"There is no one flower that cancels
the need for another. Each bloom
has its unique and irreplaceable beauty."
Julia Cameron
The Artist's Way
I am not very good at math so I am grateful for accountants, bankers, and financial planners. Coordination has never been a plus for me, so I admire athletes, dancers, and fire fighters. My voice can easily be projected and my words are crisp, but they will not embrace the rhythm of song. I am thankful for musicians who can provide ballads and lullabies.
Inspirations from poets like Hafiz or Rumi never seemingly slide out of my pen. No matter how much paint I apply to the canvas, it is clearly not competition for Georgia O'Keefe. The flowers in my garden bring me pleasure, but I am not like others who have ten green thumbs.
I admire and respect those I have mentioned above, but I desire to flourish in my own special way. I want to be fully me, whatever that is, with authentic thoughts and flair. I endeavor to use my collective gifts as though they were a box of crayons, blending hues here and there. I have a need for all of us to support each other, producing a masterpiece of our world.
