All By Myself

Mother
Daughter
Wife
Grandmother
Sister
Cousin
Friend
Co Worker
Neighbor
And the list goes on….

Although the order of this list may change from time to time we are familiar with the role they play in our lives.

Expectations of each have been taught to us or learned by our own experiences, by trial and error.

The path is set. Sometimes the path is overgrown with vines and prickers that hurt and tangle our journey. Without the proper tools we are trapped in the snare. We seem to go round and round repeatedly, tramping an isolated patch that is occupied by one’s self. You cry out, you stop and listen but hear no response. You wait to be rescued but realize you are truly alone, on your own and it’s up to you to find your way out.
