the eyes of a child look through me - by blanca

With this Saturn in Leo affecting humanity, my perpetually serious attitude has changed quite a bit.

Saturn said: "You either lighten up or else..."

Always eager for something new, I've been following this 'command' and I must say... it works. I am unleashing the overwhelming imagination of my childhood. Sure, sometimes it gets me in trouble, but that is so much more rewarding than a dry life of hard cold reality.

The child is making her appearance everywhere: from my home decoration, my dance work, the way I interact with friends and loved ones, my taste for circus arts... The most amazing thing I'm feeling is this fearlessness I never experienced before. Who knew children are so fearless... I always looked down at them... I was never one myself!


Here's a recent inspiration of mine ~

dreaming, imperfect dreaming
caught in a life repeating
always just out of grasp
sacred visions of a light shared beyond

dreaming, the days pass through me
I've spent a lifetime scheming
all I had hoped to be
whispers lazy in a dream far away

witness, I am a witness
to the darkness and to the fire

gazing up at a single star
I dream of wings to take me higher

dreams, imperfect dreaming
touching just as they're leaving
always just out of grasp
sacred visions of a light shared beyond

looking up at a single star
I need your wings to take me higher

I'm dreaming
the world is dreaming
I heard the sound of millions breathing
cast into the night
we wait for the dark to turn to light

the eyes of a child look through me
they beg me to tell the story
of all that we can be
when we dare to live out our dreams
