Maybe It is Hope, Maybe It Is Intuition

I had planned on taking the night off and not writing anything else. Had planned on taking the night off and going a different direction but something pulled me back,

Can’t tell you what it is, red dress, blue dress- I like them both.

Got a dozen different images in my head and a movie and soundtrack that go along with them and had to put some of it upon digital paper.

Sometimes you have mixed feelings and have to work hard on determining how and where to place them. I spent quite a bit of time doing that and then in one unexpected moment I took running start and tried jumping across a canyon.

Can’t tell you if have already fallen to the bottom and these are the final thoughts before the lights go out or if perhaps I am still in the air heading towards the other side expecting to land safely.

In my head I hear bells and an expression when you think off me I am thinking of you and I smile.

I spotted the crazy man instantly and knew him for what he was but there was a piece that provided him with credit unearned and undeserved.

Hindsight is 20-20 so I can see it all so clearly now just as I can see three different paths ahead.

I Have, I Did & I Will…Again

Had my share of battles with fear and haven’t won every battle but I have prevailed more than I have lost.

Have failed a few times and some of those in the biggest way possible but the wins have been pretty darn big too.

And that is why I am good at planting my feet, extending my hand and letting others grab on and pull themselves forwards.

Thought about it when my daughter hugged me before heading out to school. The girl placed her head against my chest, wrapped her arms around me and let go in a way she hasn’t in a long while.

I didn’t say anything, just smiled and kissed the top of her head.

Thought about those who trust us enough to melt into our arms and relax and those we trust enough to do the same.

Made a mental note to myself to continue to speak my mind more plainly than I have with specific people because when I do so I always feel better.

Takes the edge off and makes going about my business far easier. The funniest thing about it to me is saying just a few words sometimes removes my desire to speak at length.

Laughed again because I heard today how quiet I can be and thought about how shocked some people would be to hear that.

Suppose I save more for those who are interested in learning more and those who deserve to share in the bigger picture.

Some of that has changed over time and the circle has shrunk, I expect it will shrink further. Some opportunities don’t last forever.

Evolution is an interesting thing, now isn’t it.
