Slingshots and Stagnation

Office designed like a cul-de-sac 
slingshot channel for chi
unstable flow-through for life force
energy slipping round the end curve with nothing to stop it from slipping out again.

Or more destructive,
with the clutter of 
computers
office furniture
electronic wires
papers
files
life's energy clings, 
stagnates
becomes toxic

With each entry and exit
chi comes along
lively
passionate
lethargic
pessimistic
wrapped 'round us like cloaks
fraying at the edges
leaving bits of us behind.

The worst curse to befall anyone is stagnation, 
a banal existence, the quiet desperation that 
comes out of a need for conformity.”
~ Deepak Chopra, The Return of Merlin
