“The Outlier”

She happened upon it one hot day while walking on foot, noticing its parched leaves curled as it struggled to survive with no nearby source of water. Since that day, by chance again passing while continuing moving, she’s given it bottles of water – determined that it would have a chance to endure like the clustered others.
Accounting
It must be enough that my efforts have helped to bring us this far – even though the results do not seem equivalent.
(Stranger Things – Kygo ft. One Republic)
For A Dream
For creative rights to design one’s life there is little compensation but each step we carve out leading to another, helping hands along the way if we are lucky, and likely a lonely vista once we get there because those of us who try are scattered and rare.
Homeless
“I don’t want to be like that.”
“You’re not like that. You are fighting every day and pouring everything into making sure your family stays off of the streets.”
(Yellow – Coldplay)
Dropping Weight
I must view the woman as being accountable, rather than taking the blame as my own. I did all I could and more to ensure that we had a home.
Shelter
Yes, I needed to be able to depend on her. Like it or not, this is a service landlords are charged to provide by default of their position in our economy.
However, they look at their properties as money makers for their own ends – and ignore the responsibility for other people’s lives having stability in exchange that’s held within their hands.
As an adult attempting to provide for my family, it is difficult to repeatedly experience what we should have gained being dropped.
Banished
Because she had learned that good communication and building friendly rapport was essential to having good relationship, she extended a little caring to their landlord – and encountered deep resentment.
Inner Sanctum
When I dream of college, it can often be calming:
A brief respite before workmen return pounding.
There, I have met outstanding professors who
Encourage life’s investigation of its measures.
The mysteries within questions formed are
No longer ignored as curiosity is cultivated.
Its environment is geared to expand minds –
To confront fears and overcome limitations.
I thrive in this type of collective consciousness.
(No Promises – Cheat Codes ft. Demi Lovato)
No Promises
As we gear up for the separation of our family’s unit, I know we are at the whims of The Fates, again. At this point, I ask myself how am I ever to feel that I can stand on solid ground – when the consistency remains a constant shifting?
Crazy For You
Devastation, infatuation / appreciation, saturation: if not looking, I find you; if sought, I lose.
Money
Currency for survival.
(Children – Robert Miles)
Confidence
How does one regain it while their Maslow’s keeps getting erased?
(Catch My Breath – Kelly Clarkson)
2:02pm Sunday
She had just finished the first wave of taking apart the dog’s yard and releveling to make it nice and happened to be relocking the slider door when she noticed the landlord walking across her backyard area with a clipboard, scrutinizing her progress and items ready for packing while noting and/or checking off on paper.
The landlord had not given 24 hours notice, nor announced she and her workers would be all over their unit’s property nearly every day working on the upstairs unit for the last four weeks.
They had not been notified of post repairs for the base of the balcony above them just outside their window – with the old post now just left there hanging. And a desk had been left on their front porch the entire time, while dust and noise pollution infiltrated their unit through their side door.

Letting myself take the night off is tantamount to sin.
Form’s Function
I work out at low weights to realign core balance stabilizer muscles to reinforce and ensure ability’s strength.

Tapeworm
Lately when she went to workout, the sorcerer’s thrall attempted to lay claim to her aware consciousness. She asked Source to help purge his infatuous influence, and for God to severe attachments, unsure when all of this had begun and grateful for the help in removing this psychic parasitism.
(Learn To Love You – Mxmtoon)
How Do I?
Release the attachment to/of psychological and emotional burdens society ascribes to?
(I’m Free/Heaven Helps The Man – Kenny Loggins)
Adjusting
What I planned would happen was different from how things were actually proceeding, so I retained the truck to keep personal maneuvering.
I’ve Gotta Go
I’m not going to keep playing this game of “Wait” and dead ends…
Heat Of The Day
Having cleaned out the truck and strategized leaving my car at the shop and walking back to get the truck ONCE for efficiency’s self preservation, upon returning to the truck I discovered that its key was no longer in my pocket!
“Only Human”
I am not perfect.
I makes mistakes.
But, I try to amend them.
Simple Truths
I cannot simultaneously attend every moving component, which is resulting in our leaving before we know where we are going.
The Difference Between Us
“I am not just another moth to your flame.”
Points Of View
It is more difficult to move out of a place than into a new one. This goes for homes, paradigms – etc.
Creative Deconstructionism
When I first heard “Seas Of Cheese” in early 1990’s, that was when we lived on the upper story of tbe Biddle House, where the tiny fluff, perfectly designed flame-shaped owl feather floated into my open-to-palm-tree-window, and I was sewing our union’s first Ren clothing and patchwork, finely innerlined capes.
Fascinated by the album’s auditory and cover concept art, I wondered how Primus had developed to that point, and how and in what ways I could follow after in expressing my own prospective creative ingenuities.
(Seas Of Cheese – Primus)
In A Mad World
Her strategy up until 2011 had been to navigate around the crazy. Since “The Fall,” it was as if an unseen force kept pulling her forward, straight through it. She hoped this meant she was on a shortcut to greater gains and positive influences.
A New Norm
She got her car back after asking a friend to come with her so she could think straight and not get further intimidated.
The mechanic immediately launched into a loud tirade, of which she was able to counter each outrageous statement as she listened carefully, observing her voice volume rising to match and counter while keeping clarity.
When he at last stated what he wanted and she saw it was reasonable – in fact, that it never would have been a problem, had he just asked her for it from tbe beginning – she cut through his tirade and reached out to take his hand in agreement.
“I like you. I have no problem with this. Let’s do it. Let’s write up the new contract. YES.”
And the conversation deescalated as they came back out as amicable collaborators returned to the road of building trust and friendship.
What was the purpose of such prior mistrust and emotional charging? Why the incurred stress and need to gear up for battle – the sword waving and poundimg on shields to prove their mettle?
Shakey on tbe otherside, she was confused by remnant fight-flight struggle and realized this was a rare time when someone had pushed at her this hard and then the situation ended up well.
(Don’t Stop The Music – Rihanna)
Peace
Where others weave entrapments, I seek to be released from their entanglements – stretching to fly on new wings.

Preeminence
She was on a mission. It just had not defined its purpose to her in coherent, strategic revelation.
