counsel

counsel deep
counsel often
	ignore the scratching of the page mark and listen to the sounds of your heart
	the beats
	the patterns
	the silly laughs
	the edge of reason
	the quiet of fortitude and clarity
	
	ignore the noise of the hens pecking at the ground
	find your own nourishing noise and let that be all that feeds you
	
	ignore the mocking birds distracting you with a meaningless song
	you know what you want to sing
	sing it loud
	
	ignore the blank stares
	feel your own rhythms
	and know the solidity of the ground

Keep your own counsel
