At The Gym
So far, it’s been for holding – and then regaining – ground. Advancements are transitive and relative.
It’s Ridiculous
I’m beginning to receive top rate care – yet still, I feel unhinged, agitated, and depressed.
“Blue Shining”

Hollywood
They promote “happiness” to help keep us dreaming. But what if more chances actually happened in reality?
“Respite”
Listen…
“Dripping Down”

It may look like I planned this, but I had touched the flower as I paused in watering, some petals fell, and then I captured a picture because the rose was so lovely. Sometimes, magic just happens!
Dear Alex,
In your not being “known,” I can ascribe any attributes I desire to you.
But I will try to discern the truth as I do.
Dear Alex,
Our lives take us into extremes where others would fear to dare follow.
Yet you and I at times each desire to experience the more simple things that others seem to take for granted.
We must also make sure to “set aside time” for these experiences.
Where Rest Is Found
I have supported in relationships through harsh challenges.
But as soon as I needed in return, I was spurned.
I am looking for symbiotic – not parasitic.
“Providence”

Zoom in…
Dear Alex,
Who would you be if you partnered with me?
I’m a mess – I confess! – but still worthy.
Morphing
Twenty-three and locked into a journey by a choice that silenced my voice, though I kept striving beyond restrictions.
Older now, at last allowed access to who I was before shutdown: something aching for profound transforming.
But a new set of dictates converges to charge – as if natural for me to march to such arbitrates!
Reflections in the mirror proclaim severe next level struggles to represent ideal integrities.
Who I was is returning, yet someone new is emerging.
It’s confusing when control teases as illusory!
They Arrive At The Gate
Movie Sinbad And The Eye Of The Tiger

Once Met
Soft as a kiss
Hard as steel
Nothing compares
To creation’s reveal
A nod of the head
Compassion feels
Still looping regret
Invading my mind
Because I could not
Convey at the time
Well enough then
To convince you.
(‘Til You Can’t – Brody Johnson)
Strange Days
When we moved to “the mountain,” we found ourselves feeling stranded, cut off from our usual activities, and stark-isolated.
Soon after, the rest of the world seemed to join us due to enforcements through the Pandemic.
I had worried that society would outpace us – but instead it slowed, which allowed us to catch up to bridge again with it.

Oh My Gosh, It’s So Cute!
“Look at da bay-bee!” (deep voice of “squee”)
“What Is It?”

Manifesting Destiny
With advancements in technology, we are now capable of making our dreams become realities.
Ren Faire
I gotta have my Sash Sass.
Beckoning
Oh thou most fragile sparks
Eager to bloom in twinkling
Come, be reassured by how
Together we’ll find meaning!
The Lone Warrior
She was grim and uncertain, with a type of gruff exterior – until she met with the younger ones who restored her life’s motivation.
(Brookside Hybrid 23 – Ott)
“As I call my self my own…”
Dear Alex,
It all makes sense to me now when I look at you.
The ideals I’ve striven for are within you, too.
Dear Alex,
I am not sure exactly what it is that you truly need.
But I know you value real friends more than sycophants.
Spirit Walkers
She had the ability to “enter into other worlds” – and to come back out again, shining.
Inner Sanctum
There is so much I must manage internally to avoid outward reactivity, that I marvel at others’ abilities to manifest externally.
I guess the trick is to gather momentum and to leap when wings unfurl again with ease.
Until then, I wrestle with overwhelming insecurity.
Treatises Of Desire
When we want something from someone, we must be careful to not become bound by their whims.
Illumination
I am drawn to “the heart of the matter,” where I can sometimes intuit “weakness” and help strengthen perseverance to expand beyond.
Dear Alex,
What could we do if we joined together our purpose?
What great adventures and creations could spark?
Dear Alex,
They flock because you imbue.
What’s inside of you lives in me, too.
The Source Of Love
In the Quest for Truth from the fires of loss and turmoil’s sacrifice, only One Flame beckons to which I’ll answer The Call gladly.
Rumi
According to Rūmī’s philosophy, life should be a journey to union with the one true God, which is achieved by practicing love—by disregarding oneself as an independent being and turning toward the truth of God’s oneness.

If this is so, then what is the point of “free will?”
Is this life then just a game where the only winning answer is “submission?”
Then why promise “self determination?”
The Hit
Life blows have a way of knocking a person down – and then down, again.
I know that the trick to survival is overcoming “the damage” and getting up again.
But I am struggling with “what this all means” to my courses of action.
And my confidence bubble is flacid!
Under Consideration
I had another dream where I asked again, and this time, I was permitted to begin demonstrating.
Of course, like in any sleeping dream, other factors vied and distracted for attention.
I was unable to impart complete understanding.
(I Know You’re Tired But Come, This Is The Way – Rumi Spiritual Music)
Concepts of God: 11:33AM
“The meaning of angel number 1133 is full of positive energy, good omens, and lashings of luck. This sequence can show up when your guardian angels want to let you know that exciting opportunities are heading your way. Seeing this number is a divine sign that a promising future sits ahead.”

(“Lashings” of good luck? Sounds about like what I have been experiencing!)

“Holy innoculation” vs. “demonic” parasitism…
Either way, religious “lessons” entreat that humans cannot defend ourselves from “evil manipulations” or “invasion” unless we ask “Holy Spirit” to “come into us.”
I prefer more of an external partnership “join-up,” rather than inhabitance.
” Free Will” and “all that!”
I need to champion my own purpose.

Transfer Of Motion
It is interesting that the first two weeks, though I have known of injuries, have been more about the body procdssing shock and sorting it out.
Now, apparently, come the next phases of difficulty in resultant restrictions and pain when attempting locomotion.
(Golden – Cannons – Harry Styles Cover)
Self Determination
I knew I was hurt worse than the emergency room staff had inspected in their haste to tend to others who had “obvious” emergencies that they could easily see and quantify.
When I walked and gravity pulled downward through my spine, there was laxity where once tensile elasticity had quardened off stacked groups of my vertebrae to carry their own proportional “weight” by absorbing and transferring movement pressure individually.
Mostly, I realized there was now too much sliding and grind-pinching in my lumbar-thoracic region – whereas the sudden light-headedness and nausea were not just from shock and swelling’s inflammation, but from my primal brain recognizing nerves were in danger!
Acknowleging the precariousness of my situation and lack of delving further interests from “those who should know” right after leaving the ER, I dug out my old black back brace and, as in the past, strapped it around my hips.
This pulled my core’s base in tighter to provide a more stable platform for my spine to perch upon in its wobblyness, as well as separated issues so that when I lifted legs forward and pushed through to back, this did not keep pulling the anterior right side of my spine into further injury..
For the impact had knocked out my back’s ability to reactivate its stabilizers, and the warning signals blaring through my nervous system had told me that disks were at risk from vertebrae suddenly sliding beyond normal range of motion.
By the time I arrived to my orthopedic sports specialist appointment two weeks later, the doctor was surprised to find that my alignment was not as bad as was usually expected.
From the day after the accident, with the aid of my brace, I had begun to gently and precisely focus upon reactivating those central core connections and had worked to bridge across disconnected synapses to begin restoring essential intracellular communication.
Still, he cautioned me that it takes at least 8-12 weeks for tendons and ligaments to begin restrengthening and retightening.
