Who are we? What are we about?
Answer those questions correctly  
and you go to the head of the class.

Joseph Campbell said,"We know when we are on the beam
and we know when we are off the beam."

A-buzz with addictions is a good sign 
of being off the beam.

Being listless, lethargic, disinterested, not present,
are also giveaways.

Being alert, energetic, enthusiastic, vibrant,
with a "The Game is ON!" orientation screams 
"Beam Time!" for all to see.

We find our way to the beam by having an eye-to-eye
with ourselves.

How long has it been since you have done something
you love to do?

What used to make your little heart sing
and your little toes dance?
Why don't you do that any longer?
When did you lose your gusto?
What can you do to get it back?

Everybody needs the right kind of friend.
What happened to those who used to be yours?
What potential candidates exist for you to 
talk with about the things that matter most?

Without friends/family to trust and enjoy,
that leaves you with writing about the things 
you would like to talk with someone about.
Write and toss, write and toss...
You aren't writing anything to save,
unless it's something you would like to revisit,
deepen, enlarge, expand...
The point is to address the issues that need to be addressed.
Regularly. All the time. And see where it goes.
