whateveritis
sometimes we stare at the empty canvas in front of us,
trying to visualize what belongs there.
we turn it to view all angles.
we focus. we take deep breaths.
we try to pull the inside of our hearts up
to the surface,
to express the whateveritis that we are feeling,
or want to shout about, because if we don't
we'll burst.
i have a full box of many colors
to splash anywhere i wish.
i can feel the images.
*my classroom, full of those sweet faces that i miss so much.
*teaching with other parents who homeschool.
*taking my photography to the next level and staying home with babychop for a few more years.
i feel like my third graders,
staring at the space-to-be-filled.
not wanting to make a mistake.
i know that i should take liam's lead
and just do what feels good.
beautiful. i'm not quite sure at one point we allow fear to get in the way of creating our perfect life... but we do. i was watching my baby yesterday as she drew, so intent on just moving that pen. when she's done she proudly proclaims, "PICTURE!" she created, without being led or forced, she just moved to the rhythym of her breath and made something beautiful. you can do it.
