mental illness – face to face with the sky

the cure

if you feel sick
you probably need to create something.

(illness
=
blocked creative
energy
?)

the cure:
allow yourself to be sick for a while
& see what comes up.

when your heavy bones
 wish to sink to the depths
 go now to the quiet place
 where the world cannot 
overcome.

remember:

all of these things will pass.

thoughts
--
 feelings
--
 pain
--
 heartache
--

all will dissolve someday

replaced only by light.

your decision lies 

in the dissolving.

will you cling bitterly
 to sinking stones

or will you swim

flailing & gasping

to break the sunlit surface

& let that which does not serve you fall?

it is always our choice
yours and mine.

 this is our power.
