Card-bored Box
You don't always need to think outside the box. Sometimes, you just have to cut a new hole in the box to look out of.
Testing…….1….2…3….Testing. Is this thing on? Testing…….
Wow! It sure has been a while since I’ve had a blog post.
But here I am again; ready to be your gracious host.
While you are reading, can I offer you a piece of toast?
White, wheat, grain, or vanilla crumbled corn rye?
Why not give something new a try?
Months have passed. Time has flown.
Situations arose that has made one grown.
Not only grow upwards, downwards, sideways and think ways too.
But grow deep ways, voice ways, and feet ways that fill more than two shoes.

Sometimes it’s so easy in life to get sucked into the microcosm of one’s own being.
An endless vortex of the “whoa is me” type of seeing.
The feeling of being boxed in your own corrugated house.
Bored by the squeaks of the same un-oiled mouse.

But there’s not need to sit there and pout.
For there’s an arrow pointing with words, “This Way Out”.
Sure it’s easy to get bogged down in the daily grind and flounder.
But, need it be that way? I merely ponder.
It’s realizing when it’s time to break out of this narrow minded focus that opens doors.
And reminds us there is an entire universe out there to explore.
Stepping back and taking fresh look through a set of new goggles,
sometimes makes it easier to see through the muck of apparent boggles.
Taking this new approach –a blank slate sort of perspective.
Why not make it essential, not just an elective?
Choosing this approach cool thing-a-ma-wonks may occur.
(Yeah. You busted me. “Thing-a-ma-wonks” is a fake word.
But, hey, who is the author?)
The once overwhelming flow of the nine to five
may be transformed into a dance with a groovy jive.
What about the mish mosh of daily tasks, lists, and endless daunts?
They can be flipped on their ears and made into jaunts.
The overwhelming mountainous tasks that can dominate the landscape.
Can be broken down into small pieces like the shells from a clambake.
To quote a person from wisdom’s book of whose who ,
the ever so wise ancient Chinese philosopher– Lao-Tzu,
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
A profound lesson that under the carpet is often swept.
In summary, sum, and final wrap.
That was this. And this was that.
A special thanks to my son who inspired this lesson.
From which he used a cardboard box to go on a space mission.
