Portrayal

When you question the many facets of your make-up, the process should always be treated with the care of a diamond excavation.  Being fragile is not a weakness it is the essential simplicity of treating yourself like the precious gem that you are. But be strong in your convictions and unwavering in your quest. It’s okay to stumble but try not to fall.

Life is vulnerable. You should never take anything for granted and you should refrain from being self absorbed. Learn to appreciate, be respectful and try to stay humble.  Be true to yourself and don’t ever want anything so bad that you let it take advantage of your innate nature.  You need to participate in the practice of your so called life. Learn the art of being specific if you really want to raise yourself to a higher vibrational level.

Doing something over and over, expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity. With awareness being half the battle how do you actually win?  Who holds up the threshold so you can finally cross the finish line? How do you get out of the maze of attracting that which you have no tolerance for anymore?

Last night during one of the greatest shows I’ve seen in a very long time I was reminded again just how obviously disconcerting my choices can be.  It’s enough to put a halt on the search, stop asking the questions, and stay on the solo course of, you only ever have to answer to yourself so don’t make yourself nuts in the process kind of disconcerting.

There has to come a time when you just throw your hands up to the air, stop trying so hard, if at all and hope that life surprises you.  The never ending roller coaster of been there done that has become humorous in it’s efforts. The part I play is obvious in it’s endeavors and when will being accountable be enough?

I don’t feel bitter or jaded which is a blessing unto itself but I do find myself caring a little less about the outcome. It was inevitable that there come a time that I would have to put myself first.

Thank you Michael Jackson for your talents, your lyrics, and the inspiration that your life was. I would have never guessed that the clarity of the message I needed to hear would come in this way…  Wherever you are I hope you can see the show that has been depicted in your honor.
