Canvas

somewhere along the way, they took away my crayons, and i diminished my creativity in an effort to be smart, well-rounded, and efficient. but i no longer want to be any of those things.

i'd like to paint the canvas of my life instead of merely existing as a black and white outline.

i have been filled with life by the creator who is now asking me to create. shall i refuse or deny this request?

with fear and a trembling hand, i will begin to add color to this dull landscape; painting the scenes with vibrance, bringing beauty from these ashes.

may the light that shines in me shine through me onto the page, with my broad strokes of red, and yellow, and violet...

I am on a journey, searching for God and what that means in my daily life. It's not about constraints, it's not about limitations, but freedom. I know something exists beyond the visible. I live thinking about possibilities and what could be and the necessary steps to make things happen. I like long talks with a good friend, drinking tea, eating breakfast with my husband, going to a bookstore (they are the new libraries), cool mornings, windy days in the fall, learning about love and life from those who seem to have found their way, teenagers, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, long baths, and connecting with another heart. I am learning how to love, how to live, when to speak and when not to, when it's time to gather the stones, when it's time to let go, surrender, forgiveness, and discipline.
