Welcome Home

As I brought the heavy shelving into my room with the two drawers full of crystals and miscellaneous importance, I happened upon the musical mechanism that used to be held underneath the lying down white pegasus statue.

It used to belong to my mother, but she had given it to me in my teens

The porcelain had finally broken around when my marriage did, and rather than continue carrying around fragments of broken leg, body, and head (a remindercogvbroken memories), I had saved the music.

Just now, I wound it, and though it played extremely slow, as the first notes struck I had to smile.

All this time in the background of my life, the song “To Dream The Impossible Dreams has been playing.

It has been with me like a friend,, ever reminding my spirit to keep striving.

Preventions

Like wild animals, humans have needs that need – despite their being denied.

In such situations, I attempt to meld with my passions, to dance with them and give them consolation.

As I do this and don each one’s attributes and depravities, I learn more about being human – and about how we are capable or incapable.

I learn about our strengths and weaknesses.

And I walk the line between them.

Soul-Starved

I just saw a ritzed-up older woman driving by in front of me, unsure of where she was going, and felt something in me snarl at her for taking so long to get out of my way with her cushioned status.

Why? I wondered. This isn’t like me…

But, apparently, the feral part of me just having dropped off things to the Goodwill (and now reflecting upon such hardships experienced here) has just “Had It!” with feeling entrenched in poverty.

It’s only when you can finally leave a bad situation that you realize how toxic it’s been.
