Simply Finding My Voice

My tall glass of lemon water sits on the table within easy reach. I grab my pen and journal. Simple. That is all I need. Today its all about me. I look out the window. I realize that everything I need to find the answer is contained inside of me. The things I observe, the plants in bloom, a friends smile or tears, the sound of the birds - these all trigger the next thought, the next words that will spill out onto the pages. Some I will share with the world, some I will not. I have the power to choose - a powerful feeling. Clarity is emerging out of the chaos as the rambling thoughts begin to take form. Ideas and thoughts that are trying to speak, only to me.

I sip my cool lemon water - I hear the birds - more words spill out onto the once blank journal pages. I smile because from somewhere deep within the words are resonating as my truth. This clarity is giving voice to the deluge of thoughts that were overwhelming me. The solution - it was there all along - I simply had to be still, to write, and find it.
