I can handle the pain.

It’s no big deal.

Yes, it encompasses everything, but it’s not actually difficult.

I just go with it; like there’s another choice, right!?

But that’s the thing, isn’t it.

Thinking, believing deep down somewhere that there is; another way.

That’s what gets me, you, all of us into trouble.

Hanging onto the ideas about what should be, and denying what is.

Not b/c we’re wrong, or stupid; or strange.

But b/c it’s easier to hold on than to let go.

Easier, until it isn’t.

I’m of the persuasion that we are all doing exactly what we can with what we have.

That last part is the kicker. That’s where the light gets in.

That’s where the strange gets wild.
