This is the first weekend since September that my little self hasn't been headed toward or standing outside a college football stadium. At the first game of the season, a skinny red-headed female who knew football sat next to me. Tell me that you love defense at a football game and I'll buy you Dairy Queen banana splits for the rest of your life. Which reminds me that last night one of the dreams about giving the head coach an earfull. Needless to say, his performance is disappointing. Nobody's perfect. So we're all just swimming around seeking out an acceptable island of imperfection to erect our broadcast towers of self on.
She doesn't even need a drummer to march. The scar beneath her eye is more about the beating her opponent took. She'll start it and she'll end it. Her path is narrow and best left clear. It hurts most of the time to reach in with intended help and end up getting cut. The first one isn't always the deepest. Maybe she is just a mean, little girl, some soulless wildcat twisting toward total destruction. Maybe she's just tuned in to a special frequency inaudible to the mass of "hand me the sign and show me the arrow." She makes the "us," "them," and "me" categories confusing. Maybe that's her purpose.
Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom - Buddha
