The Swing

A piece of wood and some rope hanging from a tree in my yard. These two simple items create a simple swing. Yet, my swing is far from simple. It is a reconnection with my inner child and the boundless hope she possesses. When my feet finally touch the ground again my troubles seem lighter and I feel like I can change the world for the better or at least my little piece of it.

Who am I? I am a good girl and a wild child all rolled into one. I am a little bit of everyone whose life has touched mine. I have held and hold many roles and titles. I am educated by both life and by halls of advanced education. I am a dreamer of far-flung dreams and a practical person with a firm grasp on reality.
