Just one of those days 

when it’s hard to remember

why I started this.

I stand on the rim

and looking into the pot

I’ve been stewing in,

I quickly hop down

and turn off the heat.

When “I have to”

becomes

“I am able to,”

I’ve entered a different world.

If we gave up the sweet satisfaction

of being right

and let ourselves feel instead

 the sweet satisfaction

of being,

would that be the end

of civilization as we know it?

Thank you, Coach Kozak

and HASfit for leading me

in something I’ll actually do.

I can honestly  say,

after seventy days, 

this work out 

is working out for me.

Drove northwest into

the waiting arms of Autumn’s gold –

not a leaf too soon.
