I am an orange orangatan with black spots.
I am an owl in the trees, watching the world late at night.
I am ripe tomatoes in the garden.
I am the rushing ice blue water at Sahalie Falls .
I am tiny lavender flowers with little green leaves and perfect petals.
I am the white, fluffy Oregon clouds, and the purple and red streaked New Mexico sky at sunset.
I am that woman, standing by the road, cardboard sign in her hand, smiling as big as sunshine, waiting for a ride.
I am the dark one on the train, sitting in the corner, peering out the window late at night.
I am white falling snow, absorbing the screams of television, plunking footsteps and screeching cars, making the world sane again with her silence.
I am the jester who makes you laugh, and the Earth mother who holds you when you cry.
I am a mystery and I only feel at home when I'm traveling....
I am the wind in the trees, a child singing off-key, a girl in pigtails playing the guitar in the park.
I am the artistic, shy six year old sent to her room.
I am the A+ art student drawing in the closet.
I am the sunflower who was never allowed to open
Who had to go to Spain to blossom
France to find her scent
Brazil to enter fully into life.
I am: Queen Sheba, a brown rabbit hiding in the bushes, the Gold Star rising in the West.
I am a Saguaro cactus, arms wide open in the scorching Arizona desert.
I am a world without borders.
I am dancing and coconut
Chocolate and acai
Free jazz and Acid jazz
But not New Wave
Or New Age.
I am the Wonder Woman of my dreams
who can write novels and publish books
make ratatouille and smoke cigars
jump up high and land in the ocean.
I am sea foam and deep green seaweed
I am the aurora.
I am love riding on rainbows.
I am porpoises and sea anemonies.
I am frisky golden retrievers
and blue hummingbirds.
I am dancing, singing, running, playing, dreaming, eating, crying, breathing
I am!
And we are!
Invincible.

Poetic and beautiful! Its that paradox of how bold, yet shy we can be . . . how quiet yet loud. Very nice!
Some good images and thoughts in there. Very lyrical!
The books I would write
what empowering vision!!!!
I feel like I was looking into one of those toys we had as kids called a Viewfinder. Click and an image would appear, another click, another image and so on around the circle. Wonderful imagery!
