“Safety In Numbers”

They say that “numbers don’t lie” – but of course, this depends upon who’s manufacturing them and who’s interpreting.

And are we adhering to a status quo, so that we do not draw any negative attention towards us?

When I seek for signs of guidance, I am really looking for my own internal paradigm’s reinforcement.

If the numbers only skew, I seek elsewhere for my truth’s adornment.

Meaning In The Madness

What should she focus on in this last day of the business week?

What was most important, and did any of it really matter?

There were so many choices – and she pushed against the threatening pressure to make space in her head for thinking clearly.

“Anything you do will be worthwile,” his lingering presence reassured her, as if he was there as her mental patchkit for accessing.

Had she become broken then, after all, as last night’s worrying while singing to a song had prompted?

If she willed her insides to become more still, maybe the right path would reveal its shining glory.

A Sweet Awakening

She was naturally resistant and proud, as if putting her psychic foot down firmly would help to reestablish sense of any solid ground.

He picked her spirit up gently to stand in front of him, waiting patiently for her “spine” to lengthen and her “legs” to reactivate energetically.

“Get your day going,” he softly encouraged her – and her consciousness was pulled forward from the night’s deep dreaming into the day’s tasks awaiting.

Congruency

The year things began to disolve in my marriage, crows and hawks nested on our property and had their babies – a sure sign of blessing and welcome from nature’s community for our family.

But when one partner of a pair welcomes signs of hope, joy, and confirmation of prosperity while the other for whatever reason turns away from such positivity, their bond becomes destined for separation.

Comedy

Agony

A form of it, having mopped and cleaned the back end of our house after two months of avoiding due to accident.

Today, I am paying for it with nerves flaring and tendons stick-twitching.

It might be worse, tomorrow., due to delayed effects as come with physical activity.

Nothin’ like being fried by synaptic overstim haze!

(This could be categorized as black comedy…)

Myths & Legends, The Accident - As Of 10/10/25 Early AM Named "Clyde" (Short For Collide) Because It's Funny And I Deserve Mirth At Its Expense

Trusting The Process Of Alchemy

I had asked for “an intervention.”

You know, like praying.

Yet on the day of the accident, I felt extreme anxiety.

Smoke from fires in nearby regions was hazing the local atmosphere thick down to the ground, making it hard to breathe, think, or see clearly.

My parents had just bought me an airplane ticket to visit them and I was worried about the timing of leaving my family.

When we had lived on the mountain, isolation made fears like the potential of fire suddenly spreading a grim and desperate reality.

I was wrestling with the odds and felt picked upon by the smoke energy’s chaotic influences.

It felt like forces that were once trapped in time’s matrix had been suddenly released by the fire’s combustion of matter.

I could feel the energies running rampant, like some great beast swirling, greedy and hungry to influence and devour everything.

I had to leave the house to escape the psychic bombardment grappling at my psychology.

And thus, I inadvertently found where the energy was free-flowing, thinking that by going straight to my physical therapy appointment, I would be securing a “free pass” by clear intentioning.

But the beast caught me at a stoplight, where I was forced to stay still while the opposite flow of traffic began resuming.

At least I saw the car coming from behind about to hit me – and could jam on the brakes so that the impact would not hurt anyone in front of me.

But this camel got suddenly “pushed through the eye of a needle.”

Yeah, that’s me.

I always try to be an “acception to the rule.”

Now, I am back in the realm of the “In-Betweens.”

I have to laugh because revisiting here is becoming another thematic.

Maybe I should just stay here.

Stop struggling and aspiring.

The scenery is lovely and the people seem to be genuinely caring and receptive to my being friendly.

Meanwhile, I am gathering resources to rebuild my ship’s integrity.

But my body’s strength got left back there on the street’s pavement.

Maybe if I keep driving over the spot, my scattered pieces will return to me.

I can’t go backwards in time, and I can’t make any external commitments while I’m healing.

And I do not know what the future holds for me.

What Phoenix Fire of rejuvenation can redeem?

I am working on generating magnetism.

Alex (An Ideal), Poetic Musings

Dear Alex,

How do I become physically vital like you?

That’s just it, though.

It seems that I can’t.

My efforts keep getting thwarted.

And I am forced to diverge from course, again.

I keep having to self isolate.

Even as I reach for shared truths.

I find only my own limitations.

And a determination.

Unyielding, yet adaptive.

Are we anything alike?

I hoped to one day matter to you.

But I am only a bright star on your horizon.

Flickering and fading out of view.
