Don’t scare me

This love affair we have that never will complete

Who do I believe in when the drugs took you from my world

When we left you behind

I felt so lost

So lonely

All I knew was drink and escape

Picking up another stranger at the bar

Don’t scare me at all

This love affair complete

The open road is lonely

don’t scare me at all

Big dogs barking down the hall

Night wind howling

Don’t scare me at all

When you memories and your life are moving ahead of you

Life don’t scare me at all

Used to

Used to be a collector

Now a minimalist

Used to be part of organized religion

Now a prayer warrior

Used to eat beef

Now I’m a vegetarian

Used to be a bigot

Now I’m a human

Used to be married

Now I’m single

Used to only care for myself

Now I’m a mom

Used to care for cigarettes

Now I don’t smoke

Used to count sheep

Now I count my lovers

Wonder what will happen in the future?

Pleasure 

I have spent large chunks of my life surrounded by wonderful loving circumstances that I failed to appreciate.  Reasons to be happy were everywhere, but somehow I couldn’t or wouldn’t connect with them. I feel gratitude and worship in my daily life and feel joy in very simple pleasure.  In fact I have learned to give myself license to be to have and experience pleasure. 

I’m not sure if it my age or simply my reaction to being hurt. But I find connections 

 is the only reasonable respond to being hurt. To reach out to be vulnerable to risk being hurt again to love again without reservations. 

I am free to totally love.

Snowing

A pink orange glow why is it I love weather and life so much?

Want to grab it and hold on so tight and never let it go. 

To live fully in this and every moment. 

Here I am again so eternally grateful for this life flowing through me now.

It’s like Christmas evenings of long ago and far away but not forgotten. 

Light is so very important to me and music. 

What song track would you have playing to the story of your life?

Sag

The mountain won’t come to you. It will not acquire the supernatural power to drag itself over to where you are. Bend it’s craggy peak down to your level and give you a free ride as it returns to its erect position. So what will you do? Moan and wail in frustration? Retreat into a knot of helpless indignation and sadness?

Please don’t instead stop hoping for the mountain to do the impossible . Set off on a journey to the remote majestic pinnacle with a fierce song in your determined heart. Pace yourself ! Doggedly master the art of slow incremental magic.
