At turkey trot

The path to oneself is more intricate than it seems and even more so when we are caught unawares. We think we know ourselves, but inside each of us dwells an "other" that we disqualify, a dark part that stalks us and pursues us at turkey trot.

A monster grows in front of my eyes, but it is not outside but inside my sphere. I need to assume my fears, it does not seem healthy to me to split myself in moments of anguish because each part of me has its space of action and its time of reaction.

My insecurities, my shadows, and even the scarce lights that I glimpse when I am paralyzed by anxiety are mine. Another part of me insists on presenting myself as clear, free of darkness and I myself know that I have so many.

I have lost myself and found myself, going around in labyrinthine circles. My inner light dispelled some shadows and cast others. I have to look out from my chiaroscuro, to discern, to forgive, to give thanks, and to move forward..

A trote de Pavo

El camino hacia uno mismo es mas intrincado de lo que parece y mas cuando nos toma desprevenidos. Creemos que nos conocemos, pero dentro de cada uno habita un "otro" que descalificamos, una parte oscura que nos acecha y nos persigue a trote de pavo.

Un monstruo crece frente a mis ojos, pero no es afuera sino dentro de mi esfera. Necesito asumir mis miedos, no me parece sano desdoblarme en momentos de angustia porque cada parte de uno tiene su espacio de acción y su tiempo de reacción.

Mis inseguridades, mis sombras y hasta las escasas luces que vislumbro cuando me paraliza la ansiedad son mías. Otra parte de mí se empeña en presentarme como clara, exenta de oscuridades y yo misma sé que tengo tantas.

Me he perdido y me he encontrado dando vueltas en círculos laberínticos. Mi luz interior disipó algunas sombras y proyectó otras. Me toca otear desde mi claroscuro, discernir, perdonar, dar gracias y avanzar...
