The Quest For Fire
It is not so much the climb nor distance
In the perseverance against resistance
That breaks spirit down at end of day –
But lack of matching heart to convey.
Education Is Important
How we comprehend and interact with the world and species around us (including humans) is guided by how well we have developed our skills of inquiry without bias and ego-based judgments.
The Muse
I do not expect them to recognize me,
But when they look back, sifting my memories,
They will come to understand how well I have loved them.
(Roots)
“Between You And Me”

There is gravel and a tree,
An expanse of open grass
And buildings at distance.
As gaze views blue above
I search for a deeper love,
Noting clouds are parting
Revealing vibrant destiny.
This Way
Is it better this way than another
Where in reality we’d be partners?
Here in the silence he looks at me
While his eyes are smiling happily –
A promise of once passed that can be
As in dreams when said he loved me.
When I Miss It
I miss when I thought you were He
And you aspired so I would believe:
My font inside spilled forth creatively.
But, then I realized the ruse after late
Once heart could contemplate reason –
Discovering performance high treason.
And upon reflection, rid of misdirection,
I realized that key to happiness was me:
I just have to delve into deeply imagining.
“Ish And The Sun Eater”

Keep It Going
Momentum is key for
Anyone who dreams,
For slowing weighs us
With others’ schemes
And anyone who dares
Can overcome barriers
If practice to
Develop skeins.
(Life Goes On)
Cast Aside
The elderly do not want to be bothered by youth’s needs or ambitions. They are too content dwelling in what might have and should have beens. At least, this seems prevalent with many who consider themselves “high society.”
Healing
Healing is about Adaptation. Therefore, it is best that I work where people are open to these concepts, rather than where they are closed minded.
“Jag”
The scammer diverted me from the succubus.
The landlord diverted me from complacency.
I work with what I am given, despite difficulty.
“It’s Complicated”

Insecurity
I do not know why, therefore I am very cautious.
We have not had hot water since yesterday morning.
This time, I will not be the advocate who informs our landlord.

Exposed
The last ten years have been a testament to my endurance as I have navigated our lack of housing security while each “rock” has been overturned.

On The Edge
“Rags to riches.” “Riches to rags.”
The current economy favors fickle landlords.
Those who “have” buy property and turn over serfs.

“My Reward”

Six sweet lavender and three spicey-sweet mini Carnations (Dianthus). They were all on sale, and since I cannot have my garden of vegies this Spring, I am adding to my flowers to keep happy.
The sun was at an angle, so flared light all around and diffused the clarity. But, this is quite symbolic of the haze I am swimming in, seeking those bright pinpoints of color to guide me through.
It Hurts
It hurts to not know why and to be unable to change it. It hurts even though I know I was not the problem.
A Trend
It seems to not matter if you are open, honest, sincere; have good boundaries – but without false veneer; and are willing to productively collaborate with good cheer. People will look for anything to smeer – even if they have to invent and project it.

Faith
It is difficult to reconcile continued positivity when others betray my trust in them.
“Out Of The Box”
Family pushes for room to grow when confined.
It can’t be helped that a bird’s wings need to fly.

New Frontiers
I made some great connections today, and have new ventures lining up that might help bring in more money. After pushing against it, my headache begins to dissipate.

The Wind And Me
As tension clamps down over losing our home base and insecurity adds inflammation to resultant migraine, I cast myself out onto the local seas to connect with more prospective business collaborators. For despite that I still need rest and recovery, we need more money.
Undermined
How does one keep a sense of calm when keep on encountering buried landmines?
Front Line
As a health professional, I assist recovering wellness.
As an individual, my life feels often in the trenches.
(Stop And Stare)
Shelved, Again
I will not be pursuing my Bachelor completion soon, afterall. Finding another home takes precedence. Housing instability continuum.
(Changes)
Shifting Tides
It is hilarious to me how I have worked so hard to get us restabilized, and told myself that I would put off my heart’s desire to travel as a healer, etc. – and this evening we got notice our landlord is not renewing our lease.
No reason why, but we will have a good reference.
We have until August 1st to find a new place – and youngest is looking at our moving out of state!
The Fates, perhaps, are laughing at my attempt to deny my own wings.
