so he found out
once upon a time
or a long long time ago
depending on how you look at it

he found out
that if you give something
singleminded attention
you get it bent out of shape

and if that thing isn't an ordinary thing
in that it is affected by subtleties
rather than the gross overdoing of work
that people admire

that thing gets bent out of shape
so far
that you can't see where it began
or even what you originally started doing

so he learned
resting
a lot
is a good thing

this
to kinda let things
rest back into their natural shape
or as close to natural as possible
given this insanely backwards world we live in...

so instead of putting in effort
and following it with more effort
and then still more effort
in hopes of finally
someday
pushing past the boundary of change

he kinda thinks
a better way
at least for himself
is to just be gardening...

give the plant what it needs
but let it mostly grow on its own..

and then when he is waiting
to see what kind of plant he has
he gets the added pleasure
of having some fun
instead of working nonstop

and maybe he can stop for some ice cream
or sometimes to write in a journal
-----------------------------------------------------
well that and
he considered
what is the point
of doing tremendously hard work
just to attain
a difficult goal
noone
is going to let him attain?

lol
