Misfit

“You are only free when you realize you belong no place—­you belong every place—­no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.”-Maya Angelou

Dear sister:

When you feel the discomfort
of not fitting in somewhere,
rejoice!

It means you have a shape.

Fires

~ musingsandmusic ~ Leave a comment

I vow
to spend my life
walking through fires
instead of
cowering from them.
I vow
to spread light
even when it means
I must
endure heat.

(written 2017 or 2018)

*Inspired by the Viktor Frankl quote, “what is to give light must endure burning.”
