You’re in a powerful position [but only inside your head] when you can create your own basic utopia.
The reality of how we function with daily struggles allows us to look inside our circles of motion.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re living comparable to the tiny-ass hamster that runs laps intensely and endlessly on his tiny hamster wheel… just going, going… no beginning and no end… Then it’s time to rest in peace.
Not like rest in peace because you die… rest in peace because it describes exactly what we are supposed to do REST. IN. PEACE.
So, how do we find our utopia where we can go rest in peace?
We find it when we’re about to lose the priceless prize.
It’s in this abandoned space that we re-discover there is magic in broken places.
How magical is it to see a dandelion blooming in cracks of sidewalks… or in abandoned parking lots
The dandelion does this because it doesn’t wait for everything to be perfect.
It simply creates its own basic utopia where it can rest in peace and flourish before it loosens up its clusters of white hairy seeds to be blown away by a breeze. It recycles itself like this…
The dandelion is imitation proof.
As I write this… I asked myself if I am writing from an ‘insider’ or ‘outsider’ or a ‘perspective’…. Maybe it’s from all of the above.
Taking a step back [like when an artist steps back to look at their creative artwork] I did the same…
However, I stepped back to look at my life.
Am I heading towards my very own not so basic utopia?
No…
I have been like the tiny-ass hamster that runs laps tensely and endlessly on his tiny hamster wheel… just going, going… no beginning and no end…
Living like this is NOT going to get me to my very own not so basic utopia.
I recently wrote that I have learned to come to the keyboard with a knife and not be afraid to use it… in other words, I simply bleed on paper by putting my torn out, hung out thoughts on my keyboard
I recently discovered that it takes a lot of heavy lifting to create anything that will continue to work even when it doesn’t work.
This is how I re-discovered my not so basic utopia… It’s always with me [inside my heart and head].
…and it’s imitation proof like the dandelion that blooms in hard sidewalk cracks –
