What We Take For Granted (Written May 10, 1995)

The sand is warm and soft between her toes
The bright sun warm upon her upturned face
She has a secret which no one knows
And so smiles brightly into a darkened space

She begins to walk down the beach
She steps carefully following the sounds
Slowly her feet the water reach
Where upon the shore the wave pounds

The sun dances off the waves
That break and spray off the rocks
To be able to see beyond the caves
Beyond the stone that sunlight blocks

To see beyond what’s in her mind
Would clear for her the mystery
But the young child in blind
And the colours of the ocean she will never see

I have many different hats that I wear. Throughout my life I have been many different things: a small business owner, problem solver, mother, friend, sister, writer, designer, employee, manager, consultant, gamer, leader and many more buzz words that I can't think of. Many of these I still do, but some I have let go to focus more on the here and now. I like to share my experiences, ideas and funny things I run across. Ask me something and I will provide an honest and likely unfiltered opinion. I am still learning about life, myself, relationships, parenting and well everything else. I am not superwoman and don't really have my life together, but I manage and am willing to share my tips and learnings. Writing for me can be cathartic and sharing makes us not feel so alone in this crazy, mess of a world we currently inhabit.
