Rememberance

Today is a day that lives under the shadow of the past.  So much loss and the unsettling reminder that we are not invicible.  I feel for those who lost family, friends, and associates on that dreadful day in 2011.  I am also thankful that those of us that lived through this event were able to survive.  Everyday we should remember that there were heroic people that help to prevent the full extent of the devastation that was intended.  The soliders that fight daily for freedom, the firefighters, and the police officers that sacrificed so that America could pull through this tragedy.  September 11, 2001 will forever hold a dark place in our past, yet we must continue to move forward with the hope of a bright future.  Pain and suffering brought America together in those hours after 9-11.  We must hold on to that unity in a daily initiative to become stronger than ever.

Revival

I had lost my inspiration some time ago. Lost it to the reality of a world void of imagination and passion. I once used words as my weapons but I have become defenseless against the weight of the world. I am a woman, unarmed and vulnerable to the terrors that surround a gentle heart and an optimistic spirit. I desire to be free from this prison that holds me. To spread my wings and fly off into the distance. To go far from this place. These are cruel glass walls that allow me to see my salvation yet prevent me from grasping it. I must find a way to break these walls down, to find solace in a place without restrictions. I see this space as a means of escape.  The ability to discuss the issues that plague my mind.  The emotions and discussion that appears here is meant to provide mental stimulation in the midst of ignorance and chaos.  The symphony that plays in my mind is one with depth, complicated and colorful.  Welcome inside my Mental Mosaic, I look forward to the journey.
