Carl Sandburg; The poetry of Movement

Stillness is movement if not stagnant. To be still is a choice. To be stagnant is a choice. This choice in itself is movement.

 

If you don’t like where you are, move. Change what you are in suffrage over. Stop wallowing in self-pity or whatever muck is heavy around your feet.

 

We’ve all felt stuck a time or two, it is life after all. The magic carpet ride has a few dips as does the wave in the ocean. You are meant to ride these dips out, resurface. Rise to the top.

 

Find the flow, find the movement. It is then that you realize and recognize this feeling as freedom. Take it in. Ingest it. Feel it. Become it. This is grace. This is peace. This is harmony. This is the song.
