At some point in your life I reckon you need to take the metaphorical two steps back and take a good hard look at yourself. Not just the self you wake up and look at everyday, but the self that lives on in that tricky, ugly, tangled state of your tricky, sometimes ugly but not always tangled and also glorious mind called the past. For me personally, I believe that although this task may bring home some slightly confronting truths and may require a certain degree of the minimal resolve I possess to carry out tasks, I believe my looking into my tricky, sometimes glorious but not always tangled past is relatively pain free. For my other fellow complex human beings this is unfortunately not the case. Believe me its true. True and tricky and by no means a pretty thing to behold. Like a pissed, cornered and scared Cobra Ive watched certain unnameable fellow complex humans recoil and spit deadly venom from fangs hanging in their frightened mouths. From fangs that you swore you didnt know were there before. Well shit...it appears I could be talking about myself. Myself in the sense of myself of the past and not quite my current self. Because I have taken the metaphorical two step backwards journey and Ive looked long and hard and myself. Myself from my past and the self I wake up to everyday so I make decisions based on what I want for my future self and the fellow complex humans to take the metaphorical two step forward journey with me. I wont listen to your frightened and venomous words. Ive looked at me and I like what I see. I fancy I dont recoil and spit anymore and I am not frightened. I fancy myself a survivor and a complete member of the great evolution party. My plan is a good many more years on this planet we complex humans call Earth which means I have a tangible future to go with my tricky past so I may just surprise myself and spit from fangs someday again. For now my fangs are hidden and my eyes are open. Open to pay heed to the metaphorical signs on this metaphorical road paved for my metaphorical two step forward journey. And when I say two step, I mean Im skipping all the way forward because I am free. Free to choose. Free to decide and free to eliminate scared and corned cobras with frightened fangs hanging inside their mouths.
