Slight Return

Bluetones -  (Where did you go)

I Went to the furnace...

'I went deep inside myself to locate the weakness; I discovered rocket fuel disguised as my inner demons.
Rocket fuel that needed burning!
But first... Containing;
I imprisoned the tormenters until I had a safe place to release them.
When a direction had been chosen, I dragged them through a painful conversion process against their will, which enabled me to convert them into over x2000 workouts, learn a trade, meet hundreds of interesting people, write poetry, create art, open businesses, maintain businesses, close businesses, create relationships, maintain relationships, share inspiration, wisdom and helpful ideas with others... the list goes on.
This converted Rocket Fuel - provided the energy for me to get this done.
But only because I converted it from destructive energy - to creative energy.
I located it, contained it, directed it, then released and burned it when the time was right - which converted it. (into something useful) - the conversion process is the 'furnace' because it is painful, uncomfortable and burns..



Where did you go?


(Ecclesiesetes 7:10)
