Day 3 Stagnant

This took me twenty minutes, but I actually don't hate it

The algae blooms in still waters. The place I’ve made my home.

Workplace comedies suck like it’s always a “relatable” and objectively a miserable job and it’s never funny and just makes me think some people need to put effort into finding alternative work bro

Laziness is like a weed. Weeds can do a number of things, but mostly, they compete with crops for nutrients while also robbing them of water, light, and space. Weeds also release substances that prevent crop growth, hinder crop development, and host pests and pathogens that attack healthy crops.

Likewise, laziness steals the nutrients that we need in order to nurture our God-given gifts and talents. It stunts our spiritual growth and prevents us from developing in our relationship with God. Laziness, especially in our faith, welcomes and invites demonic influence in our lives, ultimately plaguing any healthy fruit that may have already been produced. And in the end, we inevitably become unfruitful.

An idle apple tree that refuses to yield edible apples in the kingdom of God serves no purpose and will be hewn down.

A Dream

By: me

I thought leaving would give me something new,

And I guess it has.

A new place to lay my head,

A new place to spend my days,

Even new people to surround myself with.

But it all feels the same.

I thought I’d have freedom

Maybe a new mindset

A fresher air to fill my lungs.

But the air here is thin,

And I still feel like I’m suffocating.

Every day is a battle to get out of bed.

Sleep has always been my only refuge.

I don’t have to meet expectations,

I don’t have any responsibilities,

And if I’m lucky, I can dream.

Dream of true freedom,

Dream of home,

Dream of her,

Even a nightmare would be better than this.

Nightmares make me feel something,

The adrenaline makes me feel alive.

They may be terrifying,

But at least it’s still a break from my rotten reality.

I can’t remember the last time I had a good dream,

One that I can look back on and smile.

Every time I lie in bed,

I want a dream that makes me feel something.

But most nights,

It’s just sleep.

The days grow colder,

And the days get shorter,

But every day still drags on longer and longer.

I hope I can dream tonight.

Even nightmares are a refuge,

From my cold, stagnant life.

If you’re stuck, volunteer.

Take action in a field you are interested in.

Be willing to work for free and you’ll be surprised by the opportunities that come your way.

Namaste

When I take the time to write - my mind feels so free… so clear. My heart feels full, accepting and welcoming. I feel ease in my steps and peace in my being.

When I don’t write - I feel stuck, blocked, stagnant and heavy. Frustration comes quickly. The static is more bothersome. I reject everything and everyone.

Stagnant

Stopped at every red light

Insisting that it's all right

And darkness clouds my eyesight

I don't feel quite so well

My sister's looking sheepish

She's skinned both of her knees and

People are acting sleazy

They don't think I can tell

Excuses getting lamer

Head isn't any tamer

I kinda need a savior

They would prob'ly fail

"It is not always a matter of laziness. Sometimes we are simply busy maintaining what we have devoted so much time to building, and we have neither the time not the energy to take it to the next level. Or perhaps true change scares us?"

Isn't it funny how we just think things will go on as they are?
