Who Am I? Just a woman falling madly, deeply, truly in love with life. A poet/writer having a wild affair with words. A person whose mission is to live from a place of joy, embracing all that's beautifully human about myself, and moving deeper into the EVOLUTION & the REVOLUTION of me. Still curious?

“HORRORSCOPE” & Musical Interlude

Baggage Claim + Evolution + Rhythm Section - No BackTalk

horoscope

*SIGH* I think I may need to get my eyes checked. ‘Cept…I just had them checked last month AND walked out with new ’scripts. Hmmm…well, then either I need to clearly clean all the “sleep” from my eyes before I try to read…OR…I need to stop sleeping with my contacts in. (Prolly both.)

Anywho…I was skimming through emails early this morning and came across THIS piece of “psuedo-spam” with the subject line “Are Past Life Romances Affecting You Today?”. Me and my icky-contact-wearing-crust-in-my-eye self read it as this: “Are Past Romances Affecting You Today?”.

Either way? I hope not.

See what I called it a “HORRORSCOPE”?

It’s only “Baggage” if you’re willing to carry it. Remember that, ‘K?

It’s only “Baggage” if YOU are willing to carry it.

Me?

I left it where it lay.

I moved on.

AND…

I let go.

*Sigh*

Enjoy the music…and the rest of your weekend!

Live DELICIOUSLY!

** This was actually written Saturday but um…see…what had happened was…my neighbor was fencing in her backyard & spliced MY cable line. Don’t. Ask. Please. Thank you. I’m actually “publishing” it from work (Shhhhh!) and now I’m scratching my head cause I can’t “see” the video & can’t remember what song it is. Oh wait - Adriana Evans, “Calling Me”. I wish I could *hear* that song right about now. *SIGH* **

Baggage Claim + Evolution + Wordstew - No BackTalk

strength training

we lay clothed in the tenderness of afterglow,
its edges tinged in vivid shades of passion
transcending the physical
enjoying the language of our silence.
“what’s your greatest fear?” he whispered in my ear.
the answer swam in slow circles in the tears filling my eyes
“are you afraid that i’m not strong enough to love you, all of you?”
my words died in my throat
i had no way to tell him…
my greatest fear…is
i’m not strong enough to let him

Short poem.

Well, “short” by my standards.

“Short” in terms of word count….but WAY long in terms of the story it tells.

So much I could say about that poem…not necessary from the POV of actually being in love with someone…but in simply being OPEN to however a relationship unfolds….

…in terms of knowing what your heart’s desire is for that relationship but not pulling, poking, tweaking, twisting or putting it through any gyrations - just letting it unfold - and accepting whatever it becomes…even if it becomes “nothing”…

*sigh*

Don’t mind me folks…I’m just doing a little “soul work”…a little “spiritual or soul excavation” so to speak. Emotional baggage claim.

It’s all good. Perhaps we shall talk about this later….we shall see….

Hope you enjoyed this helping of “Word Stew”.
