STAND OUT!
“Why fit in when you were born to stand out?”
Dr. Seuss
If I don't fit in
does it really mean
what I think it might mean?
WAS
I was born to stand out!!!
Surely not!
My introverted nature
loves
blending into the background so I can
watch
the human dance move and swirl and embrace in a weird kind of fashion
moving and jumping and crashing
playing just right to
get what is needed or what is wanted.
I watch..
watch people touch
watch hands connect
see the invisible heart connections
and all the while
I stand silently in awe of the wonder of the Universe
and
from what i see and experience
it is a grand kind of place
that is so fully composed of Mystery ...
to even uncover a small quirky atomic piece of it
well
it is virtually impossible.
I have spent alot of time
studying the human dance
practicing the steps in my head
and
as I approach the grand age of 50
I am trying to change my venue....
not watching so much
not capturing the sights and sound and invisible connections I see
I want to move out
come away from the wall
laugh and joke and scream and feel
....
I don't think I was born to blend in
think I've tried for too long to make it happen
am beginning to take off the cover-up
and
allow it to happen
allow my true color or should I say true colors-
the clean and the off color one's
to stand on out.
All I can say is this
Is the world ready for it?
update to follow....
have an incredible weekend
walk in the cool brisk air,
look at the hazy perspective of the sky as
a storm approaches
listen to the crunch of leaves under your feet
and
relish the fact that
you and I are alive
for one more day,
one more minute
one more second.
Go ahead
I'm trying to...
Let your True colors.....
stand on out.
Have a wonderful Sunday...
blessings...

I am a die hard introvert. I was born this way.
It took me 30 years to become comfortable with being wallpaper but I finally became one with it. These days I have no desire to break out... those feelings for me were mostly in high school and young adult eras.
There is one fear that comes with it though.... I find that I am somehow becoming MORE introverted the older I get... that sort of scares me on some levels.
I am also an introvert, but have come to love it!
