Inspired by 'A Professional Endures Adversity' (p. 89)

Buoyancy I

Take a ticket

Pass it on

Watch it

Try it on

Feel its to's and fro's

See into its futures

And forget its pasts

Sail on its weightlessness

and be guided by the breath that carries

but never hide under its decks

For fear of the limits of its surfaces

Buoyancy II

Draw on it

And make conclusions

Channel its detours

and say yes to its offers

Know that its not a free pass

but it will guide you to freedom

And rest,

assured,

with reckless abandon

that its contents are abundant

and expiry; certain.
