The Writing

Things happen everyday. They test your limits. Question your abilities. Reveal new traits.

Things happen everyday. And everyday you answer them. You find ways to overcome obstacles. Overcome differences.

Things happen everyday. And sometimes you get hit. You get hurt. You fall down.

Weakened and down.
a hand is held out. a hand of a person. a friend. a brother, sister.
and you grasp that hand and it pulls you up. Pulls you back up to where you belong. Gives you the posture you once had.

and sometimes you deny the offer. you brush that hand away, knowing it is for your own good. knowing for once you wanted to get up yourself. knowing for once you wanted to be able to help yourself. and maybe it takes you longer, maybe the process is slower, maybe you had to scrape your hands against the asphalt in the process, but you got up. in due time.

maybe you sit for a while. sit and think. stop and think. ponder. in deep thought. and maybe its what you needed. self reflection, thought, meditation. maybe its what you were missing.

Peace. with yourself; it left you.
Balance. gone.

Thought. stays within. resides within. lives within.
And thought. thinks for itself.

Karma.
