Found some inspiring poetry lately so will be forcing myself to do more in the next couple weeks :)
“One’s true character shows when the storm comes knocking, when they’re pressed to a wall, or caught by a trap. When plans fall through and dangers come to rest, the act falls away, the heart’s all that’s left.
We long for heroes in our life of normals. We yearn for the extraordinary to save us from quarrels. We pray for our dreams and our forgiveness too to gain what we wish for and lament what we rue. We think we need saving from our own trials. I think we need a reminder of what’s under the denial.
You have what it takes to do all you want to get all you need to reach all you seek. Remember your beating heart when the shaking starts; just burn away the haze and set your heart ablaze”
This is the 71st installment in my experiment of publishing raw, lightly edited mini-essays every day towards achieving 100 public pieces. Check out the rationale and the full list here.
