Moving Forward... Again


I want to be okay with “screwing up”, making a mistake. I want to be okay with the results of an effort or action even if results are opposite of what I wanted or expected. Not in the sense that I am resigning to being a loser. But, that I don’t allow undesirable results to devastate me. I want to have the confidence, courage and resiliency to stand up and move forward, again. I am not saying that I want “bad” results. I just don’t want to fear “bad” results. And I don’t want “bad” results or the fear of bad results or “bad” results to stop me from moving forward... again.

Seize The Day


Don't be afraid of who you are,
I love the man I see
I'm not ashamed of you,
Don't ever hide from me

Don't hide from yourself,
Don't hide from others
This life is too short,
As you will discover

Come live and love,
Laugh and play
Today's all you have,
Seize the day!

Ought - Ode to the False Journey



Duty, Obligation – Behavior Modification
Leads to guilt and shame
A dead-end, no-win game

Rules, Laws – Cover up your flaws
Doesn’t help a damn bit
Leaves you in a dark pit

Pretend, Pose – Pinocchio Nose
Just an acting gig
Lipstick on a pig

Give more, Work harder, Sin Less
Tons ‘o moral striving but life is still a big mess

Drudge is all you got
When you live the life of ought
