• Phases

  A quick blog before I attack my work.  

  Phases.  When things are hard, we are taught that all things will only last for a short time and the pain will eventually subside.  I love this thought and in yoga the teacher always reminds us of this.  She correlates a ridiculous move she has us doing for 2 minutes to how we struggle in life and how eventually after its done we feel good and we know we have endured and even some have conquered.  

  I was listening to the radio and Usher was on singing "cuz we in too deep, cant imagine giving it up.  But I never knew love, would hurt like a heart attack."  Something like that.   And it occurred to me that Usher is singing the same songs I been hearing since high school.  Its true that all things do past, but I believe if you continue to do the same mistakes over and over again you will be trapped in a phase you might not want to be.   Hearing about Usher's life through the radio and all his illegitimate children and from what he writes on, it makes me think that he is more or less the same guy I knew that sang confessions 9 years or so back.  I dont know the guy personally though so I can not say.  

  And it makes sense right.   Although each trial by fire can only be so long,  there is nothing to say about how long we hurt if we keep walking into the same fire.   My eloquence is lacking this morning so I apologize.  

  I guess what I am saying is phases can becomes seasons and these seasons can bring on more suffering than need be.  

  Walk away, heard them say
  Poisoned hearts will never change
  Walk away again
