today i am thinking about boundaries...
and all the spaces in between.
today i am thinking about what i want...
and what i am prepared to accept.
today i am seeing there are prices too high to pay...
and returns too low to warrant the cost.
today i am seeing how big things can shrink to small...
and how small things become epic.
today i am hearing a small voice calling out...
and the roar that threatens to silence it.
today i am hearing the song of angels...
through the drone of disbelief.
today i am feeling my childhood slip away...
yet the girl of eight clings tightly to my skin.
today i am feeling my faith fade...
while hope lingers on.
and tomorrow is a new day...
About Me
- head
- I'm here, primarily, to support my friend, Elin (elincs.blogspot.com), she is beautiful, brilliant, bold, bright and underappreciated by many (a few of us really lucky people 'get her'). She may be 'scattered' but that's because she fires all the engines at once. She is, I think, like me...although I probably like her a lot better, not that I don't like myself...but after years of it, self awareness becomes tedious.
this is glorious .so happi to see u postin!!!u have a way with words my angel friend!xoxoxo
ReplyDeletethanks...for realsies...
ReplyDeleteI am surrounded by creative and sensitive souls...and you all inspire me...Golden!
Oh my GOSH, did you write that? I know you are a beautiful writer - I got that right off the get go....but that was something else. I couldn't wait for each word...wow.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see a post...you have much to say. Your realness....we need that out here. I loved your words last night too...like water in a desert for me. Thank you;)
I did, yes...I wrote that...me...(giggle) and...wow...i must say, coming from you Ms O,that is high praise indeed (I blush...). Interestingly, and to answer the question in your blog...THIS is what my 10 year old self always wanted to do...to write. Over the years, I have journalled...but, until now, have never gone public! It was only yesterday, after reading your words, that I found the courage to attach to this blog, my real name...my public identity...I think ALOT...and it can be overwhelming...writing helps me to process those thoughts and is how, in part, I have come to know myself...So, today...my new day...I am putting Myself out there...and declaring iT! (thank you for the inspiration you give).
ReplyDeleteps: when I was 10, my baby brother couldn't pronounce my name...to this day, he still calls me Head...

Are you the Heather Humber that used to babysit for Phil Swazey in Fredericton in the '80's???? I(his wife on his behalf) sent you a friend request on FB. If not just ignore the request. Thanks
