taking a deep breath.....

I hope you'll follow the instincts
in your heart
and
do what you need to do
~~~~~
listen hard to your inner child
the one screaming to get out
~~~~~
what is it telling you to do with your life
~~~~~
is it telling you where you should be
or
who you should be
or
who you already are

sort out your feelings
each and every one of them
and then become focused on them
~~~~~
yet remember to give them some space
and
a little patience
as they try to hide from you
and
then
hold those feelings gently
and
listen to them closely
do this alone
quietly
and
embrace your solitude
~~~~~
reflect on your past year
and
don't fight your ability
to
follow the wonderful path
~~~~~
the
path
made
just
for
you
~~~~~
the one you created
the day
you
were born

  1. This made me cry. I'm sitting here at my office computer, typing back at you through a blur of tears ready to spill out onto my cheeks and drop to my shirt. I already stained my jacket with tears earlier this morning. This is beautiful -- and very meaningful to me.

  4. sorry I've been silent -- it's just the photos deliver me to a place that perfectly balances memories and wishes, and then I get quiet and tingly and can't remember what I wanted to say, which I guess is just GOD THIS (the photos, your words) IS SO LOVELY!!!

  5. Yes -- I too believe we have created our paths before we were even born. Such wisdom and beautiful sentiment here -- thank you for sharing your heart.
