Notes About The Poem

Many times when the hardships we are experiencing seem unending, we must fight our hardest when realizing that perhaps we have been conditioned to be in that hardship. It is the mindset to the condition that must change greater than the condition itself.

The Conditioning

When the hard place is the bed

where upon a rock lays the head,

beware your hard places becoming impenetrable.

For when the duration only meant,

for a time, is long spent,

becoming one with where you are

may be the inevitable.
