Merely musing

I am merely mortal
Hence I will laugh at that which or who makes me feel alive

Conquer or be Conquered

“I have to keep facing the darkness. If I stand tall and face the thing I fear, I have a chance to conquer it. If I just keep dodging and hiding it will conquer me.”
Mary Pope Osborne, My Secret War: The World War II Diary of Madeline Beck, Long Island, New York 1941      

WHY I’VE CHOSEN THIS QUOTE.

I’ve been letting the dark extinguish all light. I have basically been a wuss. It is the start of a new week. Unfortunately this day starts with an M. but  go look outside your window. check  that cloud out and look for the silver lining..

My passion for life, just recently got ran over by a steam roller and flattened me out, Rolling me out like a  piece of dough, taking all the air- like passion out of me.

We all have our struggles. Shit, it sometimes a lot of the times may  seem like hiding under the duvet covers and growling at anyone who dares to step their big toe into my bedroom like a good idea.

How many times have we done that one?

What did we achieve?

what did we learn?

So how can I big myself up?

 I could hire out a cheerleader and personal mascot to follow me around for the week shouting

GO DAISY!  GO DAISY! D.A.IS.Y. -WHAT DO YOU GET ? DAISY! 

If I did this I may end  up in prison by the end of the week under murder charges for temporarily losing my mind and killing a cheer leader and mascot.

Imagine it. All week. That would drive me nuts!

I’m going to use my busy week to learn.

I know for a fact,that if I 100%

engage in my life this week;I will become bigger in spirit and character and I will learn more. I will evolve. 

 Come Sunday . I will no longer be who I am today.

I’m kind of nosy how that is going to turn out.

Change is good . Push yourself.

I think the idea of being conquered sucks. I know how much of a buzz I get when I push myself and I DO  what I set out to do. I go on a natural high.

I am usually quite successful in all that I  take on.

I’m worried that I won’t have enough time to be a Mom, partner and put the effort I usually do into my  blog and reading other blogs because:

  • I’ve got my hair trial

  • Make up re trial

  • Food tasting for the wedding

  • Run through for the wedding

  • suit hunting

  • ring hunting

  • dentist

  • Bella Bee back at school

  • long hours of group  facilitating  training  on Tuesday and Wednesday

  • More long hours of training with a different organisation on Friday

  • Exercise every day

I know it may not sound like a lot. To me it is a huge challenge considering how I have been feeling lately.

I’m so going to own this week.

Make a list of what you have to do. By all means focus on one day at a time. You don’t want to freak yourself out

Oh and please be fucking kind to your self. I hear this a lot.

#FollowGreatFootsteps with Charlie Zero the poet

“The only way your soul will ignite – is if you press your ears against curiosities chest.
That is true madness waiting to undress inspiration.” ~ Charlie Zero #FollowGreatFootsteps

 There is no need for me to do a quote today because the Avant-garde poet Charlie Zero beat me to it 😀  – If you want to challenge yourself this poets blog is  your  go to place . I will warn you. You may need a dictionary. Charlie Zero’ advice to me..

If the words

Surrealist                Avant Garde            Weird         Visionary  -speak to you .

You will have it in triple doses. Read his Bio-.  and read his latest poem – ‘Captain Anyflop’ – it  left my head spinning 360 degrees

I woke up to this quote. It is a bit surreal but I have so much respect for people who blog who come up with their own quotes. So why this quote ? in Charlie Zero’s own words

“My quote and I came up with it since last year.

This quote to me represents who I am as a poet and how far I take my writings to the next level of weird/bizarre/trip to the odyssey.”

CHARLIE ZERO BIO 

What do I make of this quote?

I think for me ; humans always want to know things. We gossip, we want answers all the time. We naturally far too curious for our own good sometimes.

If you want to really extend your knowledge and give a kick to your mind and entire being you need to go to the source of your curiosity. Cut out the  middle man.

It is madness in a way because you are walking into a land you have no clue as to what you will find.

But by seeking out knowledge stripped of everything -ego and allow the truth of your discovery to to sink in –

you will find something that shakes you to your core and inspires you to live with fire in your belly.

Of course my interpretation can be completely  wrong. It is all about the effort, right? 😀  😀  – I’m trying here 🙂
