i'm out here tripping
on my own feet
no one to save me but me

Blog about the piece:
I'm definitely guilty of tripping on my own two feet every now and then, though for a while it started to become a reoccurring theme. I just kept tripping, falling, and digging myself into a bigger hole. Perspective is what saved me from myself -- a change in perspective. This change came from answering a simple question: If I were to envision my life, to make it all new and have in it everything I've always wanted and strived for, what would it look like? Half of my answers were things I already had, they just needed to be noticed in a new light. And the other half of my answers gave me hope. It's good to have a vision of what you want or what you would like your life to be like. One thing that I've been meaning to practice is waking up each morning and envisioning how I would like my life to be -- to see this vision as it was taking place in the moment, not months or even years from now. I'd see it and say this is what my life is like and I'd envision myself with a published book of canvases in my hands, back in Baltimore or on top of a mountain or maybe in that coffee house that I've been meaning to start. This practice helps in orienting my day; it reminds me that my baby steps have purpose behind them. And according to quantum physics, this kind of manifestation is going to help my consciousness bring around nothing but good. (wink, wink.)
