Incantation

Why would we want to turn life upside down? It is like when we are children and we pick up an Etch a Sketch, and we know that tipping it will erase it, but we can’t help the urge. Even if we like the picture, we just want to shake it up. Start all over. Tabula Rasa.

But……..this doesn’t always make sense. I am not an Etch a Sketch. And besides, I was the little girl that wanted to save the Etch a Sketch picture forever. I was the little girl that said, no don’t touch it! How can I freeze frame it??? ?? I was the little girl that saw things happening in slow motion, and then burned the images to memory.

My life’s a carousel of pictures and the spinning just won’t stop….

Did you ever lose something, and then retrace your footsteps looking for it? Sometimes, this process can reveal things we didn’t even know we lost. Don’t miss those moment(o)s. The design in mind is created by you. What are you looking to see……..???? What are you hoping to miss/forget? Do we need to look at what we aren’t seeing, to truly SEE?

She stands on edges, and ledges, and horizontal smudges of Time. The view is not hers alone, and she knows there is a huge world out there that extends well beyond the borders of her imagination. What is invisible she feels. What is invisible is amazing. And mostly, she feels invisible.

I will move through this world and it through me. I will take on the night and not squander the day. I will remember my heart and what did it say? I will listen to you, I will listen to you; I will listen to what you say.
