Are you waiting for time to show you some better thoughts?
William Stafford We all get to choose our own way in the world.
This notion can be pushed against mightily,
But it still holds true.
Sure,
There are limitations and boundaries,
But they are wide and deep if you really look at them.
They offer tremendous latitude to explore,
Choose,
And create.
Boundaries work as guide rails,
Not restrictions.
Limiting,
Yes,
But limits and boundaries give us great freedom within our unique form and foothold on Earth.
If one person,
Me,
Wants to type out thoughts and give shape to ideas,
Whether personal for one or applicable to many,
With the hope of making sense,
Then it doesn't matter what label or title or distinction they do so with.
It matters only that some sense of balance,
Writing,
Or calibrating of life occurs.
Some sort of sense-making that may not make sense tomorrow,
But right now does.
And for this,
We are able to step further out to the next edge of our life and trust the ground will hold us steady.
I can go with that.
I can work with that.
I can adventure this life with that idea.
I'll return here to something I've professed for decades.
We get to.
Let's remember that.
You remember that.
What next?
A judgment?
A label?
A limitation?
An excuse?
Gets tossed into your basket of life.
Each person scribes the label of themself onto this life we each live.
You choose yours.
And remember,
The boundaries of that little 3x5 label offer you tremendous expansion.
In love,
Trish.
Love,
Trish.
