The rebirth of that Ram

A singular point, a singular spark, 

A singular concentrated centre of raw potential —

That first spark of life,

Let us take life headfirst. Why not?

Be set ablaze. Feel the vitality surging through your veins, the primacy of your youth expanding your horizons farther than the eye can see. Your heart, your soul, your gut, your instincts know what lies beyond. You can feel it. Honor that tug, honor that pull. I care not if your immediate physical senses can perceive what is beyond that distant horizon. 

Live, live, live. Live. Live. Live your life. Live a life you love. Love the life that you have chosen, for it is all your choice. You are at the wheel. This is a choose-your-own-adventure. The essential truth of life is your own potency. Be confident. You should. Self-belief is critical to creating and following your highest bliss. 

Why pick up a sword if you think it too dull to be of use? How can you live as both sword and the one wielding if you do not trust your own potency? 

You are capable of so, so much. Do you see that rising Sun? Do you feel its blazing heat? Do you not realize that you are the same? Do you not realize that it is your choice entirely, your choice alone, whether you nestle comfortably in the shade, ignoring Helios’s expanses, or if you step out into the burning Phoenix’s eye, and allow yourself to be seen, allow yourself to live as your spirit would demand? 

This life was meant to be lived intensely, truly, fully and totally. Throw yourself into all of your endeavors. Do not hold back. The key to a life without regret is in squeezing that sponge of your heart totally and completely dry, the waters of your soul having been released fully and totally into this world. To be on the deathbed with still yet more to give, yet to be without a body, a vessel, a tool to enact it, is to be choked by one’s own mistakes. The only mistake truly made is in not trying, is in not going out to be. Look at this grand world, its infinite horizons. How can you sit in what is comfortable and not want to scream, to howl, to fight and punch and kick and not allow what’s in your heart to burn, burn, burn, even if you get scorched? Realize that you can set others ablaze, too, allowing the fire of your spirit and soul to create an even greater and more wild flame, that flame’s name truth — 

Thank you, thank you, thank you to those spiritual traditions who remind me that our mind can be our greatest enemy. That mind of mine! Equal parts wings, equal parts deadweight. What will I make it today?

Today, I choose wings. Today, I choose passion. Gooseflesh, chills, a swelling in my heart. I feel electric, I feel alive. 

I feel me.
