selectively permeable membrane – A membrane that allows the passage of only certain substances, selected on the basis of the size and usefulness of molecules. (According to encyclopedia.com)

Not Selectively Permeable – closer to Completely Permeable – that was more my constitution for many of my younger years. Boundaries? hmmm….doesn’t ring a bell…absorbent, spongelike and porous was more my M.O. Attitudes, opinions, anger, fear, irrational behavior, addictions, natural disasters and unnatural disasters happening both half way around the world and in my back yard but usually completely not my own- all had the ability at any given moment to blast through my pathetic first defense line and completely run am0k through my entire being. My lack of selectability, caused me to appear as quite a “fragile” girl, and at times an utter train wreck. Appearances can be quite deceiving though, even to oneself. I never felt particularly fragile, just knew I was extremely sensitive to the world around me, and often had difficulty seeing where you ended and where I began.

Times have changed though (Can I hear a Hallelujah!) – amazing what twenty years can do, and I have worked with much diligence to remember to honor and respect myself on a daily basis. Have gotten a lot better at drawing clearer, bolder, cleaner lines between me and my surroundings and am much better for it. Also learning to take things that come up less personally, with a loving detachment, which has proven to be a very strong tool to get through some days with. I’ve come to the conclusion (so glad I am realizing this now rather than years from now), that it is all one big lesson. Be a duck (let it roll off your back, remember?) Let it go…take what you can from it…move on….it is all good….it really is you know…think on it…feel it…

Someone’s brilliant and inspired exhibition at the 2009 Rose Bowl Parade -
Leonardo Da Vinci – one of the greatest dreamers of all time.

If there were even one bright light amidst a pitch black night
it would have the ability to radiate for miles with the potency to illuminate a multitude of pathways.

Don’t terminate your dreams. Please don’t stuff them away. Don’t think any of the seemingly insignificant or ridiculous notions that swim around or marinate in your brain, keeping you up nights, sending your heart soaring and swooning, propelling blissful shock waves through your soul, butterflies in your stomach – for weeks, months, maybe even years – is inconsequential.
You might feel if you brought it out to the world that it wouldn’t matter, or wouldn’t make a difference. After all, who is going to want to hear your idea, listen to your song, read your novel, taste your fabulous spaghetti sauce, utilize your new and improved mouse trap…

We have all been given very special and unique gifts in this lifetime, and although we may gratefully accept these gifts, we truly are only doing half of our job as receivers if we don’t share with others what it is we have received. That ‘s just how it is. You need to take all of those plans you socked away on scraps of paper and pull them out of your junk drawer, collect all the sheet music you had given up a long time ago on, gather up that manuscript that has been rejected what – at least once if not twenty times…just splash your face, brush your teeth, slap a smile on and commit to getting it out into the light. Because this is what you were meant to do – maybe one of the many things you were meant to do – all of those dreams you let go by the way side because of that little voice inside your head (or some of the voices outside of your head) telling you it wasn’t a good enough idea, people might laugh, its been done before, you’ll fail miserably, why don’t you get a real job, what are you crazy?

WELL YOU KNOW WHAT? la la la la la la la la….I can’t hear you…la la la la la …did you say something because I CAN’T HEAR YOU….

NO MORE. You MUST bring it out, because not only were these Divine gifts meant to enchant You, inspire You, teach You, Delight You…they were also intended for all of us as well. And that’s what we do, we share.
