An open wound may be sealed by cauterization, leaving the skin seared and aching where love’s lifeblood once flowed.
Exacerbation
Whether in the same home, from across the country, or on the other side of oceans, my partnerships with men have been long distance.
Misread Signs
Rather than “Psychic,” at a glance I thought it said, “Psycho Tarot Readings.”
(Castor – Daft Punk, Tron Legacy)
Possibilities
If you are told that you are beautiful, and given to tools and reinforcement to be beautiful, then even if it was not true before, you can become bold and beautiful. At what point does fantasy crossover into such reality?
(The Lighter Touch – Heart)
Full Circle (Move Along – All American Rejects)
Ten years ago…finally, we have a home, again.
(Purple Snowflakes – John Legend)
“New Horizons”

After almost four months, we have a home!

Between You, Me, And “He”
I believe it may be that “God” creates and assists opportunities, but that it is humanity that ensures they become our realities.
Stargazing (Crazy Love – Poco)
Vigil
The night before our new dawn.
Begin Again
It took a while to find them, once the journey came to end. But dreams are like old lovers who with time become good friends.
Adjustments
A man can no longer mean to me as much as he has if he has not reciprocated my affections.
(Sunroof – Nicky Youre, Dazy)
Help! – LOL
I am so paladin!
(Let Go – Beau Young Prince)
Efforts
They do not seem to be enough.
But maybe, this time, they will be.

On Our Own Terms
Figuring out a way to secure our new home, without relying on government assistance, is a challenge and proof that we intend to move beyond poverty.
(The One That Got Away – Katy Perry)
Community
We need each other.
There is just no way around it.
People who need government aid are no less worthy than business people who need client patronage.
None of us can exist in today’s societies without the help of our neighbor – whether near or far – except for a few hardcore isolationists.
And they need nature’s providence.
Gliding
I dreamed that I was running effortlessly with no pain in my body, breathing deep and effectively, legs’ pace matching the ease in propulsion of motorcycles and cars streaming by, as I and my hound wove dirt pathways leading to and paralleling the rejuvenating river waters.
Where The Angels Play
I feel them when they bring the healing snow – and on a summer’s day, when they chase the clouds away.

“A Wrinkle In Time”
Today’s Definition: The right side muscles over lateral lower ribs creating a lean rippling effect when you contract them that lets you know your workout is at last turning a positive corner.

(If You Could Only See – Tonic)
Here And There
My life has been like a sampler plate of experiences.
I could dip my toe into the waters of situations – but jumping into them has rarely seemed right, and many did not seem to have sustainability built into them.
Therefore, I have often kept my commitments light and flexible – at first testing if opportunities are functional.
Re-Joycing In Silence (Fountain – Iamwhoiam)
(Then Came You – Dionne Warwick And The Spinners)
A Place To Call Home
We will likely put the chain link portable fence panels around the deck, which is outside of the dining room, so that we can let the cats out to enjoy the air – but not let them get into trouble.
We will need to put a cover over the top of it.
The den is spacious with a fireplace, and is likely where we will place the couch and cat tree. I am thinking of having the upholsterer encase the couch in plastic sheeting so that we can see the pattern, yet keep it clean.
“Squeeky-squeeky,” says the couch upon sitting.
The den being attached to the dining area and wide-open kitchen will make a comfortable social activity area. And the garage is the perfect place to attempt to reseal the kitchen table’s surface for continued longevity.

Authenticity
Aloof and mysterious might be fun in silly games, but the heart requires more to ignite its sacred flames.
Sanctuary
She longed for a cave that she could call their own with floors easily cleanable and a fireplace in the den; a dishwasher for routine and some earth for garden beds; tucked away off a lane where birds play in the hedge.
The Dragon Queen
Ah! What a glorious time where one can design their own fate, and rule beyond the walls of any castle!
