“Cherry Red”

Headstrong
The main type that I am is that I try hard while pushing at barriers to make things happen when they need to.
“Home” Again
Is happiness something we can always come home to? Or is it fleeting like clouds on the wind.
A Key To Success
Partners make room for and include each other in their lives.
From One Heart To Another
Hey.
You out there.
I love you.
Hidden Messages
I have survived by capitalizing upon words spoken and fashioning them into new meaning for my own mantras toward better beginnings.
Queen
I had not realized how much some of their songs have plugged into my heart and kept me soaring.
“Radio Ga Ga,” for example, has some amazing chords and harmonies.
“Someone still loves you…”
“The Jist Of It”
I keep thinking that I need to stay “grounded” although my wings keep aching to fly.
But when I commit, others do not to the same degree – and I have to ask myself, “Why?”
(Double meanings)
A New “Venue”
I love change, flow, and synergy – just trying to gain some security.
A baseline reliance would be nice – not asking for any greed or vice.
A “transport” that will take me places that I have yet explored – where I’ll meet people I have yet to adore.
Independence
As a woman born in the 70’s, I have experienced many rapid changes in societal perception of what a female’s role can and should be.
However, how I chose to proceed in my previous relationships was even more innovative by groundbreaking degrees.
It should not be surprising that I long to “settle down” and live a life more traditionally, given trends of disruption and tragedy.
However, what that actually looks like and means – to this, I still bring flexibility.
What dynamics are possible in good partnering where we best intertwine connection and individuality?

“I See Red”

Wildfire Smoke Over Harvest Full Moon
Ack!
A bug just flew directly into my ear!
Reconnected Biome (Video)
This evening on the new mountainside, in the garden while we were among our plants as watering, a raven croaked several times as flew overhead. Our first since we’ve been in local residence.
And then, youngling found a young, green grasshopper, a brown baby alligator lizard, and a small, gray, fuzzy and hopping delicate mouse shrew.
When we noticed a rose and hibiscus were getting munched, we found three large green grasshoppers – a praying mantis, too!
I gathered the mantis gently into my hand, hoping that it would not fly off. It began climbing up my arm – and posed while preening for the camera!
Anxiety
If I did not have to deal with constant life instabilities, would I have more confidence in my abilities?
Would I “believe” in this “reality?”
Or is confidence merely illusion reinforced by one’s competance, despite convolutions?
(Tissues – Yungblud)
Leaps Of Intention
It is difficult, but necessary, to move forward and extend one’s hand in confidence for networking when the path behind is crumbling and quickly encroaching – threatening to up-end.
On Standby
Even at the risk of missing an important call, I must allow myself to catch up on sleep.
Futility
Caught in another person’s nightmare,
Granted clemency only by a conviction,
The world kept increasing difficulty
In what was required to survive in it.
The Grind
Every day, the front desk had to be paid – whether rich, poor, or begging for more; snow, heat, fire, or rain.
Bots
She usually did not put lotion behind her ears, unless for some reason she felt there was some dryness.
On this day when she did, she felt something like a tiny crab scramble away from her fingertip toward her ear’s posterior crease insertion against her skull.
It eluded her touch and imbedded itself, now only detectable as a resistant scab she could feel barely lifting just under her fingernail – yet, not flaking off.
She had resisted its programming. No wonder she felt so tired and overloaded all of the time! Her immunity had kept fighting against its neuro-injection messaging.
Whether by instinct, design, or fate, she now realized why she had chosen her life’s vector of entering.
She had acquired just enough hardship exposuire while maturing while her consciousness kept getting manipulated to near wiping of her identity so that by the time the bots were set free on society she was used to auto- rebooting when glitching.
This explained why she could “see” where others could not through the fugue of confusion, for truth had been what she had practiced seeking.
With an unexpected rush of elation, she realized that she could now find a way to conscript the device to aid in restructuring her core thinking.

The Rebuttal
“Isn’t it better to be friends, first?”
(Radio Ga Ga – Queen)
Headache
It isn’t about what I want, what I am striving for, or what should happen.
Everything is being dictated by external circumstances.
Frustration
Places I have committed to are not generating revenue.
Special
Versatile, adaptable, responsive.
Ideology
Endurant love.
“Palici”

Another Place And Time
I like to think that he’s out thete, somewhere, thinking of me.
(The World Exploded Into Love – Bob Schneider)
“Goddess Revealed”

In the smokey haze from wildfires…
(Magic – The Cars, 1984)
This was the song, lol.
In The Air Tonight
Right before a certain song came on the outside loud speaker of a hamburger joint, I began singing it my mind – and then heard it!
Glee
It gives me great joy to share what I see in my photography – even if it seems silly. Getting to creatively play and share makes me happy.
“Monitor Lizard”

“Nekhbet”

See her vulture head facing right in upper mid right?
(In The Arms Of An Angel – Sarah McLachlan)
“Swaddled”

Second Time Around
It seems a shame and a waste of opportunity to me that by the time we learn anything really endurant, we are supposed to step down from our hard-earned life’s position.
Vomit Shoes (Jingle)
A beloved cat barfed onto my youngling’s shoes.
Sing along now:
“Vomit shoes, nothing to lose – I’ve got the blues from vomit shoes!”
(Show Me – San Holo)
“Undulate”

“The Face Of Eve”

“A Perfect Arrangement”

After Q-tips (TM) cascaded from a bag, and fell upon the floor.
Complex Love Affair
I never would have thought that being with him would prepare me for you, and all we can do.
(Title play with words…)
Do We Dare?
Do we dare to show in each moment how much we care?
Rise
To feel tbe winds of success now lift beneath my wings;
To know my faith in humanity will always be redeemed.
To touch the face of heaven I see held in my lover’s eyes:
To bid adieu to the night and great dawn’s sweet surprise.
Persnickety
There are some details that a bathroom mirror should not allow you to bear witness to.
(Mirthing)
