Foundation

“...we achieve true wholeness by embracing our fragility...” Jalaja Bonheim i had no script no actors no stage instead let me direct this life my life stage the words add a subtle dramatic tone with fragility once the foundation is built i'll work on emotional recall work in the layers does it sing does it dance does it make you think does it make you feel you can design the most beautiful building in the world but with no structure it will not stand for this one i start with the word "I" yup that’s a keeper next go out on a limb "Love" it can't be all about me so i finish with "You" yes you ‘what happens when you open your heart?, your inner strength becomes an outer foundation.’

OH WOW, ARmand. I LOVE THIS!!! Was listening to your voice and wondering what was this big poem you were building the foundation for. Got to the end, and the ending was simply I love you. Simple yet so human. That is how you are. And also you can write complicated and do it SO WELL. a huge FAVE for me!!!!
