in meaning

There can be huge a rift in the mind be­tween as­sign­ing the thought
“F*ck!”
and as­sign­ing the thought
“F*ck yes!”
to the same event. 

But the longer I pa­tient­ly wait out any an­tag­o­nism, any grief, ob­sta­cle, dis­com­fort, or re­jec­tion, the more the mean­ing of its pres­ence un­folds, in lay­ers and lay­ers, of­ten feel­ing like a sud­den revelation.

While it doesn’t nec­es­sar­i­ly end the suf­fer­ing or heart­break, as­sign­ing a new idea to an event can sud­den­ly of­fer a tremen­dous sense of freedom. 

The
“F*ck yes!”
sto­ry is not al­ways ap­par­ent at first, it can take a long time for it to co­ag­u­late into cognition. 

But it seems to come, the more of­ten I leave a wel­come mat for it at the door of my consciousness. 

Just you wait, you don’t know how cre­ative a mind can be when you train it to be on your side.
