everyday fool

the things we do, again.

These aren't labels, they're just patterns.

Things we learned once that kept working, so we just kept doing them.

You don't need to fix anything here.  Just notice what shows up.

the avoidance loop

it’s right there.
right in view.
later later-

I’ll get to you.

 

[ notice this loop ]

​the perfection loop

 

almost ready.
almost right.
almost almost-

but not tonight.

 

[ notice this loop ]

​the analysis loop

 

what if this.
what if that.
think think think-

then... maybe nap?

[ notice this loop ]

​the fire loop

 

go go go.
now now now.
fast fast fast—
uh oh wow.

[ notice this loop ]

​the armor loop

 

zip it up.
button it tight.
just in case—
all day and night.

 

 

[ notice this loop ]

​the caretaker loop

 

yes to you.
yes to them.
whoops— forgot
about me again.

 

 

[ notice this loop ]

​the attachment loop

mine is mine.
stuck to me.
pull all you want—
still mine, seeee!

[ notice this loop ]

​the identity loop

​​

this is me.
this is how.
this is me…
or not right now?

 

[ notice this loop ]

​the shadow loop

don’t look back.
keep on going.
funny how—
it’s still showing.

 

[ notice this loop ]

If more than one feels familiar, that’s normal. 

Most of us carry a few.


Start with the one that feels loudest today.

 

If you’re not sure, you take the check.
