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.
