realizing it was never sticky...

..seeing the light in my daughters eyes, knowing it was not ever OK to think this kind of treatment would be acceptable if her husband… or boyfriend.. was treating her like this…  knowing that the shoulders of women are wide…  we can take it on because.. we can … and we do .. and actually try and make it better… only 1 day realize it is totally not Ok to see where I had gone and what was left…  I needed to be whole.  through my daughters eyes..  I found strength of 10 women.  painful?…. yes, but worth it 100 times over.   

I believe that life is all about relationships….  that without interaction with others… brothers, sisters, friends, parents, lovers…..  without it we would be 'stuck' in our own fairy tale of masks.  Relationships force us to work through the real beliefs, thoughts, values, and  lessons we came into this world to work through.  When we hide from interaction with others - we die.  I choose life - unstuck….  staying free… seeking growth and openness.  Healing… laughing and all the more life will grace me with.  The risk is worth the … sometimes real pain… it is worth the double edge sword that sometimes comes with such extreme joys.  I choose to feel…… 6 years.. and then as simply as through my 1yr old daughters eyes… it was all so clear.
