The Tapestry of Life…
It has taken me eight decades to realize that the individual self is a performer, life is the stage; we are masters of our emotions capable of expressing self-assurance, joy and rage. There is a hidden self, living deep within the forest of life, one that we prefer not to show, it is the image of strength and confidence that we truly desire to characterize. It is during the times of unknown valleys, darkness and fear; that we wear a mask, we masquerade keeping emotions hidden in the forest of our souls, yet within sight and near to ourselves. The landscape of ourselves if allowed will guide us to better places, and it is the silent strong self that transforms our outward faces. To believe in our aspirations and make our lives worth living, to hope we hang on to; it is within the landscape of our strong confident selves that allows us to dream. We perform in our world upon the stage of life where we remain perfect impressionist; yet, it is only when we change the tapestry of our lives we find true happiness.
