Dive Into the Sky
Do you buy self-help books by ones, twos Or do you buy them by the bloody dozens Stop halfway through, dejected, confused Yet sing their praises, to friends or cousins Do you read the advice, but don’t follow it And then you wonder why it doesn’t work You sought tools to scramble from your pit […]
Pattern Recognition
We are creatures of habits and instincts. Often, despite what we think, know or believe, we respond to our body’s chemical and hormonal cues or behaviors learned in childhood. No matter what we encounter, we face reality in ways we were taught. You’re smart, but were told you are stupid and incapable of doing anything […]
