Traveling South - With the Handbrake On!

Angela's entry closed the second leg of our journey
It's title, 'Mission Accomplished', screeches within my mind
What was accomplished?
As I was driving south
riding silence
my brain logging fears, doubts, and other dark typhoon thoughts
we passed through a mountain pass
and a dragon's back lurched to my left
scaly rock back
ripping through tree, dirt, stone

I didn't want to come back, return
to the daily grind of
'what's expected of me'
Again I met people who continue to inspire me
to live the dream
the vision
make the film, the documentary
write the story

Coming back meant change
for each of us
all of us

I sit in front of this computer screen
continuing to expand my editing skills
In the midst of the internal typhoon
I am encouraged
When I was a little girl
a teacher told me I could do anything - any thing

So, three girls in a car learn to make a documentary - long distance
