Check out this episode You were invited to dinner, but the feast is sitting at the very top of a silk-cotton tree. Every time you look up, the host is laughing at your short legs, tossing down fruit skins, and reminding you that the banquet is technically open to anyone who can climb. How many years have you spent staring up at that branch, furious, embarrassed, and trying to learn how to swing from limbs you were never designed to hold? The trap isn’t that the food is out of reach. The trap is that you still believe you need an invitation to eat. When Tortoise finally invited Baboon down to the flat earth, he didn’t use violence, screaming matches, or retaliation.

Another victory is close

for my success has chosen me.
The tattered web of prosperity
that my life has woven me.
The outcome feels predictable
though the game has not begun.
I've declared myself the champion
before my trials are done.
I will always embrace my fate
so the outcome stays the same.
I play the role as victor
while some resign to play the game.
If I may keep the secret
that is sanctioned from my soul.
On anxious days I lose my ways,
my spirit pays the toll.
I hold the titles of father,
of brother, husband and son.
An honest bluff makes some seem tough,
the contender is but one.
At times like these I find myself,
beside myself, not lost.
The battle's fought, the lesson's taught,
I have not won nor lost.
