Colonel of Wisdom - part 9
Even desperate or destitute, no matter how bad it gets, keep your compassion and dignity.
Jenny..
Your long, golden hair and eager smile
Left each person with the sun.
I wish I could tell you…
I didn’t know you were
Up to your eyebrows in debt,
Fired from work,
Dumped by your boyfriend.
I wish I could tell you,
Before they found you in the closet
Hanging from a rope.
I wish I could tell you,
There are always options.
There are always options.
You saw none.
Each morning, shake off your old thoughts, dump all your beliefs and dismantle everything you know about yourself. Start over each day and build yourself a new life.
Yesterday’s revelation is today’s dogma. What was profound, is now cliché. Past awakening has no power to save you from present despair. Have the courage to discard your rehearsed prayers and dive into untamed Truth. Then do it again tomorrow.
I sure miss the days, way back when, when the music was sweet, slow and a little sad.
