Some days this crazy feels turned all the way up.
Sloshing over the lip of sanity’s cup.
Energy bubbling under deceptive calm.
Forcing our mindfulness is a middling balm.
Not quite in the range to define as manic.
Yet, greater than baseline; this managed panic.
As all things forever do, this too shall pass.
The ride’s still no fun; thru life’s bottlenecked glass.
The stayed center, the calm, the core & the chi…
These mapped data points to bring me back to me.
