into your face, you stop and
reassess. It's not the best way
to interpret life, temptation
there to overthink
(I do this all the time)
stinking up the day with doubt
and worry when most things
work out, eventually, just fine.
Those that don't, or won't because
of choices made outside your own purview
or variables you never knew,
well that's just the way it was
and is and will be. So relax.
Repose, those yoga breaths to
quieten stubborn stress of wishing
you had done things differently,
done it right, or done it better. Things
may well have, even yet,
come out looking awfully similar
to how they are right now.
You're not so powerful that
everything depends on you.
Isn't that a nice change from
the dreaded expectations others
think they'll push upon your head?
Where is this going? What
apparition caused these words?
It doesn't really matter. I don't
even know. Could not care less.
Unless it bothers you, and then
we'll have to have a conversation
which I'd just as soon avoid.

Hodgepodge of thoughts today mixed in with more emotion than is usually the case for a Thursday. Don't ask me what this means, because I haven't a clue. Or not much of one, anyway. But I'm okay with that.
