Glowing Perspective


There is a challenge. We call it discovery. I am terrified, excited, nervous, and joyful. A new adventure kisses the horizon and I am currently left in limbo. It does not become the question, "should I or shouldn't I," instead it breaks a new dawn, revealing colors I did not understand before, a new strength I did not know I possessed. The once sandy beaches and tangerine sunsets are left behind only to be discovered by a new wave. What is this wonder? A new world is just ahead, I can see the peaks of the mountains. I can smell the air, feel the crisp mornings. As a legacy dies, fall gives birth to an upcoming dream. Flames.

The view of the dreadful fire has since been extinguished, leaving only ashes for this phoenix to be born, again. There are the views, the stages, awful sensations. There are surges of insecurity, creativity, passion. A challenge presents itself, asserts my soul. Stares into my multi-colored eyes. A giant dare, a faint scare. A living pawn is suddenly thinking, viewing life as a new-born. Educated.

I think it is very profound that you chose to put a cat graphic with this blog entry. A blog entry in which you reference a phoenix rebirth - and a cat's multiple lives.

Yes, dear, you will have many opportunities to "press clear" and try again. I call those opportunities "mornings". :-)
