...These have been in the pipeline a while now; just kicking them out and clearing the decks before I start serious study next week. I'd be fascinated to know if and how you think my "work" might be changing after that!! We shall see... Thanks anyway for ALL your wonderful support and encouragement over the past seven months already! You've enabled me to "train" and to be constantly inspired! Kate xx


PERSONAL TRAINER


He exercises me
Puts me through my paces
Commands my thoughts
My approach

My Coach

Training my mind
Testing my fitness:
He places his hand
on my heart -
I make no excuse

He's my Muse

Spurring me on,
he encourages me forward
Helps me up if I fall:
whether on face or ass -

He laughs!


Sometimes I fly too high,
get my fingers and wings burned,
invisible stairways crumbling
as I attempt to climb
inside his head...

Or I plunge too deep,
hitting rock bottom,
drowning in the bile
of my own stomach's pit
and suffocated by the vapours


But still I would jump
through hoops for him
Be the best for him
Give it my all for him

For he knows I am but his
physical energy
harnessed
and attuned to his mind


I may eventually
win the race

But
the glory
will go to

Him

A depthy tribute to the Mind and its Muse, Kate. It's true, humans imitate, all art is imitation of humanity and its actions. I felt that strongly with this piece.

"But the glory will go to Him" we often forget where the glory goes, and to give due thanks. With our minds in the right direction we can accoplish all -- sometimes it surprises us. Thanks for this post. I enjoy reading you -- I like the way you think.
