not "me"

Posted on Thursday, 6 August, 2009 by Rosa

It felt good to talk in the manner of pure friendship again….It’s something I remarked last week that I thought we had lost for good.  And although he insisted we haven’t….only that the pieces of living together had fallen on … Continue reading →

The Journey (Part two-Mirrors)

Posted on Saturday, 11 April, 2009 by Rosa

I’m being handed an opportunity to again be a mirror and be mirrored in Another. My time for isolation has ended it seems, or at least on this piece of floating rock in the Pacific. My recent ex-roommate provided that … Continue reading →

Shrugging

Posted on Saturday, 21 March, 2009 by Rosa

I feel strangely OK with it.  Strangely quiet inside about it all. Not at all typically me.  Frenetic me.  Worrying me. Anxious me. I was canned from my job yesterday.  Not for anything significant as far as I can figure.  … Continue reading →

whaddya call it?

Posted on Monday, 16 March, 2009 by Rosa

My native tongue fails me. There are no words for this, what we do and what we feel. Society can’t grasp it so there are no defining words…. I know more what it’s not, punctuated by occasional and not so … Continue reading →

Blast from the past

Posted on Saturday, 21 February, 2009 by Rosa

I met him my first day of work back in December ’88.  I took a break for almost two years when my youngest was born, and it was time to get back into the workforce. I didn’t know anyone of … Continue reading →

I/you/we/he/she/they

Posted on Saturday, 10 January, 2009 by Rosa

Show Me the Balance

Posted on Saturday, 10 January, 2009 by Rosa

So where it is? Where is the line between being able to honestly express feelings and biting my tongue to be kind, loving and supportive? Do I say nothing at all? Do I just reserve it hoping it doesn’t fester … Continue reading →

Morning Pages

Posted on Sunday, 5 October, 2008 by Rosa

The 4th Channel

Posted on Thursday, 2 October, 2008 by Rosa

That’s the crux of it…I’m looking for that deep, 4 channel experience with another.  For complete surrender with another.  I’m close…but it’s not automatic.  I’m still guarded.

non monogomy

Posted on Sunday, 28 September, 2008 by Rosa

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 →
