Aphorisms and other musings |
Aphorisms © A Word is Worth a Thousand Pictures. May you know you are loved beyond what you know. Poems like reality are multidimensional. Once heard, some things can never be silenced. I once drowned in despair and found myself floating in bliss. If ©A Word is Worth a Thousand Pictures, what is a letter worth? Not all tears are bad. I am not here to be understood. I am here to understand. I’d rather be a poet than a muse. I believe that if you do not listen to the whispers of the soul, they become screams. Write today to right the wrong of an unwritten yesterday. I have often believed that I am a poet trapped in a photographers body re-writing the caption of me. My greatest fear is leaving my greatest fear unfaced. Not all battles are fought on a battle field. We are stories in the telling. Someone shot my spirit animal. May they find courage. May I find forgiveness. There is magic in the telling. Maybe I really am a writer. As I walked into the other room of my cabin this morning I was surprised to find that my mouse does not taste like coffee. Love pays attention to detail. Courage is not being fearless. Courage is facing your fears. I believe in goodness, truth and beauty; the power of nature and the triumph of the human spirit. I sat on the beach in wonder and gazed up through the trees upon the ocean. |
