A shell with calcified outer layers turned into the wind, feet dug strongly into the sand, waiting out the storm. It's what remains inside that counts, you tell yourself. I am sometimes ashamed of my incredulity of being led around by leash and collar. As if I am being denied some birthright, as if there was some mix-up and at the front door they told me to go around to the service entrance. My body shakes and my will tries to force it out. Keep your head down and remember that being humble is being close to God. There is absolutely nothing in this world that you are entitled to, not even your own skin and bones.
Remember the promises that you want to keep to yourself. Remember where you would like to be in a month, in two months, and get there. There is no way that anyone or thing can stop you, once you've made up your mind. Decide, and the body follows.
Hang on tightly, let go lightly.
About Me
- porfiry
- The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break, it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure that it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry.
