In The Direction of Your Best

Pabbi “Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can’t cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It’s just there, and you have to survive it.

You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it and run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal.” ~Cheryl Strayed

O Hounds! O Life!


O Hounds! O Life!

O hounds, o life!
Azure circle, catalyst of motion,
Gripped in shared obsession.

Curved planes of polymer and air,
Conduit of raw energy,
Binding in the primal dance.


In this dusty arena of instinct,
What ancient memories stir?
Of hunt and chase and pack,
Distilled to pure sensation.

O hounds, o life!
Teeth meet synthetic skin,
A tug-of-war with gravity and time.
In this fleeting struggle,
What eternal truths emerge?
