The Continuum

Growth is inevitable.. no matter how you think you will never change…

TERILEE AND I WERE ON THE SAME WAVE LENGTH THIS MORNING.. So without requesting art from my buddy..
She read my Mind!!!!
I love Her!
A Moment in The Continuum

The Continuum belongs to the following groups:

Complex Simplicity of Art, All Out Emotion, Core [C.O.R.E], Digital Abstracts & Patterns, Feminine Intent (LIMIT TWO IMAGES PER DAY), in-between, Light In The Darkness, Nirvana (Only 1 photographic art and 1 written work will be accepted per day ), The Art of Intrigue 2/24, THE DIVINE FEMININE, The Healing Journey, THE SISTERHOOD, Unconventional Artistry - 3 per day and Up & Coming Writers

What have I done?
Attracted the best?
Attracted the worst?
In me perhaps.

What has lead me down a golden pathway
That is filled with ‘a promise’ that fades
As the pathway leads me on?

What seemed like yesterdays agreements
Are looking like today’s betrayals and
I can’t help this growing I said
And now,
I am the dust that blinds the following
I am the piece of glass in a wound
Of my lover
Festering like denial and hopeless
Choices
I am the betrayer for having wanted
More than the beginning
I had bargained for.

All’s I know is today is new
As I let it be
All my agreements of yesterday seem like
Kindergarten rules
Like sitting on a hill and seeing my friends
Sing round me
Hands clasped
‘And they all fall down’

Hey that was fun!
Who said that yesterday’s promises weren’t real?
Who said that kindergarten wasn’t fun

But today I am no longer a youngster
With the philosophy of One.
As I breathe and grow
I am forever reaching
For the parts of me that have called me
Forth
Forever.
Even my Spirit says,
I must grow
Even My Souls says
I grow too my love
I will never stop
This growing
They say
They are my way showers
My guides
As each time I desire more
Like a rocket they hop inside and fly
Forward
‘The Continuum’
While I am left to walk on my bare feet
And calloused toes
Bleeding sometimes

That’s Ok..
I know when I get close to them
I know when my path almost merges
With their eagerness
For it is then I look around and know
That
All is Well
All is Good
And my smile lights up the sky.

    Most paths have obstacles, some small, some large. In order to continue to move forward and gorw, we must meet those obstacles and surmount them, go around them, deal with them in the best way possible to ensure our journey continues. Sometimes, we will meet people who will hinder our journey, and sometimes, we will meet those who help our journey – they are all part of our journey, and enrich our lives. Sometimes that journey seems almost too much to bear, but, if we are true to ourselves, we push on and learn. If we can smile along the way, then the journey is worthwhile, and our growth continues.

    Clarkey!!! most much thanks!! you are so right.. obstacles sometimes are our own choices.. we believe in them for the moment and then they are later antiquated.. I just wish we could allow more for the growth and not get so stuck in the .. but I told you so stuff.. anyway.. we grow.. thanks for your enlightening thoughts. ;=}

    Who was it that said that if we never know disappointment or sadness or grief … how can we then know when we are happy and full of joy and the extent of that joy and happiness. When we have a comparison we realize just how happy we are or were. We will know when we have finally arrived when we can be happy and content and joyful during those times when it SEEMS as though it is not perfect or as they thought we wanted it to be. Perhaps this is the greatest secret to the next best thought!
    Love you, Lina. And there is no next best after that!

    What a beleive….
    yes….
    human are walking trees…
    and then when they start to shrink
    like a mature fruit..
    just become uneasy about “growing”
    Love growing….
    Intelligence growing…
    cannot grow in size neither in boughs..
    just yearning for growing….alone.
    And then…that promise of healthy growing..
    that we heard when children…
    “when you will grow….that will come. when you….”
    is tapping into the desire..
    of being something more…
    and more..
    and grow.
    Promises become twisted memories,
    and defeating our real feelings.
    And then a voice says…
    stops….
    do not.
    Just unfold your soul voice..
    and let it rest… in quietness..
    like the tiles moss.
    Rosa (this is what I felt…this is what I share… a hug dear..)
