(Straight From The Heart – Bryan Adams)
Entrenched
Standing and fighting for the little patches of ground upon which she stood had become her instinctual default.
She didn’t know how to loosen her grip and trust any other process without a trusted partner’s help and guidance.
Internal Conflict
She needed him to reach for her, take her hands, and help awaken her from slumber.
Soul Connection
“For as much as we might yearn for this, we have been dissuaded by acculturation.”
Straight From The Heart
Sometimes it was as if he could read her mind and they shared a soul connection.
Astrological Dictates
“I find them fascinatimg, and they can act as guides, but I suspect that their underlying purpose is to give us a place to launch from as we grow and expand capacities into creating our own destinies.”
“Sun Drop”
Dragon Eyes
“A beloved has proposed that I might have magnetic energy.
If this is so, I would say that it is very selective to what my soul is seeking.
And luckily, my nature is honorable.
I think this keeps me out of trouble.”
(Time And Time Again – Bob Moses)
Right Timing
“What is this sense?
Is it decreed by fates?
Alligned by stars?
Or governed by our own instincts?”
Reset
“It takes awhile, and I wonder if it will come – but then alignment pulls me forward from my bed.”
“Wing Spirit”
“Wings”
Dragon’s Eye
Symbolism Of Stones
“I am drawn to crystals in their various forms, yet also sensitive to energies.
It doesn’t matter what one is supposed to represent if its vibe doesn’t feel right.”
Amber: Stone Of Universal Manifestation
Amber is said to assist in manifesting one’s desires and heightening intellectual abilities; clarity of thought and higher wisdom. It is known to bring the energies of balance, purification, protection, psychic shielding, healing, calmness, patience, romantic love, and sensuality.
Spun ‘Round
“I couldn’t have handled the upcoming week had I not given myself space – but the adrenal cortisol sudden hits now are more than I can take!”

Progress
“The pain in my legs is excriciatingly unbearable since I’ve begun the new physical therapy exercises.
However, since the work causes stuck muscles to spasm even tighter, there is hope that it is safer to begin differentiating the scar tissued fibers.”
“Pink Moonrise – Humpback Mother & Calf”
Vitality
“When I am with my youngest on an outing, I can come alive – sparkling effervescent in big smiles, laughter, and brightly joyous vibe.
We have both grown so much together, supporting each other’s individuality, that who I am authentically feels safe in public to confide.”
(Summer Days – Beatrice Dupont & Ron Rivers)
“Let It Slide” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, April 12, 2025
Wouldn’t it be wonderful
If it weren’t all downhill
From here as they say
Except if it gets easier?
On a day like today
When I am so tired
I wonder that I ever had
Energy that conquered
The blues and overcame
Despite hardship’s blame
Haven’t felt so exhausted
That I can ever remember
Like a soft blanket covering
Giving safety or strangling?
I guess I just need to sleep
But insomnia keeps peeked
The part of me looking out
For awaited homecomings
And if I knew what was enough
Well, I would try to give all of it
And if my chance got back its luck
Well then, I would have to go for it
But it’s just been kids and me
A mixture of human and furry
Maybe this is the quiet that comes
Before the next storm sets tumbling
Any sense of balance that I have
Thought I should keep acquiring

2025 vs. 1986
Dear Alex,
“My sleep would not calm and allow me rest this early morning until I created ‘Love’s Quarry.'”
“Love’s Quarry” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, April 11, 2025 Early AM
Dodging and weaving
In a dance of intention
Nose down to paths
Coming into focus
Like water defining
Crack-open fissures
Love draws onward
Alluring and sacred
Often fighting the
Urge to retreat to
Sheltered safely
Hallowed woods
Unwilling to yield
Scintilating quarry
Flushed out from
Hiding in tall reeds
Leaping into flight
As hearts bargain
Making promises
Granting freedom
