Let the music play


This canvas woke me early this morning, a stored, unfinished relic of yesterday. A long ago yesterday. Thirty two years of yesterdays. How did he make it through all the moves. How did he make it through all the loss. How did he survive & why. Apparently he has something to say. I'm not sure, if he would brave this journey with me to only be silent. Years ago he spoke to me from a magazine. Then, he started to show up every time I went to church. He keep evolving, spinning, twisting ... till finally out of fear, I put him in the back, I stored him away. Cause he had WAY too much to say.

Today, I will begin again with him. I'll put a tune on repeat, till I can feel the beat. Let the music play ...


edit ... it's is Friday & Jennifer's Sneak Peek Fridays are back! She just redesigned her blog on wordpress & it's a pretty clean slate. I love white space!

Inspired Studios Magazine; shares stories of pressing on in our visions, that none can see.  I have a theory, about GOD, abundance and the gift of inspiration, it goes something like this ...

Some, stand on the sidewalk wishing, they had the courage to step off the curb and grab it.
