the big picture.

the big picture is always slightly out of focus.  i often find myself staring off into the future trying to make out what is in front of me.  a heavy haze settles begrudgingly in front of my eyes obscuring my vision.  the clear picture is always floating a little too far away.  having faith that i'm moving in the right direction, and doing all that i can is what pushes me forward and through the tough days.  i reach out in an attempt to catch my future, and my fingertips lightly brush something and i swear my dreams have materialized.  when anxiety waltzes into my life, i take a deep breath and slow things down.  i close my eyes.  i smile.  i inhale a fresh start.  when the heart is involved with each decision, and each step forward there is no possibility for error.  there is no wrong.  it's the beauty of falling in love with life.  it's the spectacular event of discovering a passion that drives you to get up in the mornings.  i have learned to love who i am, and also what i do.  i am the best i know how to be, and with each day work to be a little bit better.  i know that with dedication, time, and love my dreams will be nurtured into realities.  it's this internal faith, this undying devotion to expression that allows me to put my heart on the line.
