| Here is the Quote that goes with this work: “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” ~Helen Keller *** This work has been in progress for more than a year, finished on 5/16/08. *** Her Story : Well it's all of our stories isn't it? Our personal travels, experiences, lessons, baggage some say. I say it's my story and it only can run and or ruin my life if I give it power too. I have a story, just as you do. My story has heroes, risks, lessons, devils, dragons, mountains and roads. It's mine. It maybe the only thing I get to take with me as they say, my story. I leave it open, I leave a ace of spades for a bookmark; my Moments, are now, the desire is not to shed my past, but to incorporate it into the whole picture. I get to write the ending though. I get to write the ending. I am what I am because of every single thought, experience, choice made, choices not made, love had, love lost. I am what I am because of my story. I have no shame. We have all suffered, it's the suffering I feared. I no longer Fear. The opposite of Fear is not Courage, It is Love. Living in the moment, I can accept every line on my aging face as testament to the many thousand battlefields, and miles over come to be here today. As I am. We all have a story. We all have a terminal illness. It's called Birth. I'm living like it's my last ten seconds. Balls to the Wall. Strap it on. All out. Full steam ahead. A friend recently commented that my work made her think that I was a person that did what she wanted to do, regardless, and screamed at people to "Be Happy!" [with my work, not literally]. I think she is right, I am doing those things, and I would add only one thing, to hone not to destroy her sentiment, "Be Happy Right Here & Now!" For it's all we may have in the end; living without regrets, don't miss it. I don't want to dismiss, I want to embrace. I want personal freedom. I release my resistance. This is my Story. Well, One of them. Where is your story taking you? *** Thank you for reading, have a great day. Heather |
