I entered my first term at Goddard to study Transformative Language Arts and get certified in Poetry/Journal Therapy. Five years ago this month I gave myself five years to "finish" this journey, to be the person I was meant to be, to sell my house and delve in the healing power of the spoken word. I didn't finish Goddard, certification, or a poem a day. My blog posts in 2007 were so hopeful, so positive, so certain, so clear, but again, life got in the way of my ideals. This March, I will know if I can continue my journey in with the transformative power of words - if I can begin again. Paulo Freire said once "...to begin always anew, to reconstruct, and to not spoil, to refuse to bureaucratize the mind, to understand and to live life as a process--live to become..." to do all that is what? Is courage? Is Transfiguration? Is living life? Is human?
Big sigh! Today I begin again.
