Ugly wisdom

Moss and saplings cover and intrude under a canopy of blue light. Uncomfortable frustrating experiences creating a space of knowing, a kind of wisdom. Wisdom based on fear, making you mindless and almost superstitious.

The ugly wisdom.

The kind that compels you to park in the same area, sit in the same area and walk the same trails because they work, they are familiar. The burl, the reaction, that brings you to respond with a quick no so that you don’t say yes.

The ugly wisdom

Soon comes a gentle breeze expelling last nights rain off your leaves. Soon comes light and with it change.

  1. I like this. I’ve developed a lot of anxiety over the years and find comfort in such small familiar places, however, it doesn’t stop me from trying new things and finding new favorites.

    1. Thank you Melanie. It’s so hard to balance comfort with growth but it’s sounds like you are making it work. Great job!
