Scratching The Walls of My Heart
Monday, May 6, 2013 at 8:07AM As I scratch the walls of my heart
My purpose like paint peels off the walls
It gets under my nails
Collects in my hands
Sheds itself onto my body
Releases itself onto the world
So I keep scratching
I keep digging
I keep seeking and I keep finding
It is a splendid journey
One that I share with the world
I want you to hear me, to see me, to get me, to connect to me
To love me
So that you are inspired to scratch the walls of your own heart
And reap whatever you need
That is the gift I can give you
And just by taking it
You give back to me
Just what I need

Clint, you gave me the gift I needed most, even though I didn't want it at the time. You saved me, in countless ways. Let the scratching begin!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you KDC. In your reaching out, in your openness, in your reception of my gift, you gave me exactly what I needed. Please stay connected. Your support and feedback is precious. As are you.
