If you do what feels right
and you stop explaining
yourself
your nature will open-up, like clouds
exposing, a limitless blue sky.
I admire
philosophers
because they do what they want
and the test is how well you can do it
like any addiction, it has to be defeated each day.
People can’t wait to sleep
because they have nothing to look forward to.
It’s not crazy, to be you
and the more often that you do you, the more sunlight there will be
the rain falls on the depressed, and they throw buckets at each other
Their opinions, belong to them
Don’t exchange shame with shame
The world is waiting
for your gift of grace.

But sometimes, we are, challenged by others, and we feel, compelled, to defend what we do and why we do it.

Yes, I know the feeling, taurusingemini! The mountain doesn’t need to defend itself; it just is. Become big enough, stay silent enough, and people will hike all over you. They will enjoy your beauty. They don’t criticize the mountain, unless it blows up, but then, how can they argue with a force of nature?
