INCOMPATIBILITY |
most of us are incompatible with ourselves
most of us have conflicting needs
and we either feel the pulling
or shut part of us down
part of me identifies with a sophisticated, gracious, affluent lady
she’s the one who’s conscientiously created Rossgrove around me
who wears elegant outfits
who talks to the souls of objects, the old and crafted
who craves responsibility
to contribute beauty, balance, integrity, respect to the world
old-time values
another part of me is a fun, loud-laughing, simple-things girl
free to the bone
a dancing light, a swirling force
who needs nothing
who sees no constraints
affluent, too, but on the inside
a muse for freedom
not responsibility
incompatible, they pull
and I try to find a way to please them both
for I cannot be me
with one missing
I try to find a state of co-existing:
the lady on the outside, containing - in beautiful spaces, in clothes and art, in responsibility and action
the girl on the inside
safe to be free
to share with you life’s secret
to give it all meaning
yes life is the negotiation between forces pulling in different directions
who’s pulling you? ✨
