a while back
with tilted eyes and monikers
whilst tippy toes clod-hopped
she discovered
quite unobtrusively
that quietly
with no pomp
the circumstance of near arrival
of a large marking of time
spent judiciously
on a daily basis
was fast approaching
the fear of success
or the idea of achievement
hobbled her
almost instantaneously
so much so
that all regular habits
died on the spot
* * *
still
the roots live
deep and strong
whether near some invisible line
or not
and new sprouts and shoots
are bound to grow

After this post we have 10 more posts to reach 1,000. And each of those days a single effort is all it will take to re-kindle the habit of the Daily Napkin.
Establish a habit – 30 days
Re-establish a habit – 30 days
(No wonder most months have 30 days)
Begin
Again
and again
Over
and over again
with the tenacity of bulldog
Stuck in beginner’s mind
intending habit
So many times
the song leader stopped them
Until the habit of harmony
