RENEWABLE
ENERGY
Paralyzed? Energized?
It happens every day.
Sometimes it's an accident,
but
99 out of 100 times
it's people -
it's people -
people paralyze me -
people energize me.
Deep
below the ground
of
my being are these hidden
sources
of energy - some
positive
- some negative - memories
- half-remembered moments -
- half-remembered moments -
the
good, the bad and the ugly -
triggers ... instigators ... connectors.
triggers ... instigators ... connectors.
The
bad and the ugly
are often comments or put downs
that
poke and probe my psyche.
Sometimes
they push me
over
the edge and I crash
and I end up paralyzed.
Hopefully, luckily, blessed is
the ear of a friend or a word
from
their heart that tells me
they hear
my words and worries
and
I’m re-energized.
Paralyzed!
Ugh. No!
Energized!
Yes. Thank you!
