Sep 6

The cost of loyalty; to a birthday, to a friend, to a pair of shoes, to a laundry detergent, to a roof in disrepair.  We get into a groove and walk it deeper and deeper into the psyche, 'round and 'round, wheat to the mill grinder, and call it loyalty, or some other lofty word, when all it is, really, is habit.
Pay attention.
Spend time.
What's it worth to you, buddy?
All money words, flowing out.  Cost, pay, spend. 
Switch focus to the inhalation and the words that bring money rushing in, cups overflowing, the abundance and comfort of having more than enough.
And that feels overwhelming, unmanageable, like a flash flood in the valleys, like the sorcerer's apprentice.

    -"People who love only once in their lives are shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination."
