writing is therapy for the soul. for the mind. where is the time to think things through. there is too much time for thinking in circles. what is wrong with the people i know, the people i find, the people i love. what is it that takes people. taught not to think? taught not to feel power? lazy, waiting for answers... empty, distracted, unable to move. moving back and forth unhappy but because there is no way out for the mind that has learned only to move this way. is this the way. is it true that there is only this way once the spin has begun? and there are so many strong people. and i have been there. but there is always doubt. there will always be doubt and for these people there will always be an undertone of anxiety, longing, question. and for those who let the doubt overtake the present state there will be broken legs and arms and a rocking soul. and for those who try to move, there may be the growth of new limbs or suffocation, face on the sidewalk, trambled by traffic.
