Pre Resurfacing Stretches

Morning Thoughts #88

Let’s resurface - but not yet. I'm not breathing in the water, I am washing out my lungs. The goal: a community in the long run. For now: small talking to stretch myself ready for the later pace. Being a stranger is easy,  you never have to face the mirror of kindred spirits and the like-minded. Self-knowledge, though, begins with an analysis of real human connection. When you begin to reveal yourself, you're coaxed back inside your own lines. Any revelation is also the revealing of limits.

I can survive without comfort, is that why I tend not to get comfortable? Well, anyways, I've now more or less stretched most of my muscles - no longer tight from inexperience there or there, this moves, that does too. So much for childish preparation: the time for casting milestones has arrived! Joining up with the regularly ordered to set out for the exceptional distance. Oh sun and stars - I've made my comparisons! The light outpaces the heat every time! The night directs painstakingly but without reassurance! Anyways, here I come!

Oh future neighbor, may what is seen today be felt tomorrow! Oh great cities coughing out their light pollution, may they tag and tag us into approachable coal!
