Theoretica

The hardest part, sometimes, is simply deciding to do it. Delay due to fear and lack of vision — what may even appear to be sourceless procrastination — holds us back from achieving our true potential.

In the process of cleaning my home today – the first time I believe I’ve done this since entering adulthood – I decided to take the next step with a project I’ve been putting off for years. Thanks to the brilliantly productive co-marketing efforts of Warner Bros. cartoons and Chia-brand indoor garden products, I own a Taz Chia Pet. Chia pets are different from other pets. They never need anything – before AND after you use simple, household water to help them come alive. Would that everything we slather with seed were this self-reliant.

It’s hard for me to remember exactly how I came into possession of this Chia pet – or, really, whether it even belongs to me. It matters little at this point. I took my inhibitions, fears, and negative projections-of-self and submerged them all with the earthen-colored clay Taz in a clean, stainless steel pot. In twenty-four hours, I’ll be ready to take the next step. Provided that I don’t forget about it for another year.

I want to start caring again. Honest. And I think is gonna help me.
