It takes a while for a man to mature – but then again, this is similar for a woman.

(Too Late For Love – Def Leppard)
9:37 PM
My body tells me it is days, weeks, and years past my bed time. Someday, maybe, rejuvenation will catch up with me.
(No Place – Rufus Du Sol)
“Visitation”

“Past Half Moon”

“Three Star Triangle”

“Dusk”

(Strike It Up – Black Box)
Aye-Yie-Yie
I feel like my days just roll into each other, one after another, without stop or rest as I am put to the test.
Familiarization
It is like training one’s psychology to accept something new and learning to flex so one can overcome past associative hurdles, as well as be able to expand into new frontiers.
But, how does one receive reassurance that new trust is reliable before and while time’s experience proves it is viable?
There needs to be inclusive communication.
(Next To Me – Rufus Du Sol)
What Remains Unseen
Being unloved within a relationship is ten times worse than being alone without a relationship.
I just wish that on this side of things, I could actually feel relief.
Oh, Well…
I think the chemicals in the bath tub plastic have been making me swell.
(Title of multiple meanings)
Grief
Sticky.
It’s so damn sticky.
Go ahead.
Give me a purgative.
It would be a relief to rid myself of it!
Ire
“Do not tell me what or how to think and believe – unless you intend to prove to me something different than what I have experienced, and that I, too, can be blessed to be Human.”
A Nullment
Caught in the crossfire
Ever between worlds,
I have chased dreams
Resulting in nothing.
Where does this leave me?
Ever seeking;
Ever believing
In clear improbabilities.
(Title play with words)
Tragedy
I tried, Lord.
You saw me reach.
I ripped open the veil and awoke.
But, he kept going…
And others interfered with the deer.
Then, they blamed him for being the one who slew.
He was Good – had done no wrong.
And all I could do was “see” when it was happening.
I was prevented from saving him.
I could only preserve and nourish the remnants.
Unmet
Needs and desires promised by birth to be fulfilled ache all the more to be fed and quenched when delayed and denied.
(I Don’t Wanna Leave – Rufus Du Sol)
Flex
Hostility towards compulsion.
“Bountiful!”

“Jubilation!”

The root-injured and shocked tree that I kept nursing with water through last year’s hot summer into the fall until the rains came and it could go dormant has survived – and has come back bursting full of life’s energy! WOOT!!!
“Juxtaposition Intersections”

Stopping outside the Starbucks, in front of me and to the right about 5 feet on the shaded sidewalk next to the busy street, two men with their backs to me were advertising JW. Then I went into the shop and came back out to find these tickets under my windshield wiper focusing on El Diableo and the paranormal. The placer had passed behind them advertising symbolic counterpoint to Jehovah’s Witness messaging! And when I parked outside my bank, these songs were playing next door at a restaurant’s outdoor patio dining: The Laat In Line by Dio; Heaven’s On Fire By Kiss; I Wanna Rock by Twisted Sister; Long Live Rock ‘N Roll by Rainbow; and Creatures Of Night by Kiss. Classic.
I Must Not Fear
Finding that I am hitting blocks in my ability to flex both emotionally and physically, I must seek new methods and supports to overcome my newly found insecurities.
(Always – Rufus Du Sol)
(Ethereal Techno Odyssey – Steve Senner)
Dragon Song: Spring Dreaming
A happy chur-humming thrummed in her mind connected to heart, senses, and spirit as she breathed in the fragrant deliciousness of violet petunias, miniature fuscia, pink-bespeckled dianthus, and four types of miniature tomato plant brushings of cherry red, gold, yellow pear drops, and chocolate warmly infusing the cab of her car.
(You Time – Scotty McCreery)
Wisdom
Being aware enough to know that one still has so much to learn.
The Fear Factor
When one thinks their capabilities might not be enough, self doubt can wrap around their ankles, slowing and tripping their efforts.
Caution
I tend to triangulate before committing to certain situations.
(The Wind – DSTRTD SGNL)
Reparations
Finding ways to heal by simplifying yet amplifying where one can gain ground is challenging.
Role Play
We pretend we are certain ways to emulate certain ideals and to gain approval.
Whether the approval must come from within or the external is a focal point with which we struggle.
Sad Reprieve
When I went back to retrieve my dragon from its hibernation on the mountainside, I checked inside the trailer home as my father requested to ensure it was ready for the new tenant.
To my sadness, I found one baby mouse, dead and dessicating, curled up alone in the emptied living room.
We had managed to save our family, but I had not been there to ensure its freedom from the bathroom sink pipeway’s ensured indoor captivity.
“Today’s Rescue”

I saw this lovely on the walking strip outside of a department store with no green, food, nor water in sight and gently fenagled it from its tight grip on the concrete. The sun is out, but the wind is icy chill. Not the best conditions for hatchlings nor parents. So I transported it to a spring paradise!
Hyde’s Bride: In A Desert Of Light
The impression she picked up from the lady bug was that it was gripping for dear life to the wrong plane of existence.
Its immobility told her that it had shut down.
In fact, she was not sure at first that it was alive until after much careful effort to get it onto a thin piece of bark resulted in her accidentally flipping it onto its back where she could see its legs briefly spastically wiggle.
Parched dehydration and a sense of desolate lack of hope seemed to pronounce its finality.
The surface expanse around it reflected bright white – likely blinding its visual reorientation senses.
Over time, she somehow coaxed it to grip onto the inside of her finger, mindful that she might have caused the wee struggler some unavoidable damage, and then gently curling her finger’s charge to be held lightly within open shelter near the palm of her hand.
In her delight upon finding it along her own lone journey while compassion for it flooded through her being, the goddess spirit then transported the mortal survivor carefully to a lush oasis where it could be gifted by another chance for life.
(Pepper – Death Cab For Cutie)
Time’s “Jinx”
Would that it had been you, Alex – that we had had real connection, across time’s distance.
Spoiler Alert: The Lake House “Wait Two Years” End Scene
Movie Pick: The Lake House, 2006
I haven’t seen the movie for years and had forgotten that the character’s name is Alex.
“New Moon And Stars”

The stars are so bright tonight, they can even be seen by my not-so-great-at-night phone camera! Zoom around a bit…
State Of Being
When you are or are becoming something, it is hard to qualify and quantify its value.
“What The Crow Sees”

(Sober – Tool)
When I’m Perfect
Will you love me then, for that brief moment, before you discard me because I am human again?
Psychology Of Pain
Whether or not one has in the past been a victim, if one’s nerves are being compressed and twisted longterm without relief, then a complex develops.
PT Analysis
How the backwards impact from the horse accident torqued my neck forward created compresion adhesions along left anterior cervical spine.
This caused a crimp just where the vagus and diaghram are innervated (= stress flares, blood pressure elevations, and breath constriction) and is the focal point of inflammation and migraines.
Bone Weary
As I witness another man choosing his mate for their youth and popularity, it is no wonder the demise of our society as the wise and mature are passed over.
