One of the hardest things I ever had to do was to stand still... for some reason I have always wanted to run... unbridled, wild and carefree ...at the end of my 1st marriage my initial reaction was to run....to run with the wind go home to my family I thought... but I didn't...
I stood still.
When I met my husband I wanted to run... all the love I was given I did not know what to do with it...at times I felt as if my heart was going to explode from all the love and emotions I was feeling... I wanted to run as fast as I could. Fear I felt... afraid of being loved...what ignorant notion... but...
I stood still...
our skies as the storm was approaching yesterday... i found a heart...
When my teenage son challenged me and tried so hard for me to give up so he could run wild and free...untamed and unprepared he wanted to explore, discover and open doors that he should leave shut at least for now...I wanted to run but...
I stood still...
Like a tree... rooted, planted and strong.
In full bloom...
I stand still.....
This weekend I had the best intentions of taking the weekend and owning it...going in and out in a perfect balance or so I thought... but once again...
I stood still...
rain wash it all away...
Since I aim only to distinguish the contradiction between my mind and nothingness...I went nowhere...and in going nowhere I went everywhere and I once again found myself.
Have a sweet week...

ReplyDeleteLove this post, though it is your feelings it puts into words what I've been trying to say for months to myself. It is hard to stay still in out fast paced society, especially when you are trying to find yourself again.
