Awake August 2016 - Sixth/Seventh/Eighth

Sixth

Pretending the tears are from allergies
My eyes leak for a 24 year old woman
Cancer Sucks

#AwakeAugust 

Mindful Journey

Prompt Response:

Attachment Unavailable

Affection Unneeded

Affinity Unwarranted

Agreement Utilised

Until something I can provide

Is desired

Then I am of infinite value ...

The status quo

grows old

and cold

We all have those days, I think, when we are just not 'feeling" it.

Today has been like that for me.

It is hot, humid, overcast.

I am tired, restless, listless.

Seventh

Through the Glades
Plump groundhog munching chicory
Utility truck repairing phone lines
Crows caw from a corn field
Hazy Sunday morning

Saphro Gratitude encompasses my being #AwakeAugust

Prompt Response:

The Meaning behind the meaning The Meaning behind the meaning Subtexts say it all The tears behind my laughter No one will see fall The fear that drives my confidence A large and driving force The overwhelming insecurity Sees me always saying yes

So I was at a saturation point, I suppose. So much energy spent, and taking little if any time to recharge. All at once, I was not just tired, but exhausted. So I took a respite. I ate, and slept, and laughed with my Roger. We had deep, and shallow, conversations. I cleared some clutter from the kitchen counters, and from my mind as well. Some Olympics have been watched, and a few science fiction and classic horror films.

I have a vision of Earth, healed ... be kind, to yourself as well as others. Take time to just 'be'. Take notice of the souls you encounter, not just the human shells, but the soul within.

We are all we have, and this is our one shot at making it count.
