Today is December 29 and the Navigate the Chaos question is "How well do you walk through the fire?" In his poem “How Is Your Heart?” Charles Bukowski wrote “during my worst times I always had this certain contentment-I wouldn't call it happiness-it was more of an inner balance that helped through the wars and the hangovers the back-alley fights the hospitals. to awaken in a cheap room in a strange city and pull up the shade- this was the craziest kind of contentment. and to walk across the floor to an old dresser with a cracked mirror- see myself, ugly, grinning at it all. what matters most is how well you walk through the fire.”
