My cubicle has an alpha-numeric number, in an alpha-numeric numbered cube block, in a non-descript building on a cookie-cutter campus. My blessing is that it creates precision focus on building the life of my dreams in my imagination.
What if:
To whom it may concern:
Today, I am too well to spend this beautiful day confined within a prison-like building, giving my precious time and talents to someone else instead of my own creations.
Today, I am too well to believe that the only way I can survive in this world is to spend 8 hours of my precious day performing menial tasks and following someone else’s rules.
Today, I am too happy to feel the despair of the emptiness inside those moments in which I remember that I have passions, unfulfilled, dwindling in apathy because they have been starved as I nourished my fears.
Today, I am too loving to fear my failure, success, abandonment, pain and hardship that I have been told would ensue with either.
Because today, I know that abandoning my true Self in order to conform to a “norm” is the greatest pain and hardship I could ever experience.
Today, I am too open to be shut down by disapproval or cautionary tales, convinced by my misdirected beliefs that facing my good will ultimately end in my embarrassment, alienation and failure.
Today, I see the truth, and it heals me.
I am just calling because I won’t be coming in today.
I can’t “work” today.
I am too well.
