How to make reign with your words.

5/6/2012

 
This feat is done by knowing
who's agenda is on
your plate,
your pillow,
your paycheck,
your promises.

Who's orders are you carrying out?

It's a terribly inconvenient question to ask and answer.
But it is how reign is made.

Walls.
They don't cave,
but sometimes WE do.
Our inner _____ collapses
from the weight of outer _____.

So we must ask the Architect:

"Exactly how much pressure
is the structure of my life
designed to withstand?
Am I in need of upgrades,
reinforcements, maybe
a complete gutting?"

Oh, wait.  What's that?
I am the Architect?

Yes.

I am the Architect.
And fore(wo)man.

It's up to me to speak
and write accordingly.

Your pen is a hammer.
Build.

    The question "How are you?" is PROFOUND.

    ​But it has been watered-down to a synonym for "Hello."

    Forced or fake auto-responses of obligated okay-ness are expected.

    (And if you are going through something tragic, it really doesn't matter! Every social encounter OPENS with this well-established Ritual of Insincerity.)

    The question "How are you?" prompts an answer that begins with "I AM _____________." 

    This means many times each day, you are invited to SPEAK THE MOST POWERFUL STATEMENT that can be spoken of yourself.

    And the socially-expected thing to do, is be QUICK + SLICK with your answer.

    For a change... TAKE YOUR TIME, and tell your truth.
