desperation calls

Muesli, fruit, yogurt.

Desperation called 18 times during the day asking, Why, What changed your attitude toward me, How did you arrive at this heart breaking conclusion to release me, to reduce my sense of responsibility and neglect burning ashes of regret?

Calm thought about Desperation's plight.

Release and letting go of passion, desire, and expectations requires a serenity, clear focus, unconditional love.

Everything dies.

All is dancing behind your tears, your questions.

Be still.

Sit with your sensations, perceptions.

Breathe deep in-out.

Her return. Small talk about respect and responsibility.

everything

Everything has already happened.

You just need to experience it.

Everything you know is a lie.

Instinct.

Intuition.

Follow your bliss.

He procrastinated. He was addicted to Ling.

Love, passion, time, money, energy.

One night she repeated her performance, I come back in one hour.

He waited. Her chance to be responsible. To do what she says. To be honest.

She's a no-show. Her reasons, her choice.

He released his awareness of the futility. Free following their path with dignity, respect.

Letting go. Exhale everything out. Clean break.

How's it feel this emotional release for all the imaginary angst?

Calm. Centered.

unconscious dreams

Hope is the greatest evil.

A myth. Power. Control.

Dreams, wishes, fears.

Dreams are repressed wishes.

Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious.

Living safely is dangerous.

Words escaped the tyranny of memory.

Singing, they expressed themselves dancing Beauty.

Resilient. Radiant. Clean. Pure. Luminous.

Words had a discussion.

They discussed choices. Cause and effect.

They negotiated a fine line.
