Heart

  If it were not for this body of mine, my insides would be all over this floor, the street, the country. My skin is the boundary that keeps me together, yet still little parts of myself are left behind in every place I’ve rested these bones. The other parts of me take hold of the wind and fly on its gusts to faraway lands, yearning for my core, limbs, and heavier secrets to follow. On calmer days, I glide along with pencil and paper but today I feel like dipping my fingers in a decanter of mediums to aerate the soul. If later it is deemed a crime to inhabit all corners and crevices of this earth, I will plead guilty but for now I find solace in seeking omnipresence. We are told never to spread ourselves too thin, but if slowly we become a thousand layers, no one would blink twice. Friends, raise your chins until you are doing a backbend, as once your legs follow, we will be walking on the sky. Limits feel like nothing other than a marker of how far we can go without changing and yet new boundaries can be crossed once we learn to evolve.

Mind

  Already, this blog is transforming into something I did not originally intend nor is it something I would have imagined ten years ago when I thought of the concept of this name. But that is the genius of pushing past originally set limits. This past year I have met such beautiful souls that have shown me how they strive beyond their abilities. To them, casual running leads to twenty-six miles and inspires perseverance. Living room mash-ups have led to intimate venue performances and inspire me through creativity. Ritualistic daily workouts lead to personal records displayed to a crowd, inspiring strength. Where can I grow? What can I inspire?

Matters

  I have let myself believe I need to be “good enough” to share my growth and learning with the public eye. Finally I understand the journey is worth sharing too, no matter where and when you begin.
