"We have to dare to be ourselves,
however frightening or strange
that self may prove to be."
May Sarton
As I wandered the aisles, art work caught my eye. Immediate reactions came in the forms of honor, respect, and amazement. There were a few pieces I revered just for the sake of art while others stimulated a desire for my own creative process.
As the afternoon passed by, I began to realize how my eyes floated over once admired work. I was surprised past objects of interest no longer held my attention. I was being drawn to unfamiliar designs and colors.
I know my lovely self very well and monitor my heart regularly, so this shift was a surprise for me. When had I changed? Then it occurred to me to not place energy in who I used to be, but to invest my time into the unfolding of who I now want to be.
