So Said The Oracle
When you dread swimming with sharks, those waters do not welcome you
Frustration may push you towards recognition and power
Wait
Listen
Find the waters where dolphins swim
A friendly channel in the deep ocean where still the whole world plays
Well meaning companions will advertise many different directions for you
They are not you
Thank them, appreciate the support they offer
Imbibe the hopes and dreams they have collected for you
But
If their vision of success does not unlock your heart and set you free
Do not stop to invest
Do not distribute precious bits of your life force wantonly
Do not waste your limited time in this plane of existence
Too old does not exist
Stuck is a frame of mind
We all engage in the pursuit of happiness
Every last human
Every last endeavor can be boiled down to this
Are you happy?
Don’t be afraid of honesty
The truth WILL set you free
Possibility is limited only by imagination
Aim carefully
Your target is a natural spring of motivation
You will stop struggling, treading water, maybe drowning
Your experience will become…
Enlivened, fresh, rewarding
Even fun!
Trust yourself
Dare it
Your mind is cracked?
Your baggage heavy, seemingly endless?
You are not looking at yourself as a friend
You are cracking a whip you saw in other people’s hands
You are right, for all anyone could ever be in your shoes
You are beautiful, look upon yourself and try on a smile
I myself cry doing this
It bubbles out of nowhere
It strangely reveals how ugly I have felt
Unearths the years of nastiness I have associated with myself
Yet I speak resolutely:
And so it was good
There is a place out there for you and for me
It never disappears
It waits
It is waiting
This is my hand holding yours
Let’s rise above, let’s go!
