A concept in which intelligence configures new ways to overcome prior limitations.

Civility
I do not like when my kind and generous nature is taken advantage of by others.
Been There, Done That
I understood when I was caught up in the process, although I did not know how to change behaviors then.
I do not need to also experience similar scenarios from other perspectives.
(Ready To Run – Dixie Chicks)
“Aged Beauty”
I think the attraction for thirties-aged men to me is that I seem caring and approachable.
RAARGH!
(Jumping out with a wild look of claws showing and teeth grinning)
Descent
I thought that I felt bad after the accident, but as therapy “makes progress,” new levels of pain, inflammation, and nerve weakness reveal.
Stuck In A Rut
I try to turn adversity into opportunities.
“Kisses”

(When The World Is Running Down… – The Police)
Prizing Apart
Somewhere in all of this, there must be room for me.
The Shut Down
I don’t want to talk about it, anymore.
No more intakes, explanations, triangulations.
I’m just a creative looking for her sense of purpose.
Movie Pick: The Age Of Adaline
A Sense Of Pride
I had been proud that I was recovering my poise and smooth gait.
Summer’s sun was baking color back into my skin, honing me like the Grecian goddess I have been named after.
Fall comes now, and I am injured again, hobbling around like a fifties-year-old stereotype –
Cringing as winter will again soon enough set in.
Note To Self
Set the goal/level and stick up for it.
“Another Jellyfish!”

Zoom…
“It’s Official”

Fall 2023 has announced its arrival!
Life’s Source
When I eat raw fruit or vegetables, I will often place the seeds I find in a bowl(s) to dry for later.
I may never plant them, but gathering them makes me feel a sense of connected contentment.
Being “Other”
Not the usual recipe for “job security.”
The Full Commit
Being a parent is a lifetime investment.
Fragmented
Injury to hip and leg overshadows loosened reinforcement soft tissue zones.
Limited benefits all around pressure miracles of speedy recovering.
This last month has been just about overcoming the chop.
Barely now can I think about how I am doing and “where” I “should be” going.
If I Had Time
If not so engaged in just surviving, what would I explore and discover?
The philosophical tomes of ancestors?
Physics String Theory as it pertains to harmony?
I would write the script geared toward humanity, knowing it gives guidance to other intelligences.
How do I design my recovery so that my life is fulfilling, eclectically?
Diverted Paths
They did not want to see me strong and brave:
A clear mind, heart, and voice were insolence.
When I focused upon kind generosity,
I was treated as less than a door mat.
Continuum
How I identify and quantify stability is not the same as standard assessments.
I just need patterns of consistency interwoven throughout my life’s path(s) so I feel that I am making progress.
(Never Enough – Two Lanes)
“Star Claw”

Zoom in to see the star at top of finger.
(This Masquerade – George Benson, 1976)
“…It’s Sunday Evening Somewhere…”

(Half Of My Heart – John Mayer)
Devotion
I drove my blue dragon again today and got a very clear sense that I can only keep it temporarily.
It is supposed to move onward, without me.
Potential
52 for me is like waking up to find that (again) all we have been taught is lies, and that the universe has been here waiting for us to reach for and expand upon our innermost positive capabilities.
Bestraggled
I feel as if my life is a mess – although in some ways, it is quite orderly.
I’ve been disrupted so many times, I just get used to stepping up onto another platform.
Without handrails, as it is lifting away from stability.
Get me off of these things!
Making Friends
I am beginning to have lunch with new people I meet who seem to share some form of kinship.
Plight
At some point, ya gotta just nestle in again for the long haul.
“Snuffleupagus / Horton’s Who”

See the star plant with the speck of dust on it held at the top tip of his trunk?
Folding Inward
Ahh, the single life
In “always do well”
No matter efforts
Still becomes hell
When partners lie
And children leave –
The first – of a farce;
The second: destiny.
“Damaged Goods”
I am beginning to suspect that my leg and/or hip may have been fractured in the accident.
(Beams Of Light – Mammatus)
This band is fantastic on good speakers!
On My Own
Raising younglings is not easy.
(Fearless – Pink Floyd)
“Waiting For A Sign”
I know my own path – and will find it.
(Title play with words)
Out Of Touch
The promises given at start of relationship were not fulfilled, yet conscription wove insideous objectifications.
(Title play with words)
Both Sides
Ignorance is not bliss.
But knowing the truth is not always better.
Impatience
“Wait for iiiiiit…”
The Doldrums
What use are any of my efforts?
Cracked Shell
Lacking the energy
To break myself out:
Turmoil’s hell – though
Things are going well.
A punctured hole
Lets oxygen enter,
But the dried membrane
Resists flex of my efforts.
Empty Inside
It isn’t Empty Nest Syndrome, although to others, it might seem like it.
Rather, I’m fighting to overcome many incidents reinforcing self suppression in exchange for survival.
I have been listening for my soul’s inspiration to answer my call.
I can barely hear it at all.
Resistance
I have hit a wall that I am trying to scale or go around.
Much change has already happened and it is disorienting.
My track has been disrupted.
I guess I am at a new beginning.
But, it feels like I am just again trying to pick up scattered pieces.
Stamping Hooves
I am trying to “integrate,” but I do not trust the process.
Disconnection
What is causing me to feel unloved and uncherished – when clearly, I am being provided for?
