layers like an onion.

"I search your profile for a translation, I study the conversation like a map - cause' I know there is strength in the differences between us, and I know there is comfort where we overlap."

I am still learning to prepare myself for the dips and turns and ups and downs of the road I am on. Unfortunately, I am still not very good at preparation and I have a very weak stomach these days. I would like to know what's ahead of me, have some kind of overlay map to go by when I start on the journey every morning - but much to my dismay, this is a hot commodity... and I am yet to have any clue. However, I am still smiling - dirt on my face, cuts on my knees.. pushing onward. That's something you get good at when you have no balance (with all the falling) you learn to get up, dust off... keep going. I don't have time, or patience to stay angry - I let it surge through me, feel it to the fullest, process whatever it is and move on. The problem, or issue or whatever it is may be unsolved - but I do not need to continue to feel anger and hatred. Breathe in through your nose, let it seep through every pore - and out through my mouth. Alas, another hill is waiting - and surely, another few scrapes and tears.
