Chicken in India
Mint a mile high
Colorful cages painted with brown branches, golden skies, blue raindrops, emerald crowns on the tops of trees
Freedom is jumping back into one’s cage of self and never escaping into captivity again
Aware of the grease, the bones, the gristle of a “chicken”
You’re done
Freedom.
This is about to be a 6 minute butt load of randomness. I am at work and this is not designated blog time. But I need to “journal” and this is my digital release.
I’ve been waking up tired and uninterested in beginning my day lately. I am not used to this. I went from waking up at 430am at the beginning of the year, to not getting sleep, to waking at 530 to a random 515 to now turning my alarm off and today staying in bed until 615 while I listened in on my 6am prayer call. Its taken me 53 days to figure out that I need to get consistent with my sleep and routines (especially before and after bed).
I can not do what I want when I want how I want because it causes a chain reaction of tired attitude needing pumpingupness. And I am not here for it. My family, friends, students, and I suffer when I don’t give myself what I know I need. Sleep. Rest. Time. Energy. God.
So, let me just get my life together on here:
Wednesday:
430: eye apt
530: gym (strong MAYBE) OR paper purge (more necessary…maybe I can do both)
My gym is too packed. It irritates me and to workout at my complex gym is a JOKE. I’ll get the paper together tonight and gym it up tomorrow (MAYBE).
700: eat
800 clean and bed prep (listening prayer, meditation, rest IN BED)
I got distracted and my time is up…
Oh and yesterday I did the hard work of letting someone I love know that our relationship is going to need to look differently because its what’s best for me and for him. I have NEVER done that in my own strength. I’ve always been abandoned or “forced” to let go. How freeing to make a conscious and mature decision to guard my heart and obey God. Freedom: absence of fear. I’ll let him go and if he doesn’t fly out of the cage I created for him, we may both be able to soar on the outside. “Let’s see what happens…”
