unlocking the chain that binds........

 You unlock this door with the key of imagination.

 Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone. 

season 4 and 5 opening narration of Twilight Zone

 For the longest time,

I have carried the weight of others on my shoulders,

felt their pain pressing against my heart,

Their expectations,

perceptions,

good ole boy and good ole gal roles and games

and

I waited and I wondered and I tried to carry it all

play their game,

mold myself to the imprint of their

design.

After awhile,

 i felt the beast of the burden

the burden of not belonging,

not being a full fledged

"something"

used up

messed up,

spiritually bankrupt and broken

that is what their weight

did for me

....

I kept waiting...

day after day

year after year

to get their phone call,

feel their embrace

be anointed by their hands....it never came

unless....

convienence brought the call.

The weight

was too heavy,

my free spirit

tired of the binding effects

of

fitting in,

holding back,

tired of the blank stares,

the unanswered prayers,

tired of hurt,

pain,

tears....

just plain tired of a broken heart.

then one day...

The weight was too much,

self was worth more

and

I picked the lock

slid it off

and

dropped the chains that bound me

suddenly

as the weight of their binding

was let go...

I moved into another dimension

a

dimension of sight, of sound of mind

and

crossed into the twilight zone

where

The Mystery rose to greet me,

laughed and danced

and

said

"good to see YOU"

and

I could breath

for

finally

I was free...

free to be me...

and

that was, is, will be

ENOUGH

HAPPY TUESDAY
