Uniquely shaped ~
each life its own.
We are the sculptor, with
many teachers along the way
where we came from ~
prairie or mountain,
city or town,
farm or village,
poverty or abundance
who taught us how to be
grandparents, our parents,
uncles and aunts,
cousins and playmates
storekeepers and teachers
the lady in the post office or
the man who repaired cars
when we were able to learn,
at any time in our life’s path,
we choose from tools on display
to create our own unique lives.
“You may not control all the events that happen to you,
but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”
~ Maya Angelou
