Reinvention BY TARA SOPHIA MOHR
There is always the possibility of reinvention sometimes born of longing sometimes offered faintly , like birdsong in your ear sometimes — born of pain . Life is long for a reason . So that every chapter swells with a new chapter of us , so there is time to change the meaning of your name to everyone around you , and especially to you . When the name that once meant tired girl comes to mean she who rose again , – then art begins . I met a woman whose house burned down and in the ashes she found the blaze of her self . Now it roars still angry , sometimes uncontrolled , always a blinding light . If you see her on the street , bow to her courage . Stare back into her flickering animal eyes , and know , she is fighting a fight . __________________________________________________ Tara Mohr is the author of Playing Big .
