Homecoming

My now father was looking up college options for me after our discussing how I could return to working for him.

(I won’t – for I am free now, and there is a “whole world” to explore!)

He does care aboit my happiness and knows how I value continuous learning.

I was surprised that he found a less expensive art degree program for me. I guess that he has learned what I enjoy and was trying to show me.

With the vexation from not being able to finish my enviro science degree and past dreams already expressed in missing my music peer connecting, Art, I suppose, was the other aspect not fully acknowledged in me.

The problem is that most of these degrees do not contain content that appeals or applies directly to my curiosity.

After a long-haul-month of networking to get my business noticed, my dreams reveal what my adrenals are saying.

I need decompression by artistic expression and a sense of connection with my family.

Snowflake

One perfect icicle star suspended between fine glass plates in a locket created a photo session in a packed classroom of college-aged students as I tried to capture it in light before it melted.

The professor agrieved “What has happened to my life? There is nothing to live for.” – which stirred compassion inside, wondering how I could help him.

As he approached to conviscate my camera, I scrolled hastily, worried how the photos had captured so many faces in the background.

As I began erasing some taken of the professor, there was one that drew me in and led me back into the past.

He was running down a parkside stairwell, calling out with distressed joy as his arms opened wide to embrace his dark-haired granddaughter who ran to him.

“Kifka! Kifka!” Eyes streaming tears as he hugged her tightly to him, overcome by emotion.

Soon after, a man joined me in viewing the dream of the professor giving him a sachel of toy cars as a child – and I realized that the little girl had had a blond-haired brother.

Impact

It is necessary after trauma to not know how fully one has been injured so that one can recover and not have initial shock overtake them.

I did not realize how damaging the horse accident I experienced over 22 years ago has been because there was no apparent injury to my limbs as I then staggared away from the scene.

However, the force from falling backward at goodly speed – and then smacking hard into micro-pebbled, barely-yielding sand – apparently ripped microtears throughout my core system.

Beginning to receive bodywork and recently taking a lymphatic breath workshop has been helping me realize that my ribs and internal organs are stuck where trying to compensate.

1994

In the old oak forest in the hills of Novato, I arrived with a friend and encountered another.

Pregnant for the first time and separated from my lover, I was confused, hurt, and angry – for I wanted no other.

As I and my companion sat down on bench, I confessed my vexation as if tugging on a wrench.

From a swing in the sunlight and in shade under trees, we glanced at the wares by creative imaginings.

At a higher-peaked booth I received the sending: “Be careful right now how you are thinking.”

At envisioned table, they were gathered and debating: a man was convicting, while a woman was advocating.

She gestured to me and my mind’s heart opened, pledging devotion to champion love once spoken

As they faded from view, I chose the pendant from two which represented birth of a new age from skew

I asked my friend for leave as I felt something coming, and when returned to parents home, I caught the phoned message.

As I drove to the hospital through cliff-winding mountains, a bright half moon beckoned while the stars danced in heavens.

I threw my soul into ensuring he would rise to win – and lost our first, my familiar, and the chance we would begin again.

Indicators

The men I have loved all came from some form of broken family that had dysfunction in it.

Is that it, then? Seek a partner who has had a good upbringing?

I came from many broken families – and yet, I still put the work into myself.

Is that it, then? Look for a partner who has put work into their self?

But then, how does one avoid a man’s getting too attached to his ego’s image?

How does one find a man of strong spine, yet who also enjoys mutual affection and lets his feelings show?

Without A Crown

Today at a carnival, I drew the card of The Queen, and I thought, “Where is my King?”

The lovely reader helped me understand that a queen does not seek, but greatness seeks her.

But, I am too restless to sit on a throne and be waited upon.

I carry greatness within me wherever I go – and good luck, I guess, to my King trying to find me.

I am out in tbe world helping people and chasing sunrayed moonbeams.

Difficulties

I have a hard time thinking that I am beautiful.

I know that I am: I have a fierce independence masked by fragile innocence.

An interesting combination over which I could chase my tail forever trying to reconcile.

I instinctively shed superimposed expectations to where I am surprised at times by my own candidness.

And I could spend a lifetime trying to understand this.

Trash Day

As I sorted through the items today, I wondered what causes me to still live like this.

It is startling to see how much trash accumulates from day-to-day functioning in transit.

I am usually going from one event to another in my car, drinking and eating along the way.

When I come home at night, I am too tired and it is too cold for me to want to sort anything.

So on trash day (if I did not miss it for the week, lol), I am out there digging through various bags to separate trash from recycling.

Do I need to judge against myself for this?

I sometimes feel as if I live like a gypsy.

Life Force

As she held the pendulum with her left hand, fingers poised downward, she centered it over her open upward right palm, leveled near her heart.

Making sure she was not moving the swinging point with her wrist, she became aware of the energy field pushing out from her chest.

Surprised at how well she could feel this, she began concentrating on intending the field to move in different directions.

After she brought to tool closer to where she could feel it was inside the field’s boundary, the crystal began to move in directions of her intention’s swirling.

Blue Dragon

They say she needs a new clutch and a whole new front suspension with new boot to replace the one ripped open, now exposing a tie rod.

They also say that she needs a new starter, a front light shakes loose, turning off (until I thump it) with and that rear oxygen sensor.

I laugh at how the odds keep stacking against me and reflect upon how we always succeed by luck’s whimmed magic.

Meanwhile, I am still paying for the refurbished head gaskets.
