Glitter

Skies of darkness and fear

eyes shut to the desire

cold and empty hearts

lust for death and doom.

How I long to uncover

the lies, the dust, the fear,

and warm and soft to spoil you

with love and laugh and glitter.

Happy Valentine’s day.

Life is teaching me that I must start where I am right now. So I am beginning on Day 13.

Day 13

CHALLENGE

“Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively;

unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.”

― Eleanor Roosevelt

Today’s Journal Prompts:

Make some lists:

Ways I have lived my life bravely…

-I have chosen the studies I wanted at University.

-I helped my mother disentangle herself from her despotic father.

-I married the man who set me free for a time.

-I am growing in a career that is controversial yet I keep my voice authentic as best as I can

Ways I have lived my life excitingly…

-I have travelled

Ways I have lived my life imaginatively…

-I am dreaming of my life,

I chose challenge instead of competence when…

-Not yet

This is all evidence that you have already lived your life as an adventure.
Now. What do you want to do next that is…

Brave: Leave my husband

Exciting: Write my books

Imaginative: Live in love in a new home by the water

Way outside your comfort zone: Driving on the highway.

Seriousness

I thought you were composed, strong, my father figure that I missed.

Later I learned he was weaker than you.

You thought I was a child, a silly girl waiting to be bullied into life

Your way.

In all seriousness, my dear, we were both mistaken.

I march through the wheatfield

Young

Rebellious

Unaware of my life force.

I march through the wheatfield

on a Spring Day

Eversince

I am awake

Aware that life is a field of golden wheat

waitng to be crossed

and loved upon

and procreated

Live and Love

and be aware that life is a field of wheat.
