Fear and Shadows.

I was sitting in the car last night and observing the shadow that my hand made on my leg.

The further my hand was from my leg the larger the shadow got - even to the point that it didn't even look like a hand at all anymore.

For some reason while I was doing this a comment was made about me getting over my fear.

It got me thinking.

Fears mirror the behavior of shadows a bit.

The further we keep ourselves away from the things that we are afraid of - the bigger and scarier they seem. Most of the time the anticipation that we give to our fears creates a sense of grandness - a disillusion about what there is to really be afraid of. We put such a space between us and the things we fear that we can't see them for what they really are.

It isn't until we become brave and get up close that we are able to really see our fears in their truest form.

To deal with life head on we have to put down our projected thoughts, close in on the distance between us and what plagues us, and take on ch…

Wild in transition.

I planted a bunch of seeds in my office this winter to try to work through a period of transition that I was experiencing. I bought them lights, watered them, talked to them often, over nurtured them...tried. Now that the sun has been high in the sky and the season is right...they are all growing wildly.

United.

What if we weren't divided
And we realized that lines were meant for geography
not for unity
Coordinates to help us find each other, not lose sight of one another
And borders for holding things together
not for keeping them apart
What if the state we were in was humanity
And each person held equal weight
Because gravity doesn't take into account fear, origin, or acceptance
Even though all this hate feels too heavy to bear
What if we blurred the lines
and realized that we all came from the same energy
and we will all be laid to rest in the same ground
What if the flag we waved was surrender
A flash of white, like the clouds that blanket this entire planet, that let's everyone know they can close their eyes, safe in their skin
No matter where their human ship landed in this world
