writing a new page....

 Everything is temporary. Everything begins and ends and begins again. When I look ahead, I imagine infinite possible futures repeated like countless photocopies, a thousand blank pages, and in each one I see myself, never hiding, never sitting silently, and never just waiting and waiting and watching the world go by...
FROM THE MOVIE CLOCKWATCHERS


i wish i was optimistic enough..
to
see the infinite possibilities,
to catch a glimmer
of the unwritten pages of things that begin and end and begin again.
Most days I am the idealistic dreamer watching...
standing
observing the dance
thinking and analyzing and unwinding
the intricate odysseys of humankind.
The continuous circle
plays on
beginnings,
endings
filled with moments of highs and lows,
woven with friends and lovers and ecstatic moments
and
then
without rhyme or reason or explanation
the
circle dance changes music
life slows to a lull
and
just as quickly
the craziness like that of rap and blues
pops in....

Life...
it begins
circles around and just
when you think it is ending...
it begins again
with new pages
to be written in our story book....
new adventures to be lived,
new love and hope to be birthed into existance.

For today...
just today...
I will fully participate in the dance,
move my feet,
feel the beat,
dance
dance my own moves--good or bad---
listen to my heart
and
enjoy
the ride to a new page of my story.

May today..
be the day..
we all embrace life as it is
our unwritten circle of story
and fill our pages with good stuff like love and grace and hope and laughter and laughter and relationship...

I'd love to read your tale....
come on...tell me about your day....
where did you see the fragility of life,
the wonder of adventure,
the hope of a new day...

blessings to each of you
as you write your page today...

hugs and blessings

Pam,
I find that my two years of relaxed, laid back observation are coming to a close soon. So today was a day for doing things I haven't done in a long time - ie., active planning. I see two very new things readying to happen and the dance is now mine to choose. Much like you say, stories waiting to be written...
The Clockwatchers excerpt has two potent lines "Everything is temporary. Everything begins and ends and begins again."
True for all of us, and with my day of realizations, for me too.
Am moving again! And then there'll be Mini-baby in a couple of months after.
hugs Anne
