I've been very creative though as of late and see the metamorphisis. Thank you for this lovely blog entry and for being an island in the middle of the water for me a few months back.

Extraordinarily insightful, and I love your blog,your flowers,your lovely dogs and I too wish I could write like you!!

Sometimes it's the sunrise, or one of my kitties basking in the spot of sunshine coming through a window, or just the sound of my grandson giggling as I tickle him.<BR/><BR/>Lately YOU and your words have been those gems to me. Today is certainly one of them. <I>"I flashed on some deep truth in that moment. I have been in my own way most of my life, always trying to do something, anything, to fit in, trying to twist and bend myself into some pretzel of a person like a contortionist in order to feel that I fit in this world like everyone else."</I> There is such a huge truth in your words there for many of us...I know there is for me. <BR/><BR/>I am just learning how to get out of my own way and to stop trying to "fit" into societal molds and just BE.<BR/><BR/>I so love reading your words. Please, don't stop. I will be here whenever you share.

You have inspired me to go to my own bookshelf and dust of another one of Jean Shinoda Bolen's Books - <I>Close To The Bone</I> . It's been calling to me quietly for weeks. Today that call became louder through your voice and writing. Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
