Seasons Change

Indeed it has been a long time since my last post, as seasons change so do I and the cycle helps me get back to me. I am posting the following entry to let everyone know it's never too late to start again - - - again.

Déjà Vu

I am walking by a bayside

Listening to the trickling sounds of hope and ambition pass by.

I walk a familiar path.

I've been here before, faintly reminiscent of hurt and disappointment.

This place – I was here then and am now

I see a piece of a dream then remember it was mine.

It was here then and it is here now

Washed up along the shoreline

And I walk to see more memories of me,

My dreams.

And I gather them up like fresh sun drenched linen, piece them together

This time they make more sense

Hence I am here again at this place where fighting was once fleeting and discouragement marooned me

My dreams.

I pick up my dreams, carry them, not where I left off but

Off to whence I left…

Ironically on yesterday, I checked my mail and in the box was a letter from Sojourner’s magazine--reminding me that it was time to “Renew.” How could they be so right? **************************************************************************** I woke up like any other day this morning but somehow I am different. Tonight I feel a lot of elements coming together and congealing like water droplets across a Teflon pan. For one thing, I learned that I am an organizer--it doesn't matter what I’m organizing or for what cause, it’s what I do. And, I haven’t done it in a while. For two, I have learned that life sometimes takes you full circle. You’ll find yourself at a crossroads that you onc...
