Let us get vertical \u2013<\/p>\n
Introvertical<\/p>\n
Extrovertical<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An intro to the introvert:<\/p>\n
A state of static and stigma,<\/p>\n
Always looking in, too afraid<\/p>\n
To look out; it is the natural state,<\/p>\n
Or so it convinces itself \u2013 after all,<\/p>\n
We are all different people with<\/p>\n
Different looks and outlooks \u2013 why<\/p>\n
Then should it go beyond the \u201cme\u201d<\/p>\n
And embrace the \u201cyou\u201d?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An excerpt to the extrovert:<\/p>\n
Of the gregarious persuasion,<\/p>\n
Going beyond the self. Now we<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t mean one of those who is<\/p>\n
Always looking away because it<\/p>\n
Fears what it might find when looking<\/p>\n
In, we don\u2019t speak of those who feel a<\/p>\n
Need to control the outside world<\/p>\n
Because their inside world is a total<\/p>\n
Mess\u2026 No, we speak of the extrovert<\/p>\n
In the positive sense of the term, always<\/p>\n
Going beyond, pushing the envelope,<\/p>\n
Enveloped within the dreams and possibilities<\/p>\n
Of someone daring enough to look passed the<\/p>\n
Self yet secure enough to live in the present.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But the question is: how to know when going out of<\/p>\n
Oneself is a positive thing and when it is a negative?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We are all subjective \u2013 if you say you aren\u2019t, well then,<\/p>\n
My point exactly \u2013 so how to know when where we go<\/p>\n
Is healthy or not; how do we know if the places we go<\/p>\n
Are driven by the soul\u2019s purity or the body\u2019s selfishness?<\/p>\n

Yaakov sent angels<\/em><\/p>\n Ahead of him to<\/em><\/p>\n Esau his brother<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are times when we must face the parts closest to us<\/p>\n That are also the furthest away; times when the fragments in our<\/p>\n Lives must be acknowledged and bridged, mended, put back<\/p>\n Together and made whole again \u2013 moments when we must<\/p>\n Leave what is safe and secure for the things that need us to<\/p>\n Make them safe and secure. And these moments need purity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To the land of Seir<\/em><\/p>\n The field of Edom<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When heading towards all that is cold and dark, one would do well<\/p>\n To ensure their flame, their candle is burning vibrantly and passionately.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And one does this by first sending the purist parts, the parts untouched and<\/p>\n Untouchable, the parts heaven sent, the angels within, to Esau, that piece of<\/p>\n Darkness that needs to be turned to light, the ice that needs to be thawed and<\/p>\n Made warm. Only then, once the ground rules are set, once we know beyond<\/p>\n Any doubt \u2013 reasonable or otherwise \u2013 that our core is secure and our purpose<\/p>\n True, then and only then can we fight for what is true \u2013 only after we ascertain<\/p>\n That the playing field can only make us lighter and never darker, then and only<\/p>\n Then can we approach our brother, ourselves, the parts that seem to have broken<\/p>\n And separated \u2013 only then can we read passed the intro and become the extrovert\u2026<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is only through messengers heaven sent, that heaven can approach earth;<\/p>\n Only through the pure angels within us all can humanity embrace a brother.<\/p>\n
