Turning the Corner

With many options before me i hope to close the door on all of them but one
within the year

wish me luck

Tired of the well-trodden path
influenced by others more than myself
cabeza bien lavado

a new way i forged so long ago but strayed

Stay the course!
the course of trusting intuition
the guidance of truth
the bullshit filter turned all the way up

Here's the fine print
a salutary cold plunge heals
kids can pick up snakes
if it smells like a rat it probably is
a featherbed and butler do not a good life make
judge the propaganda by its source
weakness begets weak advice
poverty of imagination a path to join the living dead

to flee the ravages of prosperity
institutionalization
engineered solutions
and division

towards sufficiency
autonomy
community
and random joy

rank can never outrank sweat

Drivel, babble, confusion this is?
Stay tuned for the translation
(it may never come)
or put it into your own words
whatever meaning you can make of it
is perfect
appropriate
sincere
and passionately purposeful

if you are.
