a hand in the bush
is worth two in the guts of
some store bought turkey

say what you mean and
mean what you say but don't be
mean when you say it

zerothehero

frog came a courting
and married the mouse but they
were devoured post haste

was that some kind of
political statement or
do i think too much

zerothehero

it would be wise to
do all i can to avoid
having a damn stroke

i'm having symptoms
and then anxiety just
made it hella worse

but i'm not dying
it's a nerve in my neck so
i'll just live in pain

that is the way the
cookie crumbles i suppose
i ain't all dead yet

it got me thinking
about my old friend oxy
i've been down that road

ice and heat and rest
but no i'm sitting here like
a tapping addict

so this is good night
enough silliness for now
i need to lie down

Take care of yourself.
Do not push yourself too hard.
Remember to breathe.

sage advice gilmer
it's a hectic week at work
so ready to quit

Gilmer

That job really sucks:
You've said that since I've known you!
Soon may you retire!

zerothehero

i'm counting the days
and i only have about
30 of them left

then the job search starts
it's not like i can retire
but i'm out of there

zerothehero

i find peace in the
knowledge that there is no hope
all we have is now

Gilmer

Mindfulness is hard!
My mind races far ahead
To the land of dreams.

Gilmer

I love shredded beef
In sweet corn enchiladas
With red chile sauce.

zerothehero

accepting the past
and a future not yet here
requires true courage

zerothehero

i am not my thoughts
they emerge from the ether
and clutter quiet

zerothehero

basic goodness dwells
in the emptiness beneath
concept and desire

zerothehero

when there is nothing
but the breath and sensation
there is everything

zerothehero

a genuine heart
of sadness is courageous
and compassionate

zerothehero

the warrior spirit
tells us to lean into fear
rather than retreat

zerothehero

i will stand my ground
because there is no escape
from false enemies

zerothehero

we run from demons
that only exist in our
cooked-up delusions

zerothehero

when you stop to not
think about it you soon learn
the thought was the wound
