“Et Tu?
Jason’s brand coconut flavored toothpaste was my last holdimg ground of gentle mint hint, sparing my gums from burning infernalism.
I guess they also capitulated to market “demand” of monoculturized mint FRY.

Point A To B – Then C To D
When there are unexpected gaps and then breakdowns in my financial systems of operations, I can only map out the direction I am going and keep focus upon intention while answers to bridging become clear.
Way Too Giving
A condition of the heart.

What Madness, This?
It is enough that external agency contrives ways to destroy, rather than support me.
But the stress afflicting misunderstanding between loved ones is too much to bear.

Cause And Effect
Do hard times keep happenung in my life so that I will qualify for resource assistance?
Why Couldn’t I?
The extreme pain is due to muscular torsion across my shoulders and twisting into neck – which drove me out of the house this morning.
My intention had been to go to the gym to attempt to relieve compounding pressure.
But instead, I am running errands as if to keep pace internally with the pain’s surging.
Maybe, this is my form of “running.”

Out Of Steam
If a person from one point of view does not have full capacity to communicate with a person from another point of view, things can go awry between them very quickly.
Tom And The Ladies
I followed a gobbler around this evening. He was strolling at the end of a lane and I just had to meet him. We walked slowly together for some time while I maneuvered around him carefully on foot so as to not alarm him.
So intent was I upon him, that I soon found myself only several feet away from his flock of two hens interweaving while they picked delicately at the grass.
They were gracious.

Dear Alex,
I don’t think I will ever have your type of confidence.
Maybe it’s because I’m experiencing certain circumstances.
Maybe, in the end, it doesn’t matter what I was meant to be.
Maybe what we have in common is a type of determination.

Just Holding On
A trick to continued survival is to grab onto any floatable object of faith one can see as the current carries one out far beyond sanity, where eventually forces release.

The Ugly Truth
I dreamed some friends set up time and place, and next thing I knew three clients were lined up, happily anticipaing to see me.
However, the most that I could do to get ready was some light and careful straightening up – and then I realized, “wait a minute.”
Despite the discomfort and embarrassment, I had to tell each one that there had been a mistake and that my friends should not have called them.
No matter how much I long to help, no matter how much I want my capabilities restored, and no matter how much I need the money, I just can’t help people in this way for now, anymore.
Triangulation
Extrapolating where I might encounter true essence of self is akin to a gamr of “hide and seek” in the delayed process of my recovery.
(Unaffected – Hoobastank)
De-Spite
I will keep pushing against these limitations and barriers to my recovery which I have not caused, yet are being deliberately added to by other parties’ dishonesty.
