1412D NADA

2015
Fate ran interference with today's plan to
Post several photos from the album, compiled over
This past summer, when my heart had reason to overflow with
Love and joy, which replenishes hope for a future where
Positive attitudes outweigh negativity, which
Beats spirits down, creating sadness, all around
However, before selecting photos to share with you
I chose to follow a computer prompt to install
An update to my hard drive, and now
No matter how often I turn it off and on, rather than
Rebooting itself in a cooperative manner
All that stares back at my hopefulness is
A blank screen, suggesting lowering my frustration by
Calling my computer guru
Now that my original game plan has been sent to
The locker room for medical attention and
My inner coach feels stymied while
Staring at a screen that remains stubbornly blank
Here's what I have in mind, instead:
Nada
Because my think tank appears to be  as blank as
My screen, Except for this caveat:
I feel a change is taking place within me, suggesting
That rather than pouring insight out, I feel the need to
Breathe something in, but, as to what that something is
I have no conscious clue, as of yet ...
On the other hand, upon reviewing yesterday's post
My mind did give birth to additional insights, and without
Need to say more, I'm certain that, unless
You're a rookie in terms of following
My blog, you know the drill ...
(One step back to reflect more deeply than
Had been possible before one insight
Leading to the next, creates a bridge, which offers
A closed mindset safe passage when readiness
Opens the door to moving forward without fear of
Tumbling into an endless abyss that makes no sense,d at all
As insight is not compelling me to write and
Storms so fierce as to produce flash floods are
Predicted for today, rather than writing or
Getting soaked, traipsing about doing errands
I plan to curl up with an intriguing book, which
Will, hopefully, be completed before
One of my two book clubs convenes, late this afternoon
BTW, in addition to feeling a need to breathe 'something' in
I can barely breathe, at all, for this reason:
My allergies are killing me, and October, which is
The number one killer month for me, has not so much as
Lifted its pollinated little head ... (During October
Winter planting and over seeding transforms
The dull desert terrain into a lushly colorful bouquet of beauty)
And with that said, it's likely that allergens, stuffing
My sinuses, have swollen straight into my brain, which
Reducing my oxygen intake, may be
Contributing to my writing malaise, so
Keeping my saline nasal spray handy
I'll bid you adieu until
Hopefully, the swollen nature of my nasal cavities
Will settle down down enough for my system to
Absorb the healthy clarity of airborn particulates, which
Upon given time to clear allergens right our of my head, will
Free my clogged brain to clearly feel like writing when
The sun comes out, tomorrow ... ACHOO!
