A collection of poems
++++
Frozen wind and grey clouds,
An endless night, an endless cold,
A lake of Ice, void of life,
An innocent soul, not ready to die.
On the snow he lays, being eaten away,
With frigid Skin and frozen vapour,
So silly he was to venture that way.
A blizzard comes nearer and hope becomes distant,
Ice enters his lungs, freezing his insides,
Eyelids grow heavy and breathing shallow,
Lips turn blue, limbs unmovable.
A blizzard rages on and snow falls,
The last breath is taken, the soul claimed in a frozen embrace.
THE MOUNTAIN IS YOU By: Brianna Wiest
This is a book about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it-for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential. For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.
