Up


At certain moments I notice that simple words have a tendency to disappear.
They dissolve into a hidden abyss and fade effortlessly amidst the urgency of the moment.
Reality gains a tighter grip and you have no choice but to acknowledge its demonstrative presence.

What if we sought out these situations on a regular basis?

Although they may be raw and unforgiving in nature, each experience brings one ever closer to their true being.  Once exposed, there is the additional responsibility of acknowledging your position.
Most are intimidated at this point and fail to meet the challenges that are evident.

What should be done now? What reaction would seem to 'fit'?

There are a select few, however, that lick their wounds. As insurmountable as this time appears, they somehow manage to thrive. Weakened and bruised they use experience to rebuild a foundation. Tools are chosen meticulously during this healing period. A strategy is developed and a blueprint is forged. Failure ceases to be considered. Compromise can only be brokered on their terms.
