Life.

Challenges cause confrontation. 

Confrontation leaves us vulnerable.

Vulnerability is hard.

Vulnerability requires strength.

But with strength, there is courage.

With courage comes action.

Action creates wisdom.

Wisdom to know when to fight, or release.

Trust the process, always think.

Relinquish or keep.   

Know yourself, weep.

Feel the emotions, they run deep.

Piercing the core with an orgasmic encore.

The sultry chemicals of emotion take over the body.

Rage.

Learn the tools, regulate. 

Heal the holes that weigh your down.

Feel your roots, feel the ground.

You are the universe.

Look all around.

Great one, lead the way.

Your greatness is yours.

In whatever fashion you adorn.

Need not be scared.

You’re more than prepared.

You’ve built your character. `

Your bones are integrity. 

Your heart is compassion.

Your muscles are grit. 

Breathe in the magic.

Breathe baby breathe.

The longing and the awe.

The pleasure...

You wouldn't believe the insight I gained from a clogged toilet. 

I know, I know, nothing sexy about it at all.

But hear me out. I learned more about myself from this situation that I could have ever thought possible. 

The other day the dreaded event happened. My toilet clogged. This rarely happens in my home, if at all. And if it does, all I usually have to do is wait a few minutes and the toilet will flush normally. 

But not this time.

I thrashed the plunger to no avail. I dumped in dish soap, boiling water, vinegar, epsom salt, baking soda. Nothing was working. My cat probably thought I was nuts. 

Frustrated, discouraged, and refusing to call I plumber, I reluctantly googled the spiritual symbolism of a clogged toilet because it's never been this unfixable and I have a habit of overanalyzing my problems to find the deep seeded root cause of the problem. 

Initially, I wasn’t going to google this because I tend to overthink things generally...
