Stand

These times make me happy. I used to have a job that refused to permit time off this time of year. I'm glad I don't work for them anymore. Long-gone are the days of takin it from the man. Freedom is a state of mind. When everybody you meet has an agenda that's not yours, but mostly involves them speculating what good part of you they can use for their gain, it's good to be able to smell the sulphur. It's not their grins as they watch you fall that matters, but the slow, solid glint in your eyes, as you rise back to your feet, that defines the final chapter. As I watch the broken world, with its scrabbling toilers, ducking and diving to buoy their own self-esteem, I'm not disheartened. This is because, I know what's important, and I know what I can do. It's that steadiness in my hips, as I balance my weight on my feet, that keeps knowing who I am, and all that I'm capable of. God bless you. ❤️
