As the Lights Dim

Sometimes it is necessary to pick a corner and from upon it, gaze at it all. During this time all one should do is admired the beauty they can see from that particular perspective. Think about the images that arise, envision them before you; be in a trance if need be, and count the times you've felt amazing. Sometimes it is vital to step back and be something else, not someONE else, but someTHING else. Whatever it may be, let it become you and you it. It is from there that I want you to look at yourself, look at your life, and look at what stands with you and call it how you see it....

As the lights dim, I think about how I've made life a grand project of meaning making. Reconceptualizations are the foundations to my emotions, my thought processes, my core....  It will never again be about "what I need to change", rather about "what needs improvement". Words CAN and DO break us, but they can give life and it is precisely the latter that I've expounded upon in order to be stronger than ever.

Words have come to be my crayons, my paints and brushes and the people that surround me, my canvas--I color everyday, imprinting the most genuine, most beautiful portraits and scenery. As the lights dim, I have stepped back, become the wall and embrace all that I have, all that I've worked for, all that encompasses me and I blend, then fade all the while I stand tall and strong (as are most walls) and I think "wow it really can't be any better than this."
