Truth is the daughter of Time. ~Aulus Gellius

I used to long to dream in color

for I lived in a black and white world

all the edges of my day

 were cut like diamonds in a card board box

that had no cracks big enough

to let in the light

since then I have learned

 the art of living is a slow lesson

and sometimes what we learn

takes days that blend into years

to finally understand and truly see

to live you must be willing

to first face the truth

 then accept what is before you

and forgive what is in the past

it is a process of movement

letting go and moving on

brush strokes of beauty

do not come from still hands

most lessons are better learned

by doing

and no one else can do it for us
