If you leap for the moon
and miss try taking the stairs. it's a little bit harder to fall and I've heard your aim is better. celebrate the things you can do and let them become a part of who you are. then add more new things - Atlas

I fell in love
AGAIN today the sun should really consider my feelings before she sets and the rain clinging to the underside of pine needles is just a tease. but I always forgive you anyway - Atlas a flash, a glimmer,
a sudden glimpse of oh like a footstep unearthing a crystal buried in the dirt. a piece of myself I did not know was there flares to life and I am bathed in glorious light. the battle between uncertainty and confidence spins on, but this, at least, I know to be a piece of truth - Atlas I think sometimes about this gaping maw
of fear that rises so unexpectedly small objects cast big shadows when the light shines too close and the wall is distant. hnnneh - Atlas sometimes
the most important thing you can do is continue. like clinging to driftwood in a storm even though your strength is failing trusting in your hands to see you through hmm - Atlas I must admit
there are many more mistakes to make than I knew were possible it seems I discover new ones every day. I suppose another word for this is learning mistakes are the process of learning what you don't know - Atlas I am becoming acquainted with the spiders
in the basement I know their corners now, their sizes and colors and if everything was brushed away I would notice. I think this is what it means to be seen. I wonder if they see me, too. it's a strange feeling to look into the corner and recognize them - Atlas the stories we tell ourselves
are the difference between living a life and static. hmm - Atlas in spring, I was so eager to plant seeds
and fawn over their small roots but now the time has come to water them, to prune the dying leaves away-- it is hard, and I do not always want to do it. but I am good at doing hard things and I love these plants like they are my own heart. no amount of motivation will make this easy. but I don't need it to be easy - Atlas but will we ever go back
to the way we were? I should hope not you were a cloud, released from a box and I am a newly-planted tree sinking roots into fresh earth preparing to bloom. we are only ever more than we were to go back would neglect all the work we've done to get this far. be proud of how far we've come - Atlas |
