That's My Boyz

    Three years apart, but a million miles away from each other.
    The kid I see on top has a twinkle in his eye. A genuine smile. A lightness. A glow about him.
    All of which are missing in the kid below. His smile, if you can call it that, looks forced. His eyes have lost something. His physical weight mirrors an internal heaviness.
    I carry both inside of me. It’s my relationship with them that matters. The boy on top is the one I identify with when I am playful, light, fun, joyous, and silly. The boy on the bottom is the one I heal with. And when I do either, I’m helping the other one too. I’m integrating all of me into each moment.
    What matters most is the energy I bring to my present moment. When I bring an integrated self along with that energy, I am whole, I am powerful, I am more fully Myself.
    And I do dig that blue and white reindeer sweater.....
