I'm your captain

Epictetus  born a slave   a Stoic philosopher

                                                    Amor fati  Latin    love of fate

not just acceptingactively loving everything that happens in life

the good

the bad

from the get-go as a boy his ambition means so many varied things to so many people

                                                                                                    his was to be happy with the good the bad

    he has been

hes grateful

 

she asked

             Do you think it’s come to you . . . innately? 

The bouncer coming in

The bouncer coming in?

Into life

          At the door

Ifya looked over your shoulder behind you a cupboard held attributes  topshelf  to utilise once in

    humored she softlysmiled delicate dimples

You.

        The way you see the way you tal . .

. . You missed the cupboar . .

. . The bouncer too.

                          I did.

I think helping myself to them didnt necessarily mean they were innate I was no tabula rasa was crazilyscribbled on was a palimpsest

                                        I just keep turning the tablet changing the angle to catch the light flip it over if wha Im looking for isnt there

I grabbed the brightlycoloured uninflated beachball

                                                       Happy

Ive relished slowly blowing it up

Cherishing its expanding sphere

Got to play with it early

When bad occasions

Deal with it

Rotate the ball

Find the slender green panel

Reminds me of a fresh sprout

 

I love being with you.

I love being with you
