My wish came true, as they usually do, that the weather would be fair, not fill my attic with hot air, so I could pack in comfort there.
I was done before I knew, and I'm so glad I'm through.

Sometimes, even before you reach the edge, you know you won't be able to stop.
The cliff looms up and you take to the air; with acceptance, poise, and hardly a care.
You never know what'll happen after that, the free fall is just a metaphor.
Inevitability is only ever actualized in hindsight.

Design can dazzle
even when
it's not quite sound
for use
in the end
form & function
may intersect
but often attention
is only given
to one aspect

The fun is in the flow
what expectations can not show
remembering what you forgot you know
making it all up as you go

Well, I repeat myself too, but if I want to be listened to I have to listen first.
It works better. More people are willing to play. If you see someone's eyes glaze over and you keep on talking who does that serve?
I know it can be hard to stop. Sometimes what you are saying really excites you. But there's an art to conversation and you ignore it at your detriment.

Without any instruction, when the stakes are high & you don't know what to do, things can seem tough. Without support the effort compresses. Without alternative options worry can come up sharp. Waiting can hurt. Acting can be totally draining.

Just a little bit closer to the vision set for myself. The vision of the life without struggle.
Tiny progress, impeded by roadblock after roadblock, but progress however small.
Looking forwards, & holding to the vision, taking steps, proceeding on.

Every day is different, yet things don't seem to change. I notice patterns, I expect the same outcomes. What even could be better?

I plan to go far away
I do not know to where
You're welcome to come along
if you feel that you care
Somewhere close to nature
but that has people too
it should facilitate everything
that we might want to do

After you've learned
to value something
care for something
in some way,
when you see that care not being applied
some subtle abuse being perpetrated
it can seem quite vile
the violence of ignorance
but it's just a perspective
determined by your current values
ones that you too had to learn
