Sep 20, 2013 Awake in Real Time: Coffee-induced Meditations and Journal Entries

How much emotion is too much emotion?

Is it good to feel too much?  What about insulating oneself from grief, after grieving deeply?  Because, theoretically, grieving never ends.  However, in the interests of staying sane, we spend a little time in grief, and then resolutely move one leaving behind a blue pool of pain.

Someone else will come along and trip and fall into it.  We all get wet.

Too much wetness.

Is too much emotion an indulgence?

Sometimes, just sometimes, I let things slip and let a surging wave of feeling crest over me.

I don’t try and surf it, as I’m often tempted to, and wont to do.

Drowning is scary.

Boot-Foot and Bug

©By Vijaya Sundaram

April 8th, 2013

Emotion comes and goes

A storm that seems so strong

Once it’s over, it’s done.

I know it, but do they?

I dislike emotion.

An annoyance it is,

A silly distraction,

A pointless indulgence.

All that bursting, bleeding

Self-serving sentiment,

A foolish, maudlin thought

That the world really cares.

Somewhere a bug dies in

Terrible pain killed by

A monstrous boot-foot which

Does not care or know it.

Better to just crawl off

Fly away, flee away

Right out of that boot-foot.

Avoid, avoid that foot!

~~~~~~~~~~~The End~~~~~~~~~~~~

P.S. This is all I could come up with today.  No wise words, no deep-fried descriptions, no universal truths, no lush language.  Today is Spartan fare.  That’s all, folks!
