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

Trust as a Feedback Loop
Trust issues have been either an outright recurring theme, or one that seems to wiggle in as a continual undercurrent lately in many discussions. We seem to be individually and collectively exploring the trust we place both internally and externally … Continue reading
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
My blog buddy Shannee addressed these in her blog the other day. *sighs* This resonated so strongly with me, I found myself weeping. It’s time to look at this as well….to move forward. * Where do I feel I’ve betrayed … Continue reading

Morning Pages
I thought of you this morning. And felt a bit sad over missing you…your touch, your scent. How much I wanted you here with me this very minute. I’m touch starved. I’m intimacy starved. About 2 weeks is all I … Continue reading
Monsters Under My Bed
It’s rare when I don’t sleep soundly. Little wakes me anymore. Gone are the days of sleeping with one eye open listening for restless and sick babies and then driving teens making back home safely again. Oh, occasionally I have … Continue reading
non monogomy
We talked about my date who is married but bailed because of some last minute changes….these conversations always seem to morph into something completely different…. guess I still have some issues with being comfortable in it all. I rarely copy … Continue reading
Practicing what you preach
We’ve talked a lot the past week, he and I…my Colorado muse. Allowing me to vent my fears, and at the same time going to great lengths to soothe my increasing angst. I’m walking a line between freaking and being … Continue reading

I hope Greenwoman doesn’t mind too much about using the lily and the CnP job. *wink* It’s been a short week….at least work wise. I’ve switched to 4, 10 hour days and it’s been a bit difficult getting used to. … Continue reading
Transitions
Ok, on some level I was flattered. I admit it. I have a great ass. And a pretty smackable one at that. *wink* But I don’t let strangers touch my ass. Actually, I’ve let relative strangers fondle my breasts. Hell, … Continue reading
Updating Mastery
I worked myself into a funk this past week. Not like you could tell with the past two posts, right? Ugh. Another convenient path to diversion. Don’t wanna deal? Don’t wanna find solutions? Easy….just become depressed and then whine about … Continue reading

Passion & Intensity
He quietly and patiently explained again, in terms I was finally able to hear, You’re 5 foot and barely 100 pounds soaking wet. People take one look at you and assume your size equates to your demeanor. Bad assumption. You’re … Continue reading
Overcoming
I was always a strong swimmer, despite not learning to swim until the age of 8 or so. Mountain lakes, streams, ponds, the ocean and of course the pool. Between the age of 12 and 16, essentially all through middle … Continue reading
Tapping Creativity
I’m quite sure now that what previously pushed me to write anything at all had little to do with the desire to do so. More and more it seems that the exercise has always been cathartic in its entirety, heavily … Continue reading
Emancipation & Power
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds. From Redemption Song, Bob Marley We spend an inordinate amount of time chasing our fears. Our fear drives us to both action and inaction. It’s the primary re-action … Continue reading
