about
The best lesson I've learned from years of counseling. I have to remind myself of it frequently.
lyrics
There is great comfort in recognizing
That things come and go but always return
The brightest of days are not lost forever
The darkest of nights gives way to the dawn
You will wander but find a new path
You will be taken by utter surprise
If you are patient, you can observe
The parts of your mind moving about
One gear is shifting, another has jammed
One layer is shrinking, another expanding out
Spin and revolve asynchronously, without control
You've been here before and somehow got out, you found the way to the door
We are subject to the whims of cycles
More than just one, more than you think
Arrhythmic or concentric perhaps
At the root of your state of mind
One wheel is spinning, another stubborn
One wave is cresting, approaching soon the apex
Your balance of mind sits perilously in the midst of
Wheels within wheels, layers within layers, subtly overlapping
