Abstract

To take a blow so low that it prevents us from growing is what makes us look to and ‘fro for answers.

Pantsers may fall short of practical plans, but their tactical glands are far from bland.

Seasoned in change and fluctuating flavors, the wind sings in their favor as long as they continue swinging.

Ten toes down, but if your feet can’t reach to teach the necessary push, breach the jungle.

Gyms are only necessary for average Jims and Joes.

C’mon, key bars are situated where the regulars don’t slide.

If this game is what you wanna marry, go ‘round the back and see if you care a cell is the only place you’ll be for a while.

Locked in, the mind can be a prison or the place where freedom wins.
