Find A Way

What can I say about the concept of “Find A Way” other than . . .  I love it!  I was very inspired by Diana Nyad on an Oprah Super Soul Sunday interview a few years back.  Diana Nyad tried five times in 35 years to swim from Cuba to Florida.  She was doing this without a shark cage, in jellyfish infested waters, and against the odds.  Her dreams came true on September 2, 2013 when she completed the 103 mile swim in about 53 hours in the ocean, at the age of 64!  When Oprah asked her how she did it, Diana said she kept silently repeating her mantra, “Find A Way”.   This is a mantra I suspect I have used throughout my life, but so much more consciously now.  So here I am following my dreams and sharing my art and my poetry with you.  My painting and poem titled “Find A Way” is my attempt at encouraging hope of connection and peace for all people.  I hope you will enjoy this visual of the painting as well as the poem.  I hope you will always “Find A Way” to achieve your dreams too.  I’d love to hear about your dreams and how you are “finding your way”.  Oh, and I have to ask, have you looked up today?

FIND A WAY
What if we are
Unique and the same
Likely to share
Some kudos, some blame
What if we try
Harder each day
To come together,
To find a way.
