looking back to me.....

oh gosh,
i swear i can get so hung up in looking outside myself for answers.
you'd think after years and years and years and years and years
of trying to stop doing that, i'd stop.

once again i drag my gaze back away from others and inward to myself.

what i'm looking for is inside me.
that's where i have to look....and reach......and touch.....

one of the bone sighs keeps whispering inside me today -

'it wasn't that she found the magic -
it was that she became the magic.'

that's not just pretty words.......ya know?
i believe that's something for all of us to become.....
actually, i guess i believe we all already are......
but we forget cause we get so busy looking outside ourselves for
that very magic that we carry inside all the time.

once again i drag my gaze back away from others and inward to myself.

Those "magic" words are so much more than just pretty words. They are a way of living our days.
