The Wings at My Ankles

 

A friend and I were talking lately about how much we respect and love a person with hustle: That head down ineffable quality that involves scrap, determination, quick math, and a hefty dose of unintentional swag.  You can usually see it in the way a person moves (literal; figurative) and also in how they treat others: They tend to me more generous in their kindness and willingness to help someone out with something. 

It's hot. 

Tempered. 

Attractive.

Lately, things have been moving in an unexpected and relatively great direction.  I feel a hum underneath my feet that is elevating something beyond my control, and I am grateful for it.  Some things cannot be explained and some things are, indeed, stranger than fiction. 

A reminder: The people you protected yourself from years ago, the ones you booted who pop up to try and tell you who you are? They will always be the people with the least to say. Whack-A-Mole that shit (as usual).  Stay the course. 

And, as you do, enjoy all that unfolds in front of those humming toes of yours: 

Hermes may have nothing on you these days. 

 

be well; be loved,
