there are times when you say no more to the things that bind you, keep you hidden, keep you in chains from living the life that you've always wanted.
there are times that you give yourself the space to just be exactly who you are.
and to be happy with yourself.
in love even.
and there are times when things creep up from depths you didn't know existed and you weep elephant tears over loss and betrayals and your trespasses.
and you forgive and you ask for forgiveness.
and you move on knowing that the chains will be broken for you and for another.
there are times to let go of relationships. and there are times to grab ahold of others.
there are times when the woman next to you in the checkout line is god in flesh.
and you smile. and the world smiles with you.
there are times that you do what is important not because you should, but because you are older, wiser and have released some of your control. OR times when you choose what is right, or good or true or loving because it just flows out of you.
there are days when it feels like it's been 6:30 for hours and that big ball of yellow in the sky will never go down so you can see what the future holds.
and there are days when you really wish the memory of the moment would go on and on and on.
there are days when your heart leaps out of your body with passion and sincerity at injustices and poverty. when you vow to never partake of McDonalds again.
And there are days when Taoc Bell is breakfast, lunch and dinner and you walk past the hungry guy on the street corner and say he's just a drunk who's looking for a quick buck.
there are moments when everything you could possibly be thinking about is so crystal clear it's exhausting.
then there are days when you do a habitual inventory of your soul to find that you cannot come to one conclusion.
