Creases and Etchings

"We live beneath many layers.  Some are for

our protection, and some are for our control."

Russell Eric Dobda

As unique souls, we have a core that we can build upon, decorate, and dismantle.  There is a need to be aligned and then a focus to remain balanced.  The key, of course, is to be aware of when it is time to add or subtract.

We out grow original intentions, change pathways, and seek the unknown, while struggling to remain upright and steadfast.  There must be a strength to weather strong winds, deflect hurling waves, and temper the hot sun.

Our true beauty is reflected in our hard earned creases and etchings on our soul.  Strength is reflected in how we carry our words, perceptions, and dreams.  As our layers thicken with knowledge, we stretch towards the sky, reaching for the illumination of the stars sprinkled across the sky.
