8 august

trying something new -- three pages of morning writing, captured here later in ordered, selected excerpts -- found writing from neverlost text:

words no larger than my thoughts
hopes may be large, practice small
hand tenses slightly
feeling the strain
already
so many tightly penned lines
the right verb is to pracice
writing yoga doctors lawyers
all in the same vocabularic boat
guidelines and styles, flavors of response
preferences and penmanship, other telling twists
reality keeps changing, rerranging
assessing preparation, finding it lacking
need to invent
paint the picture of innocence
of evidence that contradicts
create new out of beforewords
punctuation and hesitation
knowing it as a flow means easing into action
tumbling out of a pose
rebalancing
hold my own hand
rather than holding my breath
disclose the fears
worries of not being _ enough
presses down squeezes out
possibilities of growth
of comfort, of acceptance
of gratitude for all there is on offer
clear answers
none are easy and i am not ready
routines of comfort and of growth
(comfort and joy)
build from words to strength
to fit to standing still
the ease with which others move through the world
appears real
no need to wave a flag
draw it down
then replace with more
of what matters
