A Mind Off-Grid, Nr.01 - The Cycle of "The Thing"

(photo credit: aaron-greenwood-u4-CfwOplpU-unsplash)

For a while I thought it was a bad thing
but giving it some time to breathe and tell its story

I subsequently saw it was a good thing
and further allowing it to play out long and free

I eventually experienced it a just a thing.

Indulging it with yet more time
I observed the thing in other people
and finally far away on the distant horizon;

as I sub-consciously waved it a mental ‘bye-bye’
the next bad thing was slowly creeping up on me.
