folded gifts.......

“The Voice 

There is a voice inside of you 
That whispers all day long, 
"I feel this is right for me, 
I know that this is wrong." 
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend 
Or wise man can decide 
What's right for you--just listen to 
The voice that speaks inside.” 
― Shel Silverstein

rolled up

balled up

hidden away,

those secret gifts,

tiny dreams,

blossoms of potential,

hidden underneath that outer layer

put on

by

someone other then self---mom, dad, grandparents, preacher, teacher, boss....we tend to trust them most--think they know best....

We reside there

sides rolled up,

holding the oughts and shoulds others

give us.

wonder what might happen,

if

the colorful us

were to open up,

allow uniqueness to explode

in

a colorful kaleidoscope...

would the world change,

would I change,

what might happen

if...

if..

for one day...

I believed

my stuff mattered

and

I rolled down the corners of my balled up tightly woven existence

and

let my true colors out....

I wonder.....

happy Tuesday..

hugs and blessings to you all.
