Daily Nugget #176
do you see the storm coming?
when i’m on my fav lake
i can look out
and
see a storm coming.
the waters look different.
sometimes darker.
sometimes whiter.
a storm is coming.
i look in the eyes of people everywhere
and
i can see a storm coming.
i see darkness settle in
or
whitecaps.
can you see it coming?
can you feel it?
or maybe
you are in the middle of it.
clinging to a shred of wood
from your broken boat.
seeing no land in the distance
only swells of water
threatening to swallow you whole.
do you dive in to the belly of the beast?
do you allow yourself to be swallowed?
digested?
and
pooped out the other side?
i see the storm coming in your eyes
and
i have a new boat.
one made of materials from the future
a future that has already seen the storm
and
survived it.
climb aboard.
you are shaking.
i offer warmth.
find the rhythm of newness
know that each storm does pass
even if it swallows us
and
shits us out
stinky. soft.
perfumed with insight.
i see the storm coming
and
it now moves in to the distance.
what’s left in its wake
is truth.
are you willing to face it?
be it?
embrace it?
or
will you invite endless storms
in to your BEing
to swallow. digest & poop you out a new?
