She said the head was too large,
the hooves too small.
I could clean my paintbrush
but I couldn’t get rid of that voice.
While they watched,
I crumpled him,
let his blue body stain my hand,
I cried when he hit the can.
She smiled. I could try again.
Maybe this is what I unfold in the dark,
deciding for the rest of my life,
that donkey was just the right size.

Each Friday, I choose one of your questions and do my best to offer guidance and support to help you along your journey.
This week I chose a question that we can all answer – it can apply to each of us. I would love if we could all look within our souls and find the answer. If you feel comfortable doing so, I would love for you to leave your answer below.

Each Friday, I usually choose one of your questions and do my best to offer guidance and support to help you along your journey.
But I had so much fun last week asking a question that I’m going to do it again! I would love if we could all look within our souls and find the answer. If you feel comfortable doing so, I would love for you to leave your answer below.
Here is this week’s question:
What is the best advice your soul has ever given to you?
