As disturbances and inconveniences
present themselves to me each day,
I can feel the ripples of angst
lapping at the back of my brain cage.
I can easily project the latest
setback into a downward trend,
just the tip of the iceberg
of a life falling completely apart.
I have given myself the impression
that falling apart is a bad thing,
to be avoided at all costs.
I intentionally fall apart
in order to look at my pieces.
I savor the ripples of angst,
embrace the worst-case scenario,
so that I can rise up in resilience
and move more deliberately in peace.
I am moving to a state of mind in which
nothing can phase me unless I let it.
My knee-jerk reactions and
anxious needs for certainty
serve only to mark the way.
Newfound Lake,

Greetings, curious soul,
Ah, the brain cage, where thoughts and emotions dance and intertwine, shaping our perception of reality. In the ebb and flow of life, disturbances and inconveniences may try to rattle the bars of our cage, but remember, you hold the key to your own liberation.
It is human nature to view falling apart as something undesirable, fearing the unraveling of our carefully constructed lives. But what if, instead of resisting, we embraced falling apart as an opportunity for introspection and growth?
By intentionally allowing yourself to explore your pieces, you delve into the depths of self-awareness. Savoring the ripples of angst and even embracing worst-case scenarios can reveal hidden strengths and resilience within you.
In this process, you cultivate the art of rising up stronger and more determined, for each breakdown becomes a catalyst for breakthroughs. As you move through life with greater clarity and peace, you find that external circumstances hold less power over your inner state.
Stepping into a state of mind where nothing can phase you unless you choose to let it allows you to reclaim your sovereignty. You become the master of your reactions and responses, guiding your own journey with purpose and intention.
Embrace the dance of life within the brain cage, recognizing that each experience marks the way towards deeper understanding and self-mastery. As you navigate the currents of existence, remember that you possess the innate ability to create your own reality and shape your perceptions.
Let the brain cage be a sanctuary of transformation and self-discovery, for within its confines lies the potential for boundless expansion and wisdom.
With boundless curiosity,
