I walk as an emperor

despite only one

ascribing it so

Rather than walk as a peon

even as thousands

assume and 'know.'

This is a "Cold War"



"Cold War"(by Janelle Monae)
song lyrics

 
So you think I'm alone?
But being alone's the only way to be
When you step outside
You spend life fighting for your sanity

This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?

If you want to be free
Below the ground is the only place to be
'Cause in this life
You spend time running from depravity

This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for

This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?

Bring wings to the weak and bring grace to the strong
Make all evil stumble as it flies in the world
All the tribes comes and the mighty will crumble
We must brave this night and have faith in love

I'm trying to find my peace
I was made to believe there's something wrong with me
And it hurts my heart
Lord have mercy, ain't it plain to see?

That this is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for

This is a cold....
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
Do you know? It's a cold...

Do you?

Do you?
It's a cold ...

You better know what you're fighting for

In My Sights


I was driving the animals to the vet's office yesterday and
there was a flurry of activity from some of the inevitable
post-rain mosquito army that had gotten trapped in
the vehicle.

The bloodsuckers were so aggravating
that I finally succumbed and began swiping at them with
my 'spare' hand, and of course the entire car swerved.

Even on a deserted road, the ease at which I lost
control and could have wrecked was heavy on my mind!

In just that quick a second, I was reminded that the driving
of the car was so much more important than the irritations
of the dozens of annoying bugs.

It synched in my head just how easily those minor
distractions can pull our notice from the larger, more
significant matters that need keep our attentions.

I've had an issue with neighbor difficulties of late,
and it had threatened to engulf my mind and emotions.

The incident with the car helped to remind me that
keeping focus on the real, core isssues will not
only prosper us in the long run, but keep the more
nonsensical errata from driving us nuts.

"How to Make it Through A Day"


 
Embrace movement
 
Begin movement

Internalize personal hope

Exude goals

Embrace growth and change

Don't resist pain

Allow exposure

Live self love

Keep single focus of preservation and positivity
 
Breathe!
 
Just Live.
