Wisdom

Bump, thump. Here I am. Don't talk, don't speak. Listen. Everything is just fine. Achieving is a silent road. Whisper your thoughts. Shhh, listen. Change is a shift of wind, subtle hints and blaring moves.

        Don't talk, don't speak, don't whisper, don't mutter. I feel, don't interject that which is done.

        I suggest a twist. Soul can be found without bowing to the graces of the masses.  Existing in a world between heaven and earth, an earthiest as the great Edward Abbey so eloquently put, I stand for what I stand on. Don't travel through with judgment. Just listen, it isn't a hard concept.

Stealing from the reserves now.

        Subjective moods, intricate thoughts, you don't know how you arrived here, but it's staring at you bold and forefront. Don't direct it. This isn't a production.

         It's a thought on the tip of your mind. Guilt is a terrible controlling factor. Till there is nothing left it will bleed you to submission. Shh, don't talk, don't mutter. I wanted to move to this side of the fence. Waving good-bye to the coat that weighted my shoulders. Goodnight darling. I move into the column of memory. 

         I'm still here, it's the end of the song. New composition, a composer of life, shhh be open. Might I suggest a new suitcase. For the first time, I understand what's contained in my luggage. With each nod of agreement, these lessons I drag around seem lighter.

Is that where the strenght of wisdom prevails from?

I have been busy lately and haven't been reading others journals as much but just happened to click on yours even though I have a million other alerts. Glad I did, as always, your words are mysterious and poinant yet so open and free. I will always remeber I saw a show once, about this women who had been in a bad kind of relationship with a contolling man. When she finally saw him again after a long time, she looked at him with her head to the side and said, "I always remembered you being taller." I have felt the same way myself about a past relationship. It is funny how what once we could not see at one time becomes so amazingly clear at another.

Ssshhhhh...  Did you hear that?  I could've sworn it was the sound of weight dropping from someone's back.  Or was it the sweet sound of a new beginning that I heard?

Nicely done!

Your J-Page may have been "classified" as RAMBLINGS by the AOL Journals Editors, but I think they missed the mark by a far margin.  Your Journal is nothing short of Artwork, Masterpiece in Expression.  You have a gift..... and I'm sure that the written word is just one of many gifts for you.  I never come away from an entry here without SOME form of inspiration to my thought processes.

Hi :)

I find myself coming by each night, as I do with a few select journals, to find peace before I try to sleep. You have a beautiful...thought and emotion provoking journal. The word is "Ethereal." Be well dear one and of good cheer.

Always, Carly :)

We have probably all either been there, or are there. We just haven`t realized it with such eloquence. Great entry!

Even I'm breathing easier after reading this one!  To be able to use words the way you do, we should all be so fortunate.  For some reason I didn't get an alert for this one, thank goodness I stop by daily!  Darn AOL!  You truly are an artist.
