Of Curiosity and Boundaries

We push our boundaries, 

together reaching 

for those moments of undefined 

wonder and discovery, 

our endless curiosity propelling us 

farther and farther beyond 

what we could understand as 

the end, 

what we could understand 

as the limit, 

and our view of 

our world changes.

I meant to post this up for awhile! I went to see the Cirque Du Soleil show "Totem" on Sunday, and it was AMAZING. It explored the journey of humans -from the evolution to our hopes to fly-  in so many fascinating acts. As I was reading the program, they made many references to how we, as humans, are always changing and curious, and how we always want to go beyond what we had set as the boundaries (like wanting to fly). If you ever have the chance of seeing Totem, go see it.  

Uncertain

I wish I could 

offer you more 

certain answers,
something more than
"It's complicated,"

but I'm not even sure myself 

where we are, 

if we've made the step 

out of this 

no-man's land 

that could go either way;

with one foot on each side 

I wonder 

where I'm going, 

if I'm leaving or coming 

to one or the other, 

if I'm making the right choice 

to leave this place of uncertainty. 

So please, 

let me stay by your side 

until we can decide, 

together, 

where to go next.

I offer no explanation about this one. 

Photos

Because I'm totally uninspired, I decided to post some photos I took awhile ago at our family friends' cottage. Some of these were at the actual place, and some were taken at the surrounding islands.

Untitled 2

Another day spent 

casting my lines out 

into the depth of my mind, 

fishing for inspiration 

in the jumble of ideas and 

words and 

hoping to string together 

another poem. 

So here I am now, 

sitting with nothing to say, 

nothing to write, 

patiently waiting for 

something to bite.

Sigh. I have no inspiration to write anything. I've totally neglected my blogs (I'm sorry, readers of Puppetmaster!!!) and my writing. Whatever happened to the days I could just pluck out something and write??? Sigh... I guess I had just enough imagination to churn this out, but otherwise, I have nothing. 

Celebrating

Another year 

of life has passed by 

quietly, 

one more year 

of experiences and 

wisdom added 

to the memory box 

hidden within me. 

Smiling and laughing 

with loved ones 

we celebrate and 

hope for many more 

to come. 

I'm 14!!! I've survived the first year of being a teenager :D
