Groggy Clarity

I went to sleep last night having pulled this card from my devotionals:

I read signs, tarot, and meaning into all forces around me and I convert these messages into suggestions and then I spin them into tales. My friend’s teenage daughter is grappling with the complexities of who she is and where she fits in – the answer, she doesn’t, won’t, can’t – because she needs to create her own world as all of us creatives have had to do.

I have made my world and it is a much better world than I ever saw outside.

US (Russian-born) sculptor (1900 – 1988)

One day I will write about how writing has saved my life. It has guided me through the passages of love and loss, joy and sorrow, and most of all my own self-actualization.

This morning, I woke and the first thing I saw was the kimono on the wall that Sty gave me when we first started seeing each other. The beauty he delivered always had a caution light blinking in the background of my mind, the light got clearer and clearer and though the beauty of him remains, the reality of him is glaring. We create our world and we allow others to merge their world with ours, we become very choosy about who we let in and who we show the way out. Remember we are walking a path and going around our own spiral, there are those we leave behind as we move up to a higher consciousness – it’s sad and disconcerting but it should not impede our progress.

Go you must, forging your own way in the world.

And leave behind those who choose not to budge.
