this is either a good thing or a getting better thing. I can say without blinking it is growth.
detached I’ve heard isn’t as bold an attitude. all I mean is I can observe without judging. what is there to say once you know and have accepted it as what is.. without having to focus on the smell of it. see I might be failing. but here’s the truth. I am done paying. I have paid enough.
so I’ll keep my peace. I ‘ll keep it with steamed kale and garlic, cold beets and a little goat cheese. I’ll promise to manage with the slightest of failings. you knew I would see. you knew I feel. what you didn’t know is that I don’t give the way I used to. this is the extent of my giving. i’ll keep my peace. I’ll keep it with new creativity and a genuine move toward balance. this could include a nap, or a seven mile go, it might mean cutting my grass and seeding the lot. but I promise you nothing. these promises are for me.
