Remain steadfast. Do not<\/p>\n
have great expectations f<\/p>\n
or yourself, but be ready<\/p>\n
to rise on demand.<\/p>\n
Heat things up. Let the air<\/p>\n
above you waver with<\/p>\n
irresistible smells. On some<\/p>\n
days, you will just burn<\/p>\n
for no discernible reason.<\/p>\n
Chances are you are stuck<\/p>\n
on something and need<\/p>\n
a good shake up to clean<\/p>\n
out your insides. Mediate.<\/p>\n
Let life come to you.<\/p>\n
Never stay down too long.<\/p>\n
Jealous sidelong glances<\/p>\n
at the microwave serve<\/p>\n
no purpose. Be thankful<\/p>\n
that you are not toast.<\/p>\n
