Sometimes I see that I’m actually lost in space…your words hone to the core, questions asked, feelings unsolved, reactions at the surface, yet go no further…until I read your words and seek to push myself more…if not now than when. I like, Gerri need to print this out and/or push that envelope wide open and be true to my self. Why do we hide…

It's scary ... scary to go for our most authentic selves ... scary to change the status quo. It takes courage and sometimes missteps and false starts ... but that's all good 'cause eventually, we take off from the nest we've created for ourselves ... xoxoxoxo MC

Gorgeous. Hits home. But will your action look like? What will it be?

I keep waiting to wake up. To make a move. To finally write that slim volume of verse that will drive humankind mad. To put pen to pad and stir up storms. But I look on without moving. Frozen. Paralyzed.

Or am I moving but just can’t detect it. Like that turtle?

I’d love to know what your action will be. Because from this side of the stage, to me—a fan, you are the star of a great drama.

I do agree that sometimes we're acting -- taking very important action -- that's imperceptible sometimes even to ourselves. Girl, I might be the star of a drama -- but only in my own mind ;)..... need to take that thing out on to the world stage .... let's do it!

I may just have to frame this post! Or at least read if frequently. Oh wait, and act on it!
