Paradox…

~*~

~*~

Words string together in my mind like the rushing river….

Lost in the current of thought…

Gone too fast to contemplate…

Hope…excitement…longing…anticipation…

Distraction….

Delusion…

Disquiet….

Paradox…

Hope and Fear cannot live together…

So many words…

So many questions…

So many …too many…

Confusion….

Your sweet voice in my ears like a warm summer breeze…

Soothing…tempting…beckoning…

Delicious distraction…

A dream hidden in reality…

Another paradox…

Dissipating disquiet…

Breathe….just…breathe…

  1. the beauty of the human self lies in the ease by which it sources so many contradicting feels – anger-peace, love-hate, frustration-calmness etc etc.

    That’s why – we are the God’s best creation !

    Honest post !

  4. Ahhh yes – the ‘paradox’ — I remember when I learned that ‘hope and fear cannot live together’ — an amazing epiphany it was. So it seems that if we encourage and allow hope to take the lead — the fear has no other choice but to dissipate!! Your work is just expanding Christina – on many levels. Your ‘reconstruction’ project is flourishing my friend. Loved this poem, and know there are wonderful things waiting in your future. Just breathe for now – as that breath is the conduit that will lead to the clarity you seek. Much Love ~ and appreciation for all you are, xo Robyn

      • It’s funny but when I write to you – it seems so much like I know you a very long time… and maybe like a little sister or something –:) I am often half asleep still, and then I need to re-read — what did I say?? But usually it’s straight from my heart-uncensored and just right for what I was wanting to express to you. Yes — I will take my advice with you and breathe while I wait for that clarity too… We will get there !! xxoo Much Love
