Best Friends

You know how there is this debate

about the difference in personalities

between cat and dog owners

~

dog owners prize devotion

cat owners prize independence

~

Isn't this also the debate

in relationships as well

~

Does independence and devotion

have to be mutually exclusive

~

Because if it does

~

I'll choose

independence

EVERY TIME

A Mess...

I've been a mess lately

not a cute mess either

not the kind of mess created by 

loving something so much I just can't get enough of it

~

Its been said 

we create our own reality

and from my point of view

there is good and bad in that possibility

~

on the one hand

it speaks of endless possibilities and opportunities

it speaks of personal power 

and the impact of our choices

~

on the other hand

it speaks of frustration and confusion

when

with best intent and hard work

hopes and dreams 

crumble before our eyes

~

It is then

that I must remember the BIGGER picture

the one that is focused on growing the soul not comforting the ego

~ 

so  I shake my head and dust myself off 

and with confident uncertainty

take another step into the unavoidable adventure

to discover who I really am.
