You speak as though you are waiting to gather this energy needed to
climb
the steps of your emotions. Why do you feel it must be stored when it
comes to you rather then to seek it out? Have you not sought the parts
needed to form the whole?
It really is the little things that count, trite I know, but cliches
form
for a reason. Rather then waiting for you change to occur, why not think
-dangerous word I know- about the change and reflect it in your
behavior.
You will be amazed by how up lifting a variation from the norm can be.
Try eating lunch outside, or a new cafe where the waiters and waitress
are beautiful. When was the last time you looked at a tree, I mean
really
looked at it.
A while ago I went to lunch at a local mall and in the middle of my
sandwich I realized that I had been down.. well I had known all along I
assure you.. to the point where the cliff was infront of me and I was
staring into the ravine.. it was staring back, grinning. Walking back to
my car I passed many of the malls retail shops. I can't remember where
the inspiration came from.. maybe I smelled them in the air.. but it
became very clear that there was something I needed to do, for myself.
Running between the stores to gather my parts I obtained a simple glass
vase from a large housewares chain and an beautiful blue iris from
another of the malls stores. It adds so much to my drab floresently lit
curbical of opression. I was high as a kite every time I looked at my
simple vase with its blue flower.
You spoke of how others must change to treat you differently in light of
such a change. Treat yourself better and people will notice. After weeks
of explaining to people that noone was buying me flowers, that I was
doing it for myself, I was definatly being treated differently.. people
were looking at me with more esteem then they had before.. something
about a man with a sensitive side.. tee hee it makes me giggle.
I have only known you for about a month and a half now but I can see
through your writing that you have the potential you need. You mentioned
the higher level of energy that you now yourself capable of, I agree I
can see it in you.
Forgive my intrusion,
