Recall:

Tonight I am driven to further developing the image I saw in my head (a metaphoric approach for a project in research phase):

Journal entry September 22, 2025 (“Potato Nose Diaries” Archive Project):

There is danger in hopelessness

 

My path is tangled with more fear than courage

More shame than pride

More rejections than acceptances

More declines than offers

More pain than ease

More overdrafts than coin

More startles than sleep.

 

There is danger in helplessness

 

The seeking of permission to exist 

Rather than head held high and just being.

 

This year. Oh this year.

More racing heart than heart beat

More too old than charmingly naïve

Too inexperienced than wise.

 

But…

there is light streaming through the trees

Look up! 

 

And there is medicine in the quiet of drawing, reading, writing, crying alone, laughing alone. In the cave.

 

Back to the possible…

 

To think

To stop

To breathe and…

Hope

 

Again.
