I’m an emotional creature.
It’s how the earth got made.
How the wind continues to pollinate.
You don’t tell the Atlantic Ocean
to behave.
i have a bit of a life hangover today. the past few weeks have been fast-paced and incredible. this weekend was 12 hours of sleep over the course of 3 days, and i can not believe how much has been done, seen, talked about.
today i drove to homer lake alone and smoked a cigar in the cold, then came home and laid on my couch and finished this book in one sitting. i am feeling centered and powerful, like i am totally capable of keeping the momentum of the past month going and going. i am dirty and exhausted and broke and have never had such peace of mind.
we know if you plan too long
nothing happens and things get worse and that
most everything is found in the action
and instinctively we get that the scariest thing
isn’t dying, but not trying at all.
And when we finally have our voice
and come together
When we let ourselves gather the knowledge
When we stop turning on each other
but direct our energy toward what matters
When we stop worrying about
our skinny-ass stomachs or too-frizzy hair
or fat thighs
When we stop caring about pleasing
and making everyone so incredibly happy—
We got the Power.
