thanks anita, you always make me smile. there is something in this line that makes me laugh and appreciate my talents: “Shirley the Scientist takes on darkness, absolutely scientific.” It reminds me of how scientists work and analyze problems and work on better understanding the world and possibly shedding light on the things that are unknown. For me, I am working to come to terms with myself, to unveil the dark parts and bring them to the light, to analyze my problems and solve them. also most of my creativeness flows spontaneously, often when I’m on this site. This site helps me dwelve more into my inner spirit. To the inner bullies and the worldly critics, I say “As long as my mind thinks, you can take away all of who you think i am. but what you see and take away is not who i truly am. you can break everything that i have, but what’s left will be my soul with all its radiant grace. you can take away the coats of paint, but you cannot take away the freedom of myself to choose my life, my beliefs and the freedom for me to make my own path. so take what you want from me, but know that with every layer, you take away, the more you reveal my soul fire. for as long as my heart is beating, i will follow my heart and fly on my wings. you only attack the physical since you can’t see what’s on the inside, but when all the layers are peeled away, i am me and i am stronger at my soul.”
