The night keeps to itself,
hides its details. Your senses
must be sharp.
The day is more brazen, it is
what it is, becoming as
obvious as confusing.
Day or night, you notice when
one meets the other it is
at its beginning or its end.

Clarity takes time and acceptance.
We may struggle to understand each facet of daily life as it is presented to us; life itself moves far too swiftly. How often are we permitted the space and reality to consider what it has done to us, or what we are doing with it.
Life is one big concept. It changes, as we do, at times with no notice. How can we comprehend the capacity of our own timeline when variables continue to inflict unknown control?
This is life; at its core there is indelible authenticity. Find your own truth, first and foremost. By understanding your own context, you will be more capable of dealing with that of others.
It can be daunting. Radical acceptance becomes more crucial than radical thought.

The days are not always easy and,
many times, will seem unexpected.
There are periods where it’s simply
not going your way, or seems to be
moving in the wrong direction. Life
is lived as it is, at the time or in the
moment. It is what it is, at times will
get better, and you continue seek far
more consistency. Rarely do you take
charge of your life the way it appears
to take hold of you. It just happens.
You feel time expand and contract as
you grow older. It is a force you will
live with and don’t always notice how
life goes on. Until you do. That’s life.
