MUSIC OF THE SOUL

It sometimes feels as though I am defined by the rules of others.  Rules about what is and isn’t okay in certain circumstances.  Times to be ‘polite’, procedures that must be followed, social conventions, roles to play, what to wear, how to look, when to speak, behaviors that are expected, and tradition to be respected; is there any freedom for spontaneity, for originality. 

Despite the push to conform, there is room to be me and there is space to be you.  Each journey is marked by irreplaceable, exceptional moments that are one of a kind.  Listening to the beat of my own drum I will move forward into this day giving myself permission to be.  I will also bless you to hear the music of your own soul and accept the ways in which you do your unique dance.
