I'm not sure where this lovely picture came from, so I'm sorry I can't credit it...It just sums up the wonderful thought of 'reverie' to me - Being lost in one's thoughts, alone but not lonely - At one with one's self.
I like to hope I've got there, after many years of wondering. I can get lost in my own world - Grief, bitterness, anger frustration and a long lack of forgiveness. All of these emotions can drag you down into a thick bog of treacly matter, until you are no longer able to see a way clear - You are quite firmly stuck! Unable to move forward, or on. Energies sucked from your body, like air from a balloon.
Gradually, once you 'get a grip' of yourself, after learning and grasping what these feelings can do to you, your body, these damaging sentiments can finally begin to moulder and drop away like long-dead leaves, leaving you free you to re-consider your bold, 'bad' self once more.
Who am I?
Who are you?
Do we dare to dream things might be different this year?
I think a spider just crept down the side of my face - Time to sprint from the sofa!

Hello! I stumbled over here from someone else's blog. What a beautiful picture and 'Alone without being lonely' is such a wonderful state. Hopefully 2011 will be filled with such reveries (preferably without the spider!)

You`re absolutely right about that negativity dragging you down - my Mother`s lived like that for years, she`ll be 80 on Friday! Thankfully, you can live and learn from your Mother`s mistakes! Love the new header - is it a self-portrait?lol
Lovely sentiment. I'm going to hold on to that - thank you.
Yes! Time to embrace all that I am and move forward!! My word for this year is "achieve"!! So I can't be having negative thoughts burying me..I need to be free to accomplish my goals!!
A spider on your face.....yikes!! Run girl, run!!

Letting go of grief, bitterness and anger is very hard - but, oh so, freeing!
Having a spider creep down the side of your face? Well, that just makes all introspective thoughts go flying out of your head due to the incredible *eek* factor.
Love the picture and the sentiment!!!! happy New year!
Thank you for this post. I agree that bitterness makes us bitter and a simple smile can do a miracle.
I would love to stay under your pink Umbrella:)
