scrimblings


My pen and I ~


I can’t keep an eye on the timeline
did it before and oh how much I
lost!

Alas, how much it costs to be the Master
of the process and not Time! But then again
how would the dreams come true?

I wont look at my watch
I wont be on guard

What I become when I am where I want to be
Is what I don’t need to remember when I
am where I have to be. All paths lead to the
same destination, is that another confession?

It might very well be, I am inside my timeline
I left my mother’s womb during an earthquake
and since then I am my space, inside me I exist
and every process becomes a part of my being.

I wont look at my watch
I wont be on guard

I am always where I need to be, I don’t weigh
a lot, as I ‘ve been told, just 21 grams of body mass.
The rest is history. . .

Being present. This is what I always want to be.
This is what I need.

I love this insightful look into your essence, your very being. Being born during an earthquake was profetic, you shake things up with your beautiful writings. And I too love your new photo. You are a very beautiful young woman.

I love this. Every word. It made me reflect and think. It reminded me of my own dreams. It felt like words taken from my own mouth(only I wasn't born in an earthquake(and I believe you literally). I was born in the middle of the century, though, in the middle of the USA heartland on Pearl Harbour Day.

* BTW, I love your new picture. You have a beautiful heart shaped face.
