an old find

took a minute this morning, in the midst of my early morning work schedule to look at an old sketchbook that caught my eye ... this is something that i found ... so surprised to find this amongst drawings ... remembering that i actually used to write for the fun of it way back when ... here you go

understand what? ...
understand others trying to tell you how to be...
be strong! be smart!
strong how?
strong to make yourself hurt ...
strong to not make yourself feel truth ...
smart about what?
smart enough to make your socks match just cause they're supposed to...
smart to brush your teeth ... your hair... your toes, just cuz smart people keep themselves clean?
foolish!
how about brushing the stars ... try to ... at least you are looking at them.
can't see them? paint them!
be strong enough to lift the moon ... or at least strong enough to draw it.
O - look a circle, a moon ... see many can be strong!
stars & moons your typical story ... of course i'm being typical.
although, i have to say i'm not always ... catch me on my mushroom & frog day ...
it will be a fairytale!!

the end :)

That is great. I am inspired to look up some of my old musings. Isn't it sad how we let creativity drop to the back burner as time passes?
