Becoming the Opening — Original Abstract Painting

Becoming the Opening

The Way Forward

I am sitting with the strange feeling of building something I cannot yet see the way I see it in my mind.

There are so many moving pieces between where I am and where I know I am going.

I cannot control the timing.
I cannot control who says yes.
I cannot control what obstacle appears next.
I cannot control the path that gets me there.

But I can control what I do after the disappointment.

I can feel it.
I can cry.
I can break down.
I can have the moment where I wonder how in the world I am going to make this happen.

And then I can come back.

Because I have come back before.

I can look behind me and see all the things I once thought I couldn’t get through—and somehow, I did.

I am not starting from nothing.

I am standing on everything I have already survived, learned, created, built, and overcome.

Maybe the manifestation isn’t in figuring out every step before I take it.

Maybe it’s in trusting myself enough to take the next one.

To not let one disappointment become the story.
To not let fear become the frequency I live in.
To remember that my energy belongs in the possibility, not in the constant question of how.

I don’t need to know how it all comes together today.

I just need to keep moving.

You keep showing up.
You keep trying.
You keep hearing no.
You keep finding another door.
You keep coming back.

And somewhere along the way, the right yes finds you.

Maybe I don’t need to control how it happens.

Maybe I just need to trust that it will.
