When you wrap your sadness in love your soul begins
to heal. Live life with the
infinite sense of humor that she needs.
Always hear the music and never stop dancing. Find your somewhere and begin.
There is always a moment in life when all of a
sudden you dare to begin again. The moment will
be not magic; it will not be perfect, it simply will be, and you will know it. You take your dreams and your fears and
you wrap them together and you make your life. You discover yourself. No matter what the journey has been so far you look up into
the midnight sky and there you are.
You find your childhood, you embrace it, and you remember and you forget and you grow. The child that was has blossomed. Fears are tempered by
elegance, courage and strength.
Life begins.
A long time ago, I sat on the rocky beach, staring
out into the grand emerald blue Mediterranean Sea - a painting so perfect that
only God could paint - and I knew that I had come home that I had found my
courage and grace.
I knew that whether I stayed another hour or a year
She would be mine for a lifetime. The
noise of life - the passing train the traffic and the voices - slowly, suddenly
faded away and there we were two souls, swaying in the sea breeze. I discovered me and I began my journey of
paint and poetry. Once again a new
voice found.
I fell in love with me in Italy and I found the
rhythm of my life. I began a long
slow dance across the Piazza of this life. Two tortured souls on an incredible journey of discovery and
of faith. Suddenly found and suddenly lost, quite
un-perfect but all mine. Triumphs
and failures along the way, as life should be. My somewhere is Italy, and my Italy is Me - nestled deep in
my soul protected and secure, I am because we are. I set forth once again letting go of what was and embracing
what shall be.
I have come from a place so far from where I
began. My life has been a
journey. Everyday I look in the
mirror and I know that I am the most beautiful girl in the world. I am whom I am because of where I have
been, not because of the life I began as a child, but rather the life I have
chosen. The Life I have lived. That is mine to keep. Today I see the promise of tomorrow, I
stop, I smile and I laugh out loud.
