A Therapist's Advice

'A Therapist's Advice'
© Raul Cortes Jr. 2-26-19
I had a patient step into my office last week.
He travelled, a long gravel-filled road abroad the vast streets.
He said that he experienced a decade's worth of transformation.
And he's headed to his birthplace, a first take on displaying his inner-wealth,  I told him to remove all expectations.
I warned him, to remain humble & that he would stumble upon some paradoxes.
Protecting the vine of your higher self requires muscle, the stealth of the adversary is subtle, & the wildlife is full of foxes.
Don't be disheartened if anxiety is ignited by those who assume the worst.
A lifetime of discipline & restraint is only understood by those who've been pruned on that turf.
People can project their insecurities, same way the tv projects an image on a screen.
You can turn around & turn it off, ground yourself at all costs, or else your vision will demean.
The shift already happened, the odds aren't against you, the odds are in your favor.
Don't worry about the "What if's", What if you stop trusting the process & it has an ill-effect on your behavior?
There's applications for jobs, applications for your device.
More importantly, what good is knowledge-wisdom-understanding if your application doesn't suffice?
Take each day as it arrives, for the Most High. . .
Will expand your territory & get the glory, so keep the faith even if its mustard-seed size.
