I recognize the patterns. I’ve been here before.
“3 things that you said”
They died to experience freedom / Because hope is a discipline / Where I am responsible for my anxiety.
Giving me more courage
I’m tripping that I can be like this / That I can / live like this / This measurement of one unit at a time.
My relationships are so broad, so deep / They want to know: / What is it that you want? / What do you need?
We aren’t equipped, trained / to bring structural analysis / to the institution of marriage
Fifteen year timeframe: / my aspirational vision, 2024 to 2039 / not setting myself up for disappointment
All of this in my mind’s eye / that’s the thing that is next / there’s something we are ideal for.
I barely work. I show up. I practice. / the vision you share. The embodiment.
We never know. We don’t know. And I don’t have expectations.
I recognize the patterns. I’ve been here before.
