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~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So far…..
Bombs dropped in conversation to me but mentioned as conversation with another, are not ok. I was talking to him this weekend and he said he knows I want to move back to Denver. Blink All my friends, the kids … Continue reading
the 3am insomniac
Dreams continue to invade my normally sound sleep. Last night, the night before, and the night before that, too. When it happens it’s always the same. I wake in the wee hours of the morning trying to process the remaining … Continue reading
there’s a reason
I should know better. I don’t purposefully give out this blog address to many. Sometimes what I write is incredibly verbose, self depreciating, mean; you name it. I don’t often take posts down. I let my human nature show. Sometimes … Continue reading
natural….nothin’
A bit of a rant this morning, and something I’ve been chewing on for some time now. I hear it and see it all the time; someone is “a natural”, especially in the lifestyle. Natural submissive, natural slave, natural Dominant, … Continue reading
50 Books
Compiling this was way harder than I thought because I had to exclude some…well, many…and prioritize *gasps*. So many books… Not in order of any importance except perhaps the first 6, or 7 or so…more or less…yanno? It’s interesting too, … Continue reading
introverts
I found this on the web somewhere last week and shared it with my housemate. She is on the extreme end of extrovert. It’s interesting how we can accept each other but we don’t really understand the why of how … Continue reading
introverted screams….
I would rather go blind reading than go cold, dumb and numb watching TV, movies or playing computer games.
dragons
Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are really princesses waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence something helpless that wants our love. Rainer Maria Rilke, … Continue reading
the heart of decay…
“Not that sex should be regarded as therapeutic or to be taken for medicinal purposes-only a dullard would hang such a millstone around the nibbled neck of a lay — but to approach sex carelessly, shallowly, with detachment and without … Continue reading
Flat
I don’t do flat….. No one should. It speaks of sheep; cold, numb and dumb; lifeless, not worth it. Why the hell would anyone do what is not “worth it”?
460 days
You take care of you, you hear? I miss you. I Love You, Dear. ::sighs:: Thinking of you today as yet another we know departs this world. I’ve learned…well…better to just sit with it. Let the salt water tears wash … Continue reading
the unexplained
I’m a bit reluctant to post this but what the hell. I’ve been stewing in it for about a month now and it’s time to give it a rest. A few weeks before Christmas, I was sitting having a smoke … Continue reading
pride
Pride, my friends, is the deadliest of fires. While other flames burn the surface, pride burns from within. It works its way from the heart until it consumes you. And like any fire, it will eat its prey until it … Continue reading
before you poke fun
at me or assume I have issues with headaches all the time; I take 2 (yes 2) aspirin daily because my doctor insists on it. It helps my very thick blood from sticking together and making a lumpy mess that … Continue reading
dangerous assumptions
All woman are not the same. All woman do not want, need, think or act the same. Not all woman are competitive simply because they are woman. What we do is to act and react to the extreme pressures of … Continue reading
