Interruptions

                 Some plan, and some don't, and it's always at different degrees of both. Some days all goes well and nothing seems to be against you. Other days nothing goes well and all is against you (or at least this is how it can seem). It's here where our "plans" are interrupted that this can actually be a good thing sometimes. Resistance isn't always a bad thing, though when our way is suddenly disrupted (at whatever amount, and for however long) we can become discouraged and even frustrated (this is typically, and more often than I like to admit, my struggle). 

                It is here we can find growth right in the thick of these interruptions. It is here the "interruptions" can even sometimes be what we needed. I don't always like this truth (if I'm being fully transparent); though I don't like being stuck as a person and not growing even more so.

                Change can be a difficult thing when there isn't any way forward, when no plan is seen here, when these interruptions are sudden and catch us by surprise (especially for those who need some sort of structure like me). As I'm learning though how to respond in better and healthier ways to these "shifts" of life, I find 2 questions usually help me: 1.) What is good? Remembering to consider NOT ONLY what is wrong or unpleasant, to see the whole picture, and 2.) What else is there? Seeking to look BEYOND what is easily seen, and past SIMPLY A SOLUTION ONLY (a question I began learning in my video game playing days). I don't usually answer these easily, or always succeed at being willing to even ask them, but for those particularly tough interruptions they help me alot, and I've been learning to ask them more. A focus is shifted and the poison of destructive thoughts and emotions is left powerless. When unexpected shifts bring necessary change that's good these CAN be a blessing (especially if we're willing to answer those 2 questions, and even ask them to begin with). If this doesn't work for you at first (or easily), just know you can always try again. You aren't alone, or the only one that struggles. Let's struggle through these together and win!

What Isolation Sees (An Older Poem I Wrote)

Once thought alone, this is no longer, this faulty thought process, for eyes look upon me in a pensive mindset. Not the Infinite but the internal are found here though, myself shrouded in dark invisibility, face to face with this mysterious entity, one called isolation. He looks on me in silence, a silence that speaks volumes though no word is uttered. Examination of self is impressed upon me, for such is his influence on my being. I dare to look again at myself, along with isolation, and here do I look upon it all, good and bad alike. What isolation sees he shows me: faults and found strengths, skills I knew not I possessed, failings I was unaware of, ones buried deep within me, ones hidden well inside. This mysterious one isn’t a curse, and in his presence I find myself again, I begin again to right myself, and here I am being made whole once more. What isolation sees isn’t always bad, nor is what he shows, these blessed ways from the Infinite, ways to make us better, better if we a...

Just Write (How To Create When You're Beginning And Feeling Overwhelmed)

               You’re stuck. You feel empty. Overthinking seeks to imprison you; you can’t be shackled though, unless you don’t try. Just write. Don’t worry if it’s perfect, or even how much you will be able to write. Listen as you do, listen as that “inner writer” speaks (for they will) and words will arrive to meet you. First a few words will gather together, one by one, making complete pictures; small actions to a bigger result of greater writing. The little will grow, and so will your confidence. Just write.                  Just a word at a time while remembering to keep writing. Soon paragraphs will be seen. One word will become two and sentences will gather together becoming paragraphs. Just write. You will encounter overwhelming perfection call out loudly on your journey, attempting to stop you….this is where you need to remember you can edit later. Just write. It will be beautiful, the complete...

I Will Stand My Ground

        Light breaks through as clouds of despair are pierced, as hope begins to shine bright again, fierce and unrelenting. Life enters with the wind where change casts it's welcome breezes, and here I breathe in this refreshing shift of resolve.         Small steps are taken toward the dawning of renewal, a faith restored again as a good to be is reassured and seen in parts with each movement to healing; healing to grace for the broken, direction for the lost...for us all.
