Breakthrough ...





BREAKTHROUGH

Looking into a glared mirror
Brown eyes viewing many smile lines 
That remind me of the stories they hold 
And the miles my feet have taken me 

Moments come and go in my mind 
Tears rolling down my pink cheeks 
Realizing I have such a long way to go 
Striving for the best version of myself 

These moments live within me 
Some snapshots have been silenced 
In a busy world that never goes quiet
Times that will never be erased 

I have visited calming spaces 
Walked stone covered beaches 
Sang songs as loud as I could 
To find a way to breakthrough 

My colored lips remain closed 
To keep all of my words in
Becoming a gatekeeper of my world
Until I can view the light easier

Finding calm in the everyday 
Rain that cleanses all
Blue skies that bring us hope 
A new season bringing us into a new year

(Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

Letters Across The Miles

LETTERS ACROSS THE MILES  Dear Jennifer, I am quite excited to be sharing this journey of "Old Fashioned Letter Writing" (online) with you ... It is a long lost personal touch that needs to be revisited. We live in a world of Tweets, IMs & text messages - Time to Get Back to Basics! I wanted to touch upon your recent thoughts on "Perfection". I, too, find myself procrastinating over starting new projects. The fear I will not be able to finish what I start. My second thought is failing myself for not going the distance. I was amazed with a few quick chats and we were out of the gate running with this new column - and new additions to our blogs, "Letters Across the Miles". I think this is the "Push" that we both needed to jump right in! Funny, how you also mentioned how our grade school teachers would ask us to "Show Them Our Work" when it came to Math problems ...and weaving this theme into real life. Can yo...
