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”.

Check It Out - “Beautiful Epiphanies”

Check it out.

“Monday Morning”.

Over at the “Love Better Camp”….an article by yours truly entitled Beautiful Epiphanies: Love’s Reparations in Action.

The Love Better Camp is run by my friend & fellow author/poet Linda Dominique Grosvenor. It is just one “brainchild” of many that was born in earnest effort to take her non-fiction work, “The Plural Thing: Spiritually Preparing for Your Soul Mate” to a deeper level.

Now you KNOW I believe in support - especially where my friends are concerned. Even deeper than that, I’m all about supporting anything that makes us better - individually AND collectively.

And you KNOW I’m a believer when it comes to love….that real, authentic, sticky, real-life LOVE. The kind that seeps down into your soul, that keeps you energized when life throws you a curve, the kind that challenges you to be the very best person you can be and to share that with the world, the kind that affirms your worth as a person and inspires you to dig even deeper. Yeah….you KNOW I support all that.

That’s what “The Plural Thing” is all about - how to get out of your own way, to heal yourself, to do the inner work that needs to be done so that you can give and receive the love you deserve.

To love better.

And who doesn’t want to experience THAT?

Stop by. Read the article. Leave your “footprints” in the comment box. Peruse the site. Check out the book. Stop by “The Plural Thing” social network on NING.

Be well. Be loved. BE love.
