It’s not a catwalk but a life that makes me swing and sway first to left and then to right as if I can’t decide which part to use to gratify soul’s innate desires. See me there a model, please of inconsistencies that overemphasizes what should come naturally until I pause at centre stage. But there I’m stuck, you see, and must return the way I came because the way I was before like a tailor made outfit comfortable and known to be the way I’ve grown. But soul, yes, the soul not happy rips the dress and dons the model, me, in something foreign to the feel and brings within a squirm in place of that sway. But never can a squirm beget true happiness and so the model, me reaches behind the known and emerges like a butterfly free to be aligned with the dictates of the heart. Still today sometimes a sway followed always with a squirm but that’s the way it goes until the pause, reflect, ensures a different walk down the catwalk of life! Helen / 20 July 2008 |

I don't think we humans can help being set in our ways, that too comes naturally. Funny what sticks and where we get stuck.  Neat poem, Helen~ |

To leave the comfortable known behind is the premise to new wonderful discoveries on the catwalk of life. You always write your philosophical reflections so beautifully, dear Helen! Love and hugs. Margherita  |

"and so the model, me reaches behind the known and emerges like a butterfly free to be aligned with the dictates of the heart." Spoken from the vantage point of one who knows her strengths! |
