we can not admit out loud that thinking is superfluous to success
we keep these thoughts within favoring action over reflection
we get things done rather than ponder why we do them
we have learned to doubt our right to lead the life we long for
the root of our longing may lie in the simple freedom of discovering the few things that matter to us
it takes exorbitant depths of courage to ask the difficult questions
intentions and goals where do these lead
what are we truly trying to get done here
all ideas creative or otherwise will be judged by reality
the output if you will
there’s the action again
stress test your plans
it seems easy to think then do
but more often than not the thinking goes only skin deep
so the doing blows idly along the gutters of this roadway
there is a more meaningful direction
are you brave enough to trust the ambiguity of your deepest directives
stop attending to the immediate alarms
there’s a quieter subject your mind is called to attend
