Trust Your Guts

Grab a big, black bottle.

Fill it completely

with your usual nutrient drink.

Leave your phone

and any tracking devices behind.

Trust your guts

Keep your cool,

emotions and goals in check.

Set out on a journey,

map and compass left behind,

perfectly disguised.

Trust your guts

Nature will sustain you.

Escape the world

with a final thought.

Explore the most unusual trails,

where the river runs.

Trust your guts

If you try to drown yourself,

ducks and geese will stop you.

They know the drill

of surviving turmoil

of the most unsteady times.

Trust your guts

Paddle hard against the current,

securely fastened to your board.

Out on the water, nobody needs to know

your destination or a starting point

of this journey into the unknown.
