you've got to get yourself together...…you got stuck in a moment and now you can’t get out of it.
Sept. 10, 2002
I feel, hopefully not prematurely, that I coming to a place of transition, the slow-motion turning of my soul toward forgiveness and wholeness. Then again, it could just be the sunshine, I’m always a little more forgiving when the sky is blue. In all seriousness though, as everyone has been thinking about what happened last year, the one theme that continually grabs both my attention and my conscience is the imperative to live every day as if it were the last. I know, terribly inspirational and cliche, but nevertheless true. I don’t have time to hate the people who have hurt me, and I certainly don’t have time to nurse the wounds inflicted by well-meaning (and not so well meaning) critics. I trust that whatever screws I have loose can and will become apparent as I interact with those I love, the ones whose egos don’t need to deflate mine in order to maintain their self-respect.
