Life is full of colorful changes…each day is a gift to be unwrapped…a letter to be opened…a child to grow…a door to walk through…a time to let go…a breast to be removed…a child leaving home…a parent dying…a story in a book…a tree to be planted…a stranger in the street…a lost job…a smile…a tear…a place where we all exist. It is both harsh and lovely, chaotic and serene. I want to laugh, I want to cry, I want to be here to experience the confusion, the happiness, the fragility, the reality of what it means to be alive…living, breathing, being. I want to kick up my heels and sing in the streets (if only to embarrass my children). I want to wrap myself up in the quiet of a cloud and just drift through these colors…all of them. I want to remember the hurts, the flavors, the smells and everything that ever made me realize this is for real.Thursday, February 7, 2008
every day is new...be happy in it
