The Spread of Tragic Destiny

No matter the tragic way, in which one may start the day, it is helpful to know, there's a way to let it show. You may show it blankly, or show it fully, but please do not lie about it. Lies only spread the tragedy further.

If your way of life has burned down, rebuild. But not today. Leave today to gather the rubble. Sift through what remains. Take a look at what has been left. How could I have forgotten this person? Where did this picture come from? I had forgotten all about her! And then your rebuilding efforts will come from this. You have remembered. And it is time to start anew.

If something hurts and breaks your spirit, sit a spell. You may find yourself remembering it in detail. Building it within your heart only to feel it breaking again. It will not break completely. Or perhaps it has. And now you are left with, again, pieces. But the pieces hold a strength together or apart. The spirit is broken, but all is well, all is well. Sit a minute and replan. Is revenge on your mind? Ok. Let it be. But let the new plan stake out a new direction. Wherever shall we go? It is one thing we have: the ability to find out. To be unaware and yet try that thing. The options are limitless, and let them be fresh. You will not sit and wait for certain madness to sink in. Just set out and walk, once it's quiet again.

If the whole land has erupted with pain and displeasure, watch from some point. If animals lose their beauty and one day rebel, think of them as they are. Point by point we cover this plane. Clouds roll on by.

Each one of us will hear the music of a heart torn symphony. We will walk to it for a while. It will possess us in our walk. It will carry us when we stop. But it will not cease its music. It will evolve, yet be as it always was.

Remember that a friendly path is to follow.

Those days and nights so strong, within them we do belong.
