un-mortality...

I missed the boat on this but I feel motivated by the fact my day started on a low today. Multiple thoughts (one after each other though, never much of a multi-tasker)

We truly start with nothing and we personally take nothing with us - but our hard earned and fruitful legacies can live on. If this is un-mortality your words are a perfect definition.

Time is the worst enemy and the best friend. Lack of can stimulate great creativity.

Charles Buckowski wrote a novel in three weeks. When asked how he did this he replied ‘fear’.

Ignored and pushed aside time can slip through our fingers like a hobos falls through the cracks in the welfare state.

With these thought in mind I’m personally happy to go through life terrified.

(Catching up is overrated in humble opinion)

Though I’m in no position to give advice to my elders maybe my late grandmother was. Whenever I used to ask her how I could do something difficult or overwhelming she would say ‘Left follows right’ (feet)

I think back to this each time I’m subdued. The next word, the next paragraph, the next page. They all add up to another positive step. Since she said that I always try (I fail a lot!) to look at stuff in that way when it threatens to drown me.

Oh and short IS sweet and no mistake.

My favourite poem ever by Robert E. Howard.

‘When I was a fighting-man, the kettle-drums they beat,
The people scattered gold-dust before my horses feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back.’

I’d rather keep fighting time than master it.

(check my tagline!)

Take care.
