where creative minds can interact
out of the journal springs a poet dos
my last blog focused on rejecting one's dreams and desires. and yes, it was a downer! BUT, while i was writing my assignment for Lillian Gaffney, all of the negative stuff came out as poetry, so i was really happy about that!
the second part of the assignment was to write about acceptance. as it should be, it's an upper, and poetry!
Acceptance in the Sun
She threw away the men,
the house and all their trappings.
And now she sings the whole day through,
into the SUN she's stepping.
The car, the house, the kids outside
were someone else's dream.
Now she's rising to the top
her dreams are like the cream.
Bright, rich and full of joy,
she is a dove that's dancing.
The smaller birds, they fall away.
Their hearts with love she's lancing.
Accept your dreams for what they are,
inspiration to climb to the top!
If you reject your heart's desires
to the bottom you'll drop.
a lot of things are changing in my life right now, and i'm embracing what could be perceived as loss, and making it the gift of freedom to follow my heart's desires. the job that was bringing me the security my parents had always wanted for me, though fulfilling in some ways, was squelching my spirit and leaving me completely spent at the end of the day.
i don't know what's gonna happen, what job i'll get, when my house will sell...many things are more uncertain now than they've been in the past 10 years. one thing is more certain than ever, though. i will have a light-hearted job that energizes me and feeds my soul.
i accept this gift of freedom, and thank my friends in advance for getting me through those "nail biting" moments with their words of wisdom, encouragement, and love.
here's my picture of acceptance. i love being outdoors, music, my dog, and a man...though i don't know which one yet. ;) oh yeah...i want a cute little teardrop camper, and i'm making no judgements on my drawing! just like life, it is what it is.
