Dearest,
Do you understand?
I want no other.

“Influences keep trying to pull, but I’m stuck on you like a fool who doesn’t know what’s good for them – except that I do.”
“What We Long To Say” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, January 27, 2026
I’m the one
Who’s goin’ to feed ya
And I’m the one
Who’s goin’ to please ya
Don’t even think a sec
To run away
I will find you
In the garden
In subtle breeze
My guidance haunts ya
Yeah I’m the one
Who doesn’t turn away
And when you look
Into the mirror
You can flip
To fear your finger
The time at last
Has come to seize our day
So when you’re ready
Come and find me
We can talk
Get to unwinding
All we need is love
To light our way

Boulevard Of Dreams
On the empty, paved lot next to the gas station and just before the freeway on-ramp, they paced with signs of longing and need, waiting…
She could sense their desperation and saw how that, too easily, they were willing to sell their selves short for just a glimpse – the briefest taste of any paradise.
But she just parked nearby with the engine kept running for a couple of minutes…
Then he turned and walked directly her way.
Illuminations
“Silence isn’t the problem…
I crave and need the connection.”
Free At Last
It’s nice on repeat with the music loop cycling ’round.
In My Mind’s Eye
“I gently entwine my arm through my love’s arm as we interlace fingers and I hug him close to my side and say to the world, ‘I’m going home to rest, now – and taking this lovely man with me.'”
Hmm…
“I honestly don’t know why I save things to play lists…it’s not like I can find them easily again…”
Plot Twist
“Last night, I tried pushing into the core impact point on my back at different angles where the car’s force went directly through it in 2023.
I cannot state well enough how this spot has been a point of extremely fragile contention.
For me to be brave enough to further explore and test unwinding it was a risk.
But my intestines unwound some for the first time in ‘forever,’ and strangely, my weak leg was stronger while my stronger leg got twisted up as if pulled taught by a cord!”
Worth Every Penny
“I tend to maximize benefits, even when there are no benefits, initially.
From this likely comes benefits.
Which is even more reason that I need a partner who will treat me right.”
Hon,
You know where to find me.
I need to cut back on staying out late.
I need to find time to rest.
You are invited.
Empty Batteries
“I think that I over extend my daily capacities.
Once I am able to get going, I don’t want to stop until it’s time to shut down.
But I’m not sure that this is a reboot plan.”
Dear Friend,
Do you think that two accommodators could find balance with each other?
(Fallen – Lauren Wood)
Silent Space
“I do not do well with being on the receiving side of silence or distance at length because these have too often represented avoidance from or abandonment by people that I have deeply cared about.
However, somehow by observation, experience, intuition or the combo, I managwd to assess the situation correctly over the weekend and gave my potential collaborators the quiet safe space that they needed in order to be able reset and come back to meet me halfway.
Quite an accomplishment for all of us, I think – given history of our own and collective past experiences!”
TeamWork
“We came together and got done what needed to be done – Huzzah!”
Frontside View
“I remember working at the laundry of the motel with a nearby view of Morro Bay Rock while I was camping out of my car.
It seemed idylic, in a way, and I soaked up the ‘freedom’ of it.
But there couldn’t be a futire in it…
Not when I had a youngling to care for, and a fiance dependent upon my earnings to qualify for our marriage being approved.”
(Euclid – Sleep Token)

Yep
“I’m upset about it…
But I can’t afford the emotional expenditure to allow myself to cavitate to it.”
Full Encircling
“That’s right…
My first recordings are from that summer living out of my car.
‘You’ve come a long way, Baby!’
Distance, not advancement…
Or maybe advancement is distance?
I mean, aren’t we all just trying to outrun the great maw of our own demise, anyway?
Maybe I’ve got a head start…”
Did I Mention?
“Yeah…
No…
I’ll be on my own again…
Be kind of funny if I end up living out of my car again.
At this point…who cares?”
(Lol)
Captain’s Lair
“Looking back on just the last six months at all of the ‘water’ that has been waded through, at least my room is at last put together the way I want it to be before we have to move.
It seems to go like this…
I guess it just takes a couple of years to find the rhythm of a new dwelling.”

Stress
“Life doesn’t have to be like this.
Why the f**k is it like this?

Too Close Without Comfort
“Watching the older gentleman backing up and going forward in his hot rot medical chair while letting his little dog sniff bushes outside on the street, I recognized him from when we were living out of the hotel before the car accident.
Too close to similar scenario – but this time with no ability to work hard to pay those daily high rates – has me not wanting to talk too much about the hysteria clamoring inside of me.
I would much rather be conversing with my love about passion and its charms.”
“I Dream”
When You Love Someone
“You become the happiest you’ve ever been.
And then, do you know what you get?
You get wings – and then you can fly.”
