Anything Is Better Than This
Deliciousness happens when you move towards the tension.
Power.
Ecstasy.
Freedom.
Truth.
Yet most people do everything they can to avoid it.
It’s dangerous.
It’s uncomfortable.
It’s all too much.
Better to stay safe, comfortable and small than to actually leap into the unknown.
Better to complain.
Better to be bored.
Better to stick with what doesn’t work.
At least there are no surprises there.
Better to blame others,
the government,
the past,
the moon,
for all that’s going wrong.
Better to light up than to feel the tension.
Better to pour one than to feel the tension.
Better to binge than to feel the tension.
Better to overwork than to feel the tension.
Better to act powerless than to feel the tension.
Better to avoid that person, that call, that truth.
Better to lie, to hide, to cheat, to stay.
Better to just remain in the illusion that all is okay.
Anything is better than standing in one’s full power,
in the truth of each moment,
in the endless tension that it brings.
Anything is better than that.
Until it isn’t.
Then you just stop caring.
All the fucks? Gone.
Making others comfortable? Done.
Caring what they think? As if.
Risking it all? No such thing.
There are no risks.
There's nothing to lose.
There's only truth.
There’s only YOU.
