But Words, They Always Come

9.21.2012

 

Autumn called, it didn’t write

It didn’t laugh, it didn’t cry

It simply called, to say hello

It never has a reason

 

Winter stormed, right through the door

Broke our hearts and left us sore

Left a mess and walked away

He’s always best when leavin’

 

Spring was left in winter’s wake

With all this mess, oh what to make?

Of this, she chose to wash it clean

She’s always good at pleasin’

 

Last, not least, in summer danced

Showing us our second chance

She warmed us up and kissed our lips

She gave us all a reason

 

So often, we cannot make sense

Of loss and hurt and innocence

But with each mess he leaves behind

A new spring comes and helps us find

A lightness that was once forgot

A healing that cannot be taught

An enemy? Oh, time is not

For change comes with the season

When There Are No Words

Words aren’t coming. They’re in there. My mind, that is. But they aren’t sure how to come out. This is not my tragedy. This is not my story to tell. Still, it haunts me. I don’t want to live in fear. No one does. So I’ll continue to make plans and drive on highways and call my mom when ever I arrive safely. I’ll keep taking photos and seeing friends and smiling when the weather is that perfect combination of cloudless sky and crispy air. We all will. But that’s life. It’s that fleeting, remarkable, breathtakingly blue day. It’s that first day of Autumn when you catch yourself happy when others are suffering. It’s that here today, gone tomorrow, where does the time go, how could this happen, I just don’t understand sometimes moment that plants itself in the middle of a beautiful week. When there are no words, when there are no answers, no reasons, no explanations, all we can do is hold onto what we do have, even tighter than we did before.

The Little Nut Who Held Its Ground, Part II

September 19, 2012 – A comment from a reader

I know these posts were done a while ago, but I discovered your blog while researching paleo and was pleasantly surprised to find that where you were two years ago is pretty much where I am now – post-graduation, un(der)employed, broke, panicking, trying to fix nutrition, exercise, outlook to improve the rest. It’s good to read about someone having a similar experience who came out the other side… gives me hope. Thanks for the pick-me-up!
