It's been just over a month since I packed the back of my car and drove out west for a new opportunity in life. It's been a wild ride... There's nothing like the feeling of packing up everything that you own in the back of your car, leaving your community of friends, and the place that you called "home" and forging into this great world.
It's been hard being away from what I call home.
But...
Sometimes we must sacrifice the good for a chance at greatness.
This excerpt from Anis Mojgani's "Shake The Dust" is yet a simple message, but one to take at heart...
<<<< So grab this world by its clothespins and shake it out again and again and jump on top and take it for a spin and when you hop off shake it again for this is yours.
Make my words worth it, make this not just another poem that I write, not just another poem like just another night that sits heavy above us all.
Walk into it, breathe it in, let is crash through the halls of your arms at the millions of years of millions of poets coursing like blood pumping and pushing making you live, shaking the dust.
So when the world knocks at your front door, clutch the knob and open on up, running forward into its widespread greeting arms with your hands before you, fingertips trembling though they may be.>>>>
Flux... then shake the dust...
