Can you even imagine that?
All I can scrape together
is an occasional moment of joy,
and bit by little bit
I try to expand those moments
into some sort of excess.
Oh, maybe that's the problem: the trying part.
I'll capture an excess of happiness
not by trying but by being.
This Eeyore business of mine
is just a habit, a holdover
from my early days.
A kind of barnacle on the soul.
How do you get rid of barnacles?
You scrape them off.
Or maybe there's a Universal Solvent
that will dissolve barnacles.
Bombard them with love?
Love, the Universal Solvent?
Sounds pretty far-fetched.
I need something practical:
a habit-breaking practice I can perform
for 42 days, say, after which
Eeyore will be gone
and I'll embrace my excess of happiness.
