Commuter Bicycle Bridge: Pencil on paper 20x24

My Samurai’s delimma

Pace yourself.
Change takes energy.
You are no longer made of steel.
You cast it off.

You spoke it away in the wind with a lioness’ roar.

This being that wore that steel has fought foes and stood.
Stood so still and withstood it all.

That time for steel is passing.

A task is coming that requires different armor.
This is the task you ask for.
The task of change.
The armor you will need is vastly different because the battle is vastly different.

Clothe your self in love and vulnerability. Seek others similar. Together mountains will be climbed.

There is a piece of you that has been in God’s hand for a millennia.
This task of putting the rest of you there is time consuming, unsteady, treacherous, demanding, thrilling, exhilarating, exhausting, inconsistent and lasts forever.

How would we measure the enormity of life passing in this task?

One day at a time.

For that moment that is today, celebrate
