State Of Mind, Or Mind Of State Comments

I like this poem a lot. I just finished reading SOMETHING PROFOUND and I'm aware of the two poems speaking to each other. In the first one, you are in control of the situation because of the energy generated by your paying attention to something profound. It's a simple equation of adding the plant's stubborn growth to your attention equaling strength and perseverance. But in this one, you only in control when you assert yourself and that's so hard to do given your mental state. In a sense, you have to summon forth and display the initiative of that plant to survive in such unpromising circumstances; in your case, it means pulling yourself out of lethargy and you do that by cleaning up the mess. It's just a whole lot harder for a human being, with our complex emotional lives, to make it happen. Congratulations, though, you succeeded!

very good writing, thanks.
