Open book with a stash of bookmarks
Sky of blue with a crimson hue
A winter day with a heated night
A warm meal with a cold drink
Written pages with an unfinished title
A story with an ending still waiting for the beginning
An emotion without a thought
A solution with a hidden mystery
Steady with surprises
Wild in peace
A laugh with a deeper meaning
Listening with a talking heart
A magnifying glass staring into nothing
Nothingness full of life
A full circle with an open maze
A word with an undefined definition
Am I story written or read
A mystery with a solve or a solved mystery
Am I the yin to my yang
Or am I looking for the yang to my yin
If life is my palette
Am I all the different colors
Or the piece being painted
If life is paradoxical
Where do we come up with certainty?
-Grace
Just some random authentic thoughts compiled into what you’d call “ a whole piece”. In a world of paradoxes, I call it a “piece of a puzzle”. 🙂

Great questions!! I really paused when I read this one: “Am I story written or read” I think part of being human is to grasp for the meaning in the duality of it all. You made me think again!! 😍🌹🙏

Really like how you flipped things around. This is cool: “Am I the yin to my yang / Or am I looking for the yang to my yin”. Great questions to end this with. A deeper meaning to your work, for certain!
