Room to spare

~ Tara R.

lake side and wide open skies

I can’t breathe. This room is closing in on me and claustrophobia keeps jabbing me with sharp sticks. I can’t fight back in this suffocating space.

The promise of the wind in my hair, the sun on my skin, the warm earth beneath my feet, keeps me yearning for freedom. I long for wide open spaces, room to stretch and run. I need room to turn over an idea, and chase a dream. I want to swim in an ocean of memories, and climb to the top of a mountain of possibilities.

Don’t shut me in. I need more room.

  2. “En plein air” is best for creating – to be outdoors – the vastness of sky makes creative possibilities infinite

  6. Your story speaks to me. I’ve been housebound for almost 90 days due to an accident. When I get outside, I’m like a child. I breathe in the fresh air and my eyes devour all of the nature that surrounds me. Thank you for your story. It’s breathtaking.
