Don't Join The Insane. Stay In Your Lane.

The Marcus Aurelius quote about not being focused on being in the majority all the time, has a corollary argument about keeping one's own counsel. Avoid drama, conflict, and other people's business or problems, just as you avoid joining the insane. Mental health. It's everyone's business. The "Save the Drama" sign in my office, reminds me every day that I have my own circus. I don't need yours.

So Little Life...So Little Time...Don't Waste It.

We spend so much time in our lives trying to join groups that are in the majority. We join political parties in order to win more votes in order to gain power over other humans. We root for sports teams and aspire to sit in stadiums with crowds holding more of our fans than the other guy. We adjust our behaviors in order to live our lives the way others want us to live, be they parents, or siblings, or lovers, or spouses, or colleagues, or other groups with which we identify. What if we followed our own light, without any conscious or subconscious need for the approval of others? What if we were our genuine selves, without regard to the opinion of anyone else? We might find that we are much less likely to join the ranks of the insane.

#WhyIAmASolo - I Can't Be Forced To Retire.

As I age, I do slow down, and I suppose you could call it semi-retired. But, having a job that has a deadline, after which you are forced to retire, is not my type of job. We all want to have some autonomy in our lives. Solo practice brought that to me. Of course, there are monetary sacrifices for such a life. But, freedom of action doesn't really have a price.

#PoetryFriday - Tarot.

He studied her
as she placed the cards
upon the table.
It felt like a polygraph exam.
Did she hear his beating heart?
Could she sense his prayer
for a future of loving her
Could she read in the cards
the desire in his body,
and the anticipation in his voice?

Or, was it all a game?

She read the cards
aloud.
He already knew that he was bound to the past,
a past that carried only broken love
and broken promises.
He was, however,
a willing participant in her seduction.
He would go where she led him.

He was a budding plant,
growing towards a powerful sun,
reaching for the sky,
a boy-man,
learning to love.

The cards told him
that he had much work to do.
