simple truths

I remember my Grandmama, explaining to my 7 year old self,       "Every seven years your body changes." As an adult, this has proved to be true. Even science backs up Grandmama on this one, nearly every cell in our body including the ones which make up our bones are in fact replaced over time (although its a lot more complex than that...). Think back to seven years old. Parents- think of your child at 7 years old!! The age of reason, and I will add the age of individual opinion, lol. Fast forward to fourteen years! Ok, enough said on that age....now 21..... These are defining years for most people, when not just our physical body changes, but our persona and status too. Interestingly, seven years comes up as the final number of many cycles. Debts are cancelled after 7 years. Bad luck from broken mirrors thankfully disappear. The famous "seven year itch," in marriages. I have noticed in my personal life, many events, people and places have come back

Walking Along Walking along the edge. Gazing at possibilities. Slowly taking these steps, I sway to find my footing. Indefinite, but with stride, and seeking affirmation, I am altogether captured by the reverent form unfolding. Resisting an impressive urge, to plunge into what feels true, I have fallen before, and as they say, That, is not what kills. So, here I remain. Myself. Steady and balanced on this ledge. On the horizon, moments envisaged,  waiting to become… When the timing is right, with respect to that uncertain state, disquietude shall cease, and a new harmony will compose… Where- I can jump, or rather fall, and immerse absolutely, in amity and contentment. Fulfillment of our course. What an extraordinary endeavor we have set out to travel. The words which brim upon my lips, simply do not avail, or impart to you, what I believe, this journey may reveal. For now… These words will hold their place and we will walk on still. -Rochell
