I’m usually pretty good about doing things I don’t want to do. I’ve been alive long enough to know that getting starting is always the hardest part. But nothing is harder for me to start than doing weights.I say “doing” weights because I don’t actually lift anything other than myself.

Life is interesting with its light and darkness. Now, the nights are cool, the days bright and sunny. Sunflowers and rabbit brush announced autumn, the time when wildflowers run riot with color and the forest is invaded with piñon pickers and wood gatherers.

Curious eyes sparkle like the Milky Way, Clay sun, mirrors the land from where I am. Curled up too long to stretch my purple heart, Dreams unsure, in silver glitters, they swam.Arrows pointing everywhere, I just roll, Stories connecting sunspots on my cheeks.

I blink my eyes, came waves of fiery red, Rushing from my chest, my heart’s torn apart. Dragged to the vastness, broke the heavenly thread, Warrior of the sky, a fallen braveheart.Loudness skips a note, silence has disguised, Beasts of the land, running to wail instead.
