a beginning.

i've decided i'm going to start writing again
in hopes of making a clearer picture
of all the connections i run into daily
but, often fail at following through on their lineage.

this will help, i think.

for years now, i've felt as if i've been trudging through the desert.
sure, the desert is quite beautiful, but it can be rather lonely.
don't get me wrong:
i come upon these sweet butterflies.
they often choose my shoulders to land.
but more often then not, they are simply mirages
and as soon as the sun takes to its falling, they disappear.
thirst quenchers, i suppose.

on occasion i come across messages written in the sand.
reminding me that something awaits as soon as i reach the crossing.
so, i keep on walking.

i'm 33 now.
soon to be 34.
i have this gorgeous beam of light of a boy
who came to me here.
in fact, it's why i stay and continue the trek.
sure, an airplane may be the easiest form of travel out
but i'd miss out on all of these stones that remind me of my planet.

"visualize, jaime."
that's what sally says.
"visualize. your thoughts will form before you."

so, that is what i'll be doing in here.
in this space called blog.
i'll share with you what i see.
where i am.

you are welcome to follow.
