~we live but a fraction of our life. why do we not let in the flood, raise the gates, and set all our wheels in motion?~ Thoreau

what i want to do....
give away more, to let more of Life in....
more color.....more love....more music....i NEED to make more room for my soul to grow. the roots of who i am are stifled....root bound........
i'm freakin' breaking the pot wide open.

HOPE


HOPE, originally uploaded by My Soul Can Dance.

thought of the day....or more like question of the week....

How does one and others identify us without all the things that we express ourselves with?.....clothes, home decor, car, jewelry, everything......

What happens when we give away the material possessions that "express" who we are?...........

Would this act free us to become who we want to be?...who we have become since acquiring some of these possessions.....

these are thoughts running through my mind.....

expression is good........but when it is only expressed through material possessions....well that can't be good can it?

needs....

what i'm learning about my needs....

i need....

sunshine. warm air. windows open if i'm inside. music that fits my mood. to always be learning a new skill or else i'll go mad. chapstick on hand at all times. calm vibes around me. fluffy pillows. lotion. sweet tea. coconut popsicles. flip flops. okay...maybe i don't NEED all of those things....but they make me happy.

open sky and i'd rathers....


open sky, originally uploaded by My Soul Can Dance.

i'd rather ...

drink out of recycled jelly jars than store bought glasses...

be planted a field of flowers than be given a vase full of roses....

jump in a river rather than a pool....

endure the heat with the windows rolled down than turn on the a/c...

have a picnic outside, than eat in a fancy restaurant...

sing poorly than not sing at all....

and the list goes on....

love is a madman ring, originally uploaded by My Soul Can Dance.

with the concept of always having a project in the works (a learning one)....my month of May project is to learn a French phrase/word everyday....i'm taping words of common everyday objects up all over the house in order to learn the french word for them...etc.
Do you have a May project?
