Words and weeds

Well, here I am starting up another blog.

My most recent exploits in life yet again neccesitate exquisite mastery over the written and spoken word.

I spent over an hour attempting to craft the sentences of this entry, only to delete them repeatedly. I suppose succint rhetoric is difficult to achieve, as verbosity often accompanies my failed attempts at eloquence.

It's been nearly a month since I've been commissioned, and I find myself alike a flat soda. The will, grit, fortitude, and sense of purpose I fostered over the past three words have diminished. This introspection brings me to an analogy I discovered back at OTU while uprooting weeds on the weekends for "beautifying" our fieldside park.

-Weed plants must be uprooted completely in order to avoid regeneration. Even the smallest piece of neglected root will soon regenerate the entire plant. Likewise, self-discipline requires a complete clensing of the self. IOW, Old habits die hard.

-Weed plants must be uprooted consistently. Even the most thorough weeding cannot outdo the pertinacious survivability of a weed plant. Repeated uprooting will increase the probability of complete removal and thereby reduce the number of weedings required. This correlates to the consistency required for genuine introspection, discipline, and transformation. Persistence.

-The weed roots intertangle with surrounding soil and the roots of other plants. This results in gaping holes that need to be patted back in after weeding. Self-discipline and refining can often be a scarring process, sometimes inducing collateral compromise of desirable elements intertangled with the undesirable. Do not hesitate to make the compromises. Follow up with healing.

-Some weed plants boast pretty buds as to suade the weeder from its doomed fate. Likewise, some things are just plain difficult to do away with. However, we must remember that the apparent charm of the weed does not alter the true value and fate of the weed. As long as we recognize the fact that the weed is a weed, we must not be distracted by the flower.

Writing all this took me more time than was neccessary, and this draft pleases me no more than the previous deleted ones. I suppose I have lost my English writing abilities to some degree, as I find my order of words awkward and even "Koreanized." I really need to work on refining my writing and thought organization.
