Sharp and Wild

When you move forward into discomfort,

into an uncertain future,

into the danger

of new learning,

you are condemning yourself

to change.

Insidious

Insidious

I was walking along a couple of roads,
one turned to the sea, the wave, the water, the tide …
one sloped to the mountain, the scree, the rock, the peak …
I followed a breath like a hunter.

There were distractions,
high like eagles,
busy like bees,
imaginations
like sugar,
addictions,
paradise,
a sweet-shop shining
scent of fish
nectar,
pollen,
ice.

I was walking along a couple of roads
when the earth gave birth to twins,
and twins to twins
I followed a breath like a hunted fox.

We are all creatures
We’ve all been made the way we are.

We all create
we all make.

We’re creators
we all make things happen.

Our creations are
everything we make.

We are all creatives

– so why the hell
are some creatures awarded
the title “creative” (all bow).

Screw that way.
