The Strongest Man

Daddy Patience, Love, Strength, Wisdom, Care, Gentleness. You never had to say a word to tell me what these were. I felt them, knew them, experienced them first hand as I watched you make your way through life. Happy Birthday Daddy, even though I know you hate to be the center of attention. I need...

The Stories Others Tell

I have decided that I am in a learning flow these days. I am going to let go and let learn. See the grace in everything that happens to pass through my geography. I have always been a reading junkie. This place is a gold mine. I can i-tune-it and read and occasionally write something. Heaven. I am... Sign in to see full entry.

Oddly Not

At first, your unexpected presence foretold greater expression. Then, focusing on your absence became the way i avoided creating. Leaving expectation alone to find its way along the path to you.

Scary me

How do I write about the scary stuff, about what hurts? Having to give you up slow and painful, like a wrenching and screaming out of control.So afraid to let go, to never see you again.To go back to being alone in my head.

To believe in the good intentions of the worst actions. Who judges? Who makes up the rules? Who decides the acceptability of options? Can you make everyone happy at the expense of yourself? Duh. (did i just type duh?) Sometimes I am a bit snarky. For protection, so as not to reveal who I really am... Sign in to see full entry.

Paint

I need to go to the Art Store. It is pure and unaudulterated need. My fingertips must touch the canvases, fiddle with the brushes, pick up the colors. I have never been able to "order in bulk." A relationship must be established with the tools. Slow and intense must be the meandering, as much a part... Sign in to see full entry.
