety out of sight.

Responsibility supervises door three.

Not everyone is prepared to meet its requirements.

Everyone has individualized standards.

Trust and Time are a set.

Each are hand-made.

Regular maintenance assures these double doors open in sync.

Beware of rust for it will forever tarnish hard-earned links.

Soul bears the heart of the complex.

It is the last to be passed before retreating.

Pieces of it are scattered through time.

Backtracking out can be a single step or a labyrinth. 

The further inward the traveler explores the longer the trip out.

The longer the trip out, the more complicated it is to truly leave.

Mind and Heart forever war over which path to take.

Circuitous routes are the norm while each instills an argument.

Only when a unanimous decision stands can the itinerant proceed.

Freedom is an illusion.

We think we can leave the mindscape.

We believe ourselves masters of our own heads.

We are fools.

Even when we proceed,

We take pieces onward and leave pieces behind.

Power of Suggestion

Think of the most influential person in your life.

Got it? Good. 

Now think of a time you changed your mind about something.
 Changed it because that person spoke their opinion.

Think of a time someone was warning you.

They were perhaps doing their job, teaching you awareness.

And while you're on the topic, you begin to question if it applies to you.

But only in the moment, because they've heightened your awareness.

Can something be spoken into existence?

Consider self fulfilled prophecies.

Consider an idea set into motion by a single comment.

Where's your locus of control?

Do you make events happen in your life?

Do you have control over your reactions?

Or does everything happen to you?

Or does the universe dictate your responses?

How much power do you give suggestion?
How much power does suggestion take from you?
