Feed Me
I surrender to another because I want to be taken to that place where reason and thought disappears, where the world folds up flat and spins away into its own corner and there's nothing left but what I'm feeling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -
Feed Your Body
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
~Kahlil Gibran~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Feed Your Heart
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
~Mark Twain~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where there is great love, there are always great miracles.
~Mother Teresa~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are three things that are important in human life. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. The third is to be kind.
~Henry James~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Feed Your Mind
The quieter you become the more you can hear.
~Baba Ram Dass~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Out beyond the ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field; I'll meet you there.
~Rumi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
~Henry David Thoreau~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Henry David Thoreau~ -
Feed Your Soul
Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity..
~Pema Chodron~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joy has no cost.
~Marianne Williamson~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To know what you prefer, instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.
~Robert Louis Stevenson~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Desire & Intent
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
~Anais Nin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Friendship
In the sweetness of friendship; let there be laughter and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed
~Kahlil Gibran~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Love
‘A’Ole E ‘Olelo mai Ana Ke Ahi Ua Ana Ia.
Translation: The fire of Love will burn as long as it has something to feed on.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the kingdom of love there is no competition; there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away, the more love you will have.
~John O'Donohue~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.
~Anais Nin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
~Henry David Thoreau~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They are in each other all along.
~Rumi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

notes to self:
be mindful of the ties that bind you, for they are the same ones that set you free…
this week or maybe next
350′ of raw hemp…. mine to process; to impart my energy as I let the rope sing through my fingers.
boundaries
No, I will not sleep on the couch. Call me a cab, please. I’ll get the car in the morning. *slight pause* No. Get undressed and climb into bed…..
magic or hell
A little of both. Either way I am not at all sure they can be separated out. At least not yet….
Reigning Klutz Supreme
yet again…. I slipped coming down the stairs yesterday. I guess. Not sure what happened. One minute I was upright and next minute I was at the bottom of the landing. About 10 stairs or so. Rug burn on both … Continue reading
emerging
Each time with him I emerge as something new….as if another facet has been cut and polished; clean, clear, bright, razor-sharp…..
obnoxiously
long hair. Yep. Waist length. Ohhhhh, the modern miracles of hair extensions. Heh, Heh. How’s that for personal responsibility? They made me do it. *laughing* Wow! Total Fun! And why not? Because I am a girl, after all. And I … Continue reading

Well, my Anam Cara asked if he could live here while he transitions back to the Denver area. His schedule is set at three weeks of travel and one week off. My schedule is who the heck knows but usually … Continue reading
Let it snow
Snow, snow snow and more snow. That’s what I get for being lazy and not going to the store last night. NOthing but milk for morning java. Drat!
tired
Critical drop for me generally spans 24-48 hours after a scene. Difficult at best and really haven’t figured out how to manage without puking the resulting emotions all over others…
the not as I thought, thought for the morning….
It is not at all related to gender. It is related to the demeanor. I had an interesting experience last week with suspension and a really nice mind-fuck from a woman I never expected to be able to drop me … Continue reading
no longer
can I be less than the submissive woman I am; any more than you can be less than the dominant Man you are. So where the hell does *that* leave us?
the key
You still hold the key. I think of promises made and promises broken. Of how I failed not one, but three; you, Him and most importantly, me. Can you ever forgive one who is me? For being confused and naive? … Continue reading
Ebb and flow
It’s become somewhat of a tradition these past few years to gather with the children for a pre or post Thanksgiving get together at a local restaurant. And then again on Christmas Eve. Fine with me. I don’t have the … Continue reading
home at last
When he handed me the program and the pictures of you the tears instantly gushed down my cheeks and on to the floor. Another puddle of salt water in the wake of my grief. He peeked ever so gently into … Continue reading
