My Deepizm

"This is poetry as illumination, for it is through poetry that we give name to those ideas which are-until the poem -- nameless and formless, about to be birthed, but already felt. That distillation of experience from which true poetry springs births thought as dream births concept, as feeling births idea, as knowledge births (precedes) understanding" Audre Lorde, "Poetry is Not a Luxury" Sister Outsider (1984)

Falling...

I have a few questions for the universe...

Is it possible to stop yourself from falling? If you're already in the process of tripping over... falling for something/one, and gravity is a given constant, is it possible to regain your balance once you've started... falling?

What if you really don't want to stop, but think you should? Because it's probably for the best that you not crack your head against the concrete. Is it like a self-fulling prophecy at that point? You fall because you really wanted to all along.

Oh, but your reason for thinking you should stop is logical, empirical; if you fall for something/one you can't have then you are likely to hurt yourself. Stopping is the smart thing to do, and doing the smart thing has kept you out of trouble your whole life... has kept me out of trouble my whole life. What do I do? What do you do?

Alright, universe, if you could get back to me with those answers soon, I'd really appreciate it.

I Think I Might Work Too Hard

Damn...

I work too hard. When I'm not doing something that can produce tangible results--for me, for something, or for someone else--I feel like I'm wasting time, and Lord knows how I hate wasting my time. I understand 'chillin' and I do that frequently, but chillin' is just that. It's pressing pause, not stop. I guess I'm making note of this now, because I feel like if I don't learn how to press stop at some point, I may end up burning myself out before I'm 40. But then I feel like if I'm not extremely productive now, then I won't be happy at 40. AAAAHHH!!!

I'm not exactly sure what I need to do. I'll probably talk to my momma about all this. She always seems to have my answers, but you are more than welcome to leave a piece of advice as well.
