a_walk_in_the_fog
REAListic optimIST clouded cascades of misted thought
permeate my being,
guide my actions,
and infuse my purpose.

as i take each step,
i become more aware
of my choice to do so.
the more sure i become of this choice,
the less sure i can be of my destination.
the converse is also true.

culminating inside of me,
the desire to know.
yet i take each step almost blindly
forgoing conventional reason
for educated intuition,
for action.

in doing so, i alter the strings of fate
around me in unimaginable ways,
altering the world around me
in good ways or bad.
but, to know i have acted is enough.
i no longer abhorr the shroud of fog.
it keeps the madness at bay.
