Bad at Articulating

I am fully set in my new normal. I know what I believe and do not believe. I know what I am open to and what I am no longer convinced of. I am comfortable enough with it at this point that I feel like I can start to be honest about it, should someone bring up a topic where it is appropriate to share this. I feel like I have an idea of where I fit into the universe and pretty much everything else is just a guess that I am open to learning more about as I age. I am okay with not knowing things. I feel content in my new understanding. I am okay with having left other ideas, opinions and notions behind. 

That said, I am not the best at articulating these understandings and these changes in perspective. I feel like should the opportunity arise for me to have an open discussion and should I be up against someone who becomes hostile, I may not do a good job explaining myself in a way that they can understand me. I realize that should a conversation occur the other party would very likely not be open to my position and would become angry and defensive. It is this that keeps me from going there, even though in some respects I crave a conversation, to be able to express myself. 

So instead I do so through art.
