Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, you must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life.

“Good lord, evolution, what is that?”

“It’s a flannel moth caterpillar I just finished. Funny little guy, huh?”

“It’s sort of… terrifying.”

“What? Nah. Look, it’s mostly hair. Pretty irritating, maybe, but there’s not much room for brains under there. It can’t actually do anything.”

“Okay, if you say so. But then where are you going to put it? Like, what is its ecological niche going to be?”

“Oh, I don’t know. Do I have to think of everything? I mean, I guess it could run for president of the United States.”

the ferret twins, us brothers two

we don’t do things most ferrets do

i am a painter, bold and proud

my strokes precise, my colors loud

i illustrate for ferretkind

with shades and hues both intertwined

i am a pilot, in command

traversing both the sea and land

the great expanse i must transgress

with aeronautical finesse

Write what disturbs you, what you fear, what you have not been willing to speak about. Be willing to be split open.

Sometimes two roads come together in perfect synchronicity. There can always be balance between the old and new.
