I needed this summer to gather myself in tight
Like I was sitting on a blanket, and I gathered it close to me
pulling in some of my loose corners
tightening some things that had come loose
To rediscover. To learn, mellow, become. to wrap myself up in things that really mattered.
and then to loosen what needed loosening and letting go.
Change.
Now I'm ready to unwrap again, and spread out,
out
out.
“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” -Sylvia Plath

I love how you describe that process that seems to continue in cycles throughout life. I look forward to reading about where that reaching out and out takes you.
I echo sue and I LOVE that photo. You're amazing, pear. AMAZING.
the best is that it always takes a good taking in of things before you are ready to let back out.
