My Armchair Philosopher is back. And he’s having the time of his life.
Choose to grow up
Do I prefer to grow up and relate to life directly, or do I choose to live and die in fear? –Pema Chodrön, The Places That Scare You
Are you sure you’re solving the right problem?
How do you know it? When chatting with clients, I often think I wrote a perfect summary of what they just said, ask “Is this what is happening?”, and get a “lol, no. you got it all wrong”. Well, at least I found out 5 minutes into talking to them rather than 50. In the world […]
Never before
Alone at night
I stare a the
Back raging sea
Fierce waves
Wash away the
Rock under my feet
No one can save you
I hum shyly and
All bursts into chant
The stars
Cloud and waves
Sway to the rhythm together
You ask if I’m okay
Maniacal laughter
Comes out of my lips
Never before
Have I felt
So fucking alive

You wicked beasts
I know you cannot hurt me
Since the flood what’s left
Of me is mostly water
I know you’re water too
Just like the rest of us
