"You could learn,
The mirror tells me, late at night
But lacks conviction.
One reflected eyebrow quivers a little."
The mirror tells me, late at night
But lacks conviction.
One reflected eyebrow quivers a little."
-- Mathematics
One of my favorite poets, Jane Hirshfield and a clip from her poem Mathematics. Life is about growing, learning, changing...so why is it that more often than not one lacks the true conviction to do so? Is it out of pure disregard or laziness? For me, it is in the fear of letting go. Deviating from societies plan. Nothing frightens me more than the sensation of loosing all control. Yet, I try to remind myself that it is in those moments of pure fate that life is most in control and that timing is ultimately the largest player in destiny.
Tonight conviction to let go is my willing accomplice.
