Broken - Leave The Pieces

"Oh Wind won't you sweep me up into the sky so I can get a better look at this life of mine?  Oh River won't you take me out into the sea so I can get a good look back at the land that grounds me?"
- Greg Laswell

Do you ever get the sensation that you're looking down upon your own life from an outside perspective?  Like you're floating above yourself watching your life play out with absolutely no say in what happens?  Completely disconnected from your own body?  And then suddenly you feel yourself snapped back into reality.  Now you have to fight like hell to fix the mess of a life you ended up with while your mind and soul were floating up in space.  Now you have to pick up all the broken pieces and put them back together, one by one.  The trouble is trying to figure out how all those pieces fit together - where they belong, or even if they belong at all.  Maybe the reason you broke in the first place was because there were some pieces that just didn't fit.  They off-set the delicate balance and sent everything crashing down.  So now you have to take control.  Take your time building yourself back up.  Choose the pieces carefully and don't force anything.  What's meant to be will be - that's destiny.  So let it guide you.  Don't resist.  Listen to your heart and listen to your soul.  It wil take time before you become completely whole again.  But when you are whole, this time it will be perfect.  No cracks, no gaps, no false appendages.  Smooth, solid, stable...you - each and every part of you working together as one unit, leading you through life with confidence, strength, and self-assurance.  All you have to do is pick up the pieces.

"I think you can't wait for someone else to fly underneath you and save your life.  I think you have to save yourself." - Meredith Grey
