Consussion Seizure

I had another one last night in the bathtub when trying to press out neck’s tension.

The first one was around Christmas 2020 after a whplash hard-fast crack into the back of my neck and head at an angle from the leaf end of our kitchen table when the chair slipped out from under me.

I had enough tension and must have pressed the perfect angle.

it is not fun, but very sureal, to feel the hindbrain kicking.

Poetic Musings

On The Mountain

Elders wanted her there
To kick around and criticize
In the guise of ensuring security.

Townspeople needed someone to fear
And cast their dispersions hatefully upon
That they could continue feeling righteous.

Tbe seasons welcomed and embraced her,
Coaxing her cells to bend and flow as the trees
Inevitably do to gravity as limbs reach for the sky.

Earth beckoned her to lay among moldering leaves
Releasing their sweet memories as she raked gatherings,
Beckoning life’s purpose to yield nourishment by becoming soil.

When you have a partner (a truely devoted one), all of these daily trials and overwhelms can become like background scenery of part of the day’s play: a mere backdrop to the real love story – which is life’s ultimate priority, and why I continue to often feel lonely.

Current trends in latest media, lecture, and book advice bombard us with messaging about how going solo is our ultimate destiny – Yes! Yes! – for only then are we fully actualized as individuals in this materialized state of being!

I call BULLSHIT on this ideoligy. There is merit within it to a point, but humans are family-oriented creatures. We need our loved ones to be a vital part of our dreams.

This Week

It is impossible to avoid retriggering when a child has been assaulted in their own home, in the area we left, and then I visit them as they are hastily light-packing and leaving their belongings behind them to move to another state and leave their belongings and the bad things behind them.

It is difficult being out in the alternating cold, sunshine, and rain in the environment that makes my face puffy and worn and my muscles ache while windswept hair rearranges visage into form of a mountain witch blending into the scenery, as I meet and greet people gaily in salt-of-the-eath, down-home interacting – dissolving my city slick identity while I bid fond farewells of goodbye.

Being back on the property in the wrong shoes, traversing over slickery-slanted mud waddles, worrying if gravity will slam me down again for the slightest minimalist yet effortful attempts to just make sure my parents’ property is ok and that I have my few remnants properly removed, finally.

The molding, thriving mildew on and in everything including in and outside of my car to various degrees; the tossing of empty tires to rid them of collected in-groove rain water and tree detritus – only to have upon ground-tossed impact that water spraying at force directly back into my eyes and face…what are the odds of that carefully callibrated angle hitting so perfectly?

Apparently, Ihave hidden talents I do not even imagine…

Miraculous maneuverings of collaborative creativity result in my car at last tied securely to a trailer for towing back to an implied, promised resurrection.

And this was only Tuesday!

Movie Pick: Falling In Love – Ending Scene (1984)

I do not like that love found was at the expense of their previous partners, but I appreciate the innocent honesty of their discovering, acknowledging, and honoring it.

The plot opens up viewers’ awareness that true love is real and important – but now, social media, dating apps, and marketing corporations have taken this concept and enslaved it toward promoting the brushing aside of any and all real self accountability.

Self-Forgiveness

What happened is that I returned to our prior home to retrieve my car, and when I returned to our current home, the dogs smelled our old one on me.

Now, they have returned to those previous misbehaviors – throwing aside since then respect for me – when I am exhausted and shoulder pain from a long week is now escalating into a migraine.

Yeah…

This combination is going to flare me.

The Lure

I have been trying to twease apart the reason – the underlying meaning – for why I had those two dreams which have led me in this direction.

Sure, they provided a better carrot more close to my desires than anything I had experienced on that level, before.

And of course, they gave me motivation and something to believe in when I had experienced too much loss and was undergoing severe pressures.

However, I could have had other dreams occur that may have stimulated my reignition to overcome more crushing circumstances.

It is just that these dreams spoke to the core of my soul’s questing for a specific kind of love.

And if it is not to be reciprocated, why show me exactly with whom to secure my heart’s attachment?
