QUICK

Quick!

Now,

Now,

NOW!

The best be the best.

It’s the only way.

I blow in from the North,

A blasting gust of wind,

Focused,

Directional,

Moving.

The time is NOW,

I say out loud,

Almost in a shout.

There is no failure.

There is only winning.

I won’t let anyone stand in my way,

If they do,

They face the wrath of my green gusts,

I could blow them over.

Team work?

What is that?

There is only me,

I couldn’t possibly trust someone else to do the work for me,

Or even with me.

There is only me.

Either way,
I’ve got this.

I get jealous easily,

But this fuels my competitive nature.

Sometimes my mind races with all of the possibilities I can bring into the world,

There is so much to do,

There is so much I feel,

 And my thoughts,

Racing,

Racing,

Racing.

What if someone takes my place?

What if I lose?

What if my land is taken from me?

What if I get sick and can’t finish this project?

Paranoia fills my mind,

Body and mind fighting for space in my conscious awareness.

Everyone seems so sure in their place,

So sure about their projects,

So safe in their homes.

So well in their minds.

I can’t believe they live like that,

I can’t believe he’s wearing that.

Does she really listen to that?

It’s all just so not the way.

I feel as if on the edge of a great precipice,

Ready to blow right now,

Teetering on the edge,

Practically leaning over.

If I needed to,

I could easily sprout wings if pushed.

I could fly with the breeze,

Just dare me.

I know there are others things I could learn that will help me,

I know you know them,

Why wont you tell me?

What are they?

Come on!

Share!

I know if I only knew the secrets they know,

I could do SO much more.

I could work harder and more efficiently,

I could change the world so quickly,

I could make it all happen for all of us.

Those who came before me,

Have paved the way for my knowing,

So that I could do it too,

But I did it much faster,

Much better,

Than they.

I know that when my friends call,

There’s something else going on,

So I clue in to the hidden messages,

They think I don’t know but I do.

Yes,

I have friends.

But for how long will we be that close?

They’ll probably float away at some point like all the rest.

They seem so sure.

How can that be?

They’re so nice to me,

Probably because they want something.

I can’t get too close or they’ll learn my weaknesses.

But wait!

They are doing something totally different from me,

They don’t have the same dreams and goals as I do,

They are on their own journey.

No one is actually coming to get me,

They don’t want anything more than my friendship.

Perhaps I am to just be?

Maybe this is really all that’s needed?

Maybe, since I’ve already started,

I’ve already succeeded?

This is all I wanted,

In its mere existence in the now,

And now,

And now,

And now.

I’ve already succeeded just by doing and being!

Oh what joy!

My winds calm,

But steady,

Blowing and being,

Flowing and seeing.

Being and feeling.

I am sure.

With confidence and pride,

With great green gusto and power,

I perceive my path clearly,

I take action,

Make it happen,

And AM

To the center of the Mandala,

I go.
