I wish, I always have the key
The key to being free

I wish, I always have the lock
The lock to keep away the fear

I wish, I always have the answer
The answer that I could always remember where the key is to lock away the fear

For now, I will be.
I savour the knowledge
The knowledge that the fear is locked
The key is not lost
The answer is not needed


Thank you for taking time to read :)

    awww paper, its beautiful!

    Sometimes I wonder why I didn't ever see the key sitting in the lock with the door open??

    thanks, love

    for the friendship :)
    for the positive energy you spread around like pixie dust :D
    for the love that you generously share. . . :_ )

    and for the loving "pinch" ; ) (for the last months - snifffffff!) on the ass to remind me, that I am holding the key, when I confusedly ask where it is!?

    I guess the "key" to being free is to have learned to own the lock first.  Then find a key to fit it to keep the fear shut away in the file cabinets of our minds.  My file cabinet is a mess...but I try not to open it!   Nice work!

    It's not good to live in fear
    Suppressed by others
    Or by your thoughts

    You don't have to look for the key
    Like grand father's glasses
    They are on his forehead
    You have the key.

    Fear doesn't have to be locked up
    It will leave when you set yourself free

    I love you,

    Your Pete

    te he hee its always harder to see it when you're in the middle of a storm love, this I know all to well.

    You know after my experiences on the weekend I sit here wondering what the hell am I doing with my life, there's so much more out there I just don't know how to get it.  Its really unsatisfying you know, and also selfish considering most don't get to experience what I do pretty much week to week.

    I love your words and your analogy, dear wombie !!! My mind has always been a mess! lol

    The last months felt like my filing cabinets exploded and all the papers got burned :(

    Thank to all you lot, I was able to replace " the burnt paper" sheet by sheet :_ )

    p.s. I will take this opportunity to say, I read, have read your comments around wombie (and you know, I follow your blogs) and although you often say, you don´t make sense. . .you do to me and it has helped me immensely. . . :)

    Oh, yeah. . . being in the eye of the storm makes one appreciate life intensely. . .as, i know you do, tobi-lee :)

    I guess, that is why we are here because life is indeed stormy our eyes lose sight we cannot even see what is right before us. . .

    in writing, blogging, sharing, reflecting -

    we weather the storm, not alone but with company. . .
    we turn the key in the lock, hands together
    and set ourselves free
    weeeeeeeee


    goodnight soulsistahs, welterusten mijn schat :X

    Wow....you have read my words.....I always seem to add my little notation that I don't make sense.  I try, is all I can say.  I am glad if I ever even once, helped you in a small way. Thanks for the kind words!

    Howdy Paper! How are you? I saw your post and had to run in and see you. *smile* By the way, i love the poem.  
     
    Here's one for you. You made me think of it when i was reading your comment to lucy....
     
    The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities: but to know someone here and there who thinks and feels with us and though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.  ~ Goethe
     
    *smile* Please know i think of you often! X (hug) Take care ~see ya

    Thank you INH

    I follow your journey, and I am so proud of your steadfastness to overcome.

    My heart aches for the child in you that you lost.  It tears me up.  I have been there too.

    But I hold you, and in another place in another time someday soon, we could be them, untouched.

    We are blessed with daughters (you have such a lovely child! :_ ) ) and I in my belief, see this as a message . . . we have lost our innocence but we are given treasures of life . . . innocent spirits to cherish, and watch grow,bloom.

    I believe in you INH.

    Godspeed, you are always in my prayers,

    j <3

    I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, but it comes from withen. It is there all the time.     -Anna Freud

    This quote came to mind when reading; and I have to continually remind myself of this...set yourself free because you are free. And from all the people that commented who seemingly love you know this as well. Fly...

    Welcome to my blog, and welcome to SoulCast dearest eurekame, :)

    Thank you for taking time to comment, I appreciate it very much.  

    I love the quote, thank you for sharing it :), I love quotes to meditate on when my head is filled with thoughts that are counter-productive...I will turn to the words you shared when black stormy thoughts invade my mind.

    I wish you a meaningful journey in blogging at SC.
