2022/8/18 #poetry This time I would have felt that things will work out I thought that everything was just barely coming together All at the last second But I feel lost I can't see anything for certain I'm not sure until things do that anything will come together at all The plans aren't working I'm not making it up as I go along I'm just waiting and attempting over and over to get the plans back in place I will work to make Everything more simple To reduce until Flexibility is as easy as a smile
2022/8/17 #poetry Why do I read the TOS we are required to agree but they are such a mess most people just take a guess that they're OK with every term but I think that's not the best saying I read it when I hadn't would weigh heavy on my chest sometimes I take my time to read and people think I'm just a pest they think my principals are stupid and I should just give it a rest but when it comes to contracts I feel I should never jest I never want to have to put assumptions to the test
2022/8/16 #poetry I didn't make the flower. The plant grew the flower. I didn't make the plant. The plant grew itself. I did supply the plant with water and access to light but, you know, you could say it would have had those things if I hadn't separated it from them in the first place. You could say that I didn't make the light or pipe the water from its source. You could say that all I really did was exist in the space with it while it did its thing. I do feel something though. That I contributed. That the flower was a success for both of us. Is that a joke? I could see how if the particular plant was difficult to cultivate or unsuited to the local environment then there would be some challenges to overcome and that the flowering could be seen as some success on the part of the cultivator, but I'm not in that situation. What was my success really? If I just sit in a place and appreciate the things around me and appreciate my own presence would that be success? Have I overcome some challenge then? I know that if I've taken on that particular challenge during a 'spiritual journey', likely related to some eastern philosophy, I could easily have created the context for simple sitting and appreciating being a success. Maybe that's the point of those 'journeys'. If you can feel accomplished by just sitting there you're likely to be pretty satisfied most of the time.
2022/8/15 With all the words that people have written Why make more? Repeating things said over again hardly seems worthwhile. Yet if unique, new writing will be understood by virtually no one due to lack of context. Building that context can be done but would take time. Holding reader attention long enough would require all the same rehashing as before.
