Stronger than you think

When will she screw up?
When will she fall?

With my chin up high
And my stereo blaring

This is a great write. Keep your head up high and keep that stereo blaring.

Be well,

Loved it! Me, too! In your face, world!

I was tickled pink when I discovered no one had taken on the signature of "enigma." For my first thirty-two years I struggled to belong. It wasn't a square peg, round hole, thing. I wasn't even a peg. I broke loose. In the beginning I was a bit obnoxious, a "Self-"defense thing. Now, I'm about to the, live and let live, stage. I don't bother looking over their shoulder, and I'm pretty indifferent to their looking over my shoulder...I baffle them...they can't explain me...I reason with them...they seem to understand the validity of my perspective...but, then they just go back to their comfort zone, as if they hadn't heard a thing...

I once described it this way: There is a whole community of creatures with wings that only knew to walk. Walking was the understood thing. One person was always restless, asking questions and wandering about. In his wandering, he discovered a cliff. Out beyond the cliff, in the open spaces were creature just like him. They were flying. Over and over again he would go back to the community and tell them they were meant to fly. They tolerated him, but that was about it. Finally, tired of going back and forth and not being listened to, he jumped. He no longer returns to the community of walkers. He is content with soaring.

One thing: I unrelentingly and uncompromisingly determined my path by tenaciously seeking Truth, Wisdom, and Beauty, with the understanding that when these three are in balance, there is Love.

It is quite conceivable you are stronger than even you can imagine.

blessings,

enigma

Very nice... Keep up living the same way you do now and I will be glad to talk to in... say 10 years from now... Nobody wants to fail, nobody wants you to fall, it's all in your head...
Good luck,
Alex
