“Nestled”




A song by Stephen Stills that is so powerfully beautiful in its manifestation of the sense of love, yet its overall message promotes infidelity.
The more I become my true self,
The harder it will be to match up.
Therefore, I can pursue love
But must sacrifice freedom
Or I can close off to my need
And become highly dynamic.
(Crossroad belief conflict)
Honestly, it hurts.
I can perceive so much and yet feel the vast emptiness.
There is no answering call.
No conversations to fill and grow my mind.
I am starved.
Not desperate – although the hunger could drive me to be.
Just craving.
Needing.
Wanting.
That right kind of interaction that satisfies.
Yearning.
I fear that the more I continue developing my unique personality, the harder it will be for me to find a good partner because I am ever evolving and desire this mutually in relationship.
It does not matter how he feels about me:
He made sure to not think of possibilities.
It is amazing how much negative messaging we have been fed to persuade our feeling bad about wanting to have and experience real connection.
I am withdrawing from the dating sites because A) I do not like getting locked into paying for a service that does not guarantee results nor quality, and B) I am not a person who is part of the mainstream’s common reality.
The few men that I have desired and loved have been less than fulfilling relationships for me.
I valued the quality of their individuality, did not select for flexibility, and was denied nourishment.
Online dating is not my group of peeps.
It’s ever how I roll, but
With love’s homebase.

Can you see the shadow of my head with wisps of my drawn back hair being blown by the strong, hot summer breeze?
“… a genus of American perennial herbs (family Nyctaginaceae) having a tubular-campanulate brightly colored calyx subtended by an involucre that resembles a …”
I prefer to dabble among dew drops and
Alight upon flowers like the butterflies –
But I can be a powerful storm
If forced to deal with idiocy.
Open and honest communication, passion for embracing life complexities, and affectionate bonding are things I am into. Monogamy is my default setting: looking for like-minded unicorn. I play lap drums, art out a bit, photograph cloud creatures, and write poetic musings. Healer class.

Zoom in.

Of Nature’s spiraling: spiral mirabilis.
I have not agreed with the belief that bad things need to happen to people in order for them to learn.
I have always been open to learning, and bad things happening have not enhanced my life in any way, shape, or form.
Therefore, the only conclusion I can make about my path having been full of bad things is that I must have been taking a short cut through the brambles to get here.
My intuition must have had a very good reason.
“She’s a Dime,” means “She’s ‘A Perfect Ten.'”
A compliment given to me once several lifetimes ago.
But unfortunately, another saying goes, “A dime a dozen.”

Survival fatigue.
I wanted my ex-husband to be happy.
I gave everything I could to help him overcome his/our difficulties, but he wasn’t.
Then in a dream last night, he called me on the phone to come over and meet his new, younger girlfriend (dream, not reality).
His elation and captivation with her emanated through the airways with such purity that his feelings were infectious.
I could feel my spirit expanding with love at the fact that my dearest wish was coming true – my once-beloved was at last experiencing supreme, unfettered joy and was sharing it with me.
But wait.
Record scratch.
It was technically at my expense.
He was discarding me.
Trading me.
In self defense, I began yelling.
I was then pulled into that situation and made to experience their perfect bond sensorily, so I began fighting back, emotionally.
And the corruption of that perfect moment for them caused her to go away and destroyed what they had briefly gained.
And now we were all left with nothing.
For he still did not want me.
And I was still hurt and angry.
Well then, “F*** It.”
Let them be happy.
My hair’s true color begins to come through again as with every shampoo the dye washes free by degrees.
I only use temporary because my many phases need freedom of their turns as a part of my reemerging.
“The number 1144 meaning combines stability, prosperity, love, freedom and the ability to trust yourself.”
I get a day off at a woman’s retreat!

My new buddy.

It is nice being in a community where I am appreciated.
Can be seen as foolish.
There is something about that
First sense of living’s potential
That lets bones settle into resting
Instead of feeling the wind rattle.
I walk alone with
Friends beside me.




Taking time to apply a seat cover, and half of it falls into the toilet bowl.
(Deadpan – near literally, lol!)
Rather than arguing with others
About the way I genuinely feel,
I share my truth in a moment –
Then leave without a kneel.
Passion and desire for life
Must not be denied in self
Despite external rejection –
Therefore, apply this wisely
Toward nurturing abilities
You can share honestly.
She wanted to love
And to be loved.
