unwritten


They're bubbling up inside of me. Words, feelings, emotions, insights, past, experiences, memories. And as I sit here I watch them take shape as I seek to lay them down in such a way as to leave a mark in those who come across them, a slice of who I am and who I am becoming. And an insight into something more. My reason for existence, my purpose. And my hope is that it will give you a glance into your own inner well of ideas. Shed a light on your own story and inspire you to go inside and pull out something beautiful to leave behind as a reminder to next person and the next person and so it goes.

My elaborate plan to take over the world. To shake all those slumbering souls and awaken them to the light within so that their moments, their lives, their little worlds can never be the same again. It is a big plan for such a little girl. And yet it is possible. Everyone says so. Every great person I look up to, all the greatest teachers who ever lived, and you see it in the eyes of new born babies, and impetuous little toddlers who are still too young to have had it taught out of them.

I'm here to take over the world, to fill my life with moments of joy and pleasure and spread smiles and love and leave my indelible mark on all I come across.

And so it begins...


Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still
unwritten
