Flap-Flap

We are larger than our physical forms...these vessels we use as our anchors to this realm...we are in truth our spirits, which powers the vessel from within...yet is not contained by it. Our auras surround and envelope us...they carry the weight...or levity of our emotions...an aura of sadness can be felt...an aura of happiness can infect...

This formless aura...this us that is we...what shapes can you mold it into? The forms are as limitless as your imagination...

Me?

I like to imagine myself with wings when I'm down...

You have to stick your chest out when you have wings you know...

You have to let that little light of yours shine through...

Because you have wings...

And they're pretty...

They're long and they're flowy...

And since they're your aura...

No one will mind when you flap them a little...

How bad is a day when you can imagine yourself with wings?

Not so bad...

So while it won't change what has gotten you down...

The moment you can imagine yourself with wings...

Is the moment you know you are coming out of that sadness...

Then flap your wings...

Give emphasis to your flight from sadness' realm...

And fly...

i was at a friend's house making torches for my feet...(whole 'nother story behind that...)
and we were doing arts n' crafts and then someone says...
"let's have a circus theme"...so...i'd never drawn a clown...riding a butterfly...

05/31/11 - "you CAN fly!!!"


There are times when our friends realize we can fly before we do...this is to the friends that don't hesitate to push us over the ledge when we forget that we have wings, when our faith in the strength of our own wings falter, when we know we can fly but still are coming up with excuses not to jump... to those friends that realize that some of us just need a good shove followed by some encouraging words as our feet leave the edge... "you CAN fly!!!"

05/31/11 - "Sitting This Flight Out" or "The Moment Before a Cocoon is Spun"


There are times when your wings are pretty as can be, and the skies are blue, but there's no one around with whom to share the view... and while flying solo can be fine and dandy... the fact is is that sometimes it's not, and so you sit a flight out...which personally...i feel is healthier than taking flight from time with yourself...it's ok to be mopey if you miss your friends and pout on your couch if you can't see them sometimes...they're your friends...you should miss them...but running out in search of distractions from self are not the best way to deal with mopeyness...sometimes the mopeyness can serve to highlight the awesomeness of those that you miss. sometimes mopeyness blows away without the faintest hint of itself and it serves to highlight its own foolishness. sometimes mopeyness has you stare in the mirror and see the exact reason you are running from yourself...if your mopeyness is ever so kind...return its favor by using your downtime to address these issues...because if you run from them to happier distractions...they'll only be there when you come back. *hugs*
