A Poem By Angela Baca (2014)
Sometimes, the universe speeds up our lives
And forces us to get out of a rut.
We feel like we are running uphill
But we aren't wearing any shoes
And our feet are bleeding.
I am in one of those intervals of life.
This is a very creative time
Where you can make new lasting friendships
And make great strides in your career and hobbies
Reach for a paintbrush or start a journal
I have been writing more than ever
It just makes me know we are always full of life
We just have to dig deeper
And dare to be joyful.
Today, I don't have all the answers,
But for what it is worth,
We are always starting over again.
Consider how each day is really a new start,
We don't have to lock ourselves into any circumstances of today.
