dear reader,
I just want to give a shout out
to a man
named michael
who I met on
morning’s hostel
balcony
in Denver
‘yes you can. I’ve done it and so can you.’
michael
a man with
long hair
from texas
who advised me
not to travel to
a job in montana
advised me to revise
to take the $250
I had
and create
a new plan
and I knew I could
because michael told me
‘yes you can. I’ve done it and so can you.’
‘Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.’
and what happened later that day
I still can’t touch
but!
I promise
you’ll be the second to know
when I can
with the choice to take the stairs,
as michael,
