Inspiration from the Sycamore
Yes, we can improve our mindset by watching the trees
See the sycamore
in spring and autumn attire,
so very different,
with canopies of green and gold,
dense and sparse.
It does not long for one season
while living in another.
It knows what is needed, when.
It knows how to roll
with the rhythm of seasons.
It does not focus on wanting,
but on giving,
in as many ways as possible:
food, shade, air,
melody, soil nutrition, shelter,
peace, inspiration galore.
Let us learn a thing or two
from this magnificent plant,
and shape our mindset
with positive traits.
Let us be like sycamore,
expect less and offer more.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
