Pivoting

"Some days,
you and I go mad.
Our bellies
get stuffed full,
Hearts break
minds snap.
We can't
go on the old way so
We change.
Our lives pivot,
Forming a mysterious geometry."

Deng Ming-Dao

Life evolves. You cannot go back one minute, or one day. In light of this, there is no use marking time in any one position. Life will continue without you, will pass you by, leaving you hopelessly out of step with events.

On certain days, we come to our limits, and our tolerance for a situation ends. When that happens, change without the interference of concepts, guilt, timidity, or hesitancy. Those are the points when our entire lives pivot and turn toward new phases, and it is right that we take advantage of them. We mark our progress not by the distance covered but by the lines and angles that are formed.
