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

8 pounds 3 ounces, 20 inches. Born by c-section yesterday about noon. I think I will have him call me glam’ma. But I am kind of fond of Evil Midget Gran’ma. *laughing*
red kite summer
Do you remember? Do you remember the summer of the red kite? I remember….. I remember ripstop nylon in fire engine red, cutting dowels with a steak knife, swivel hooks attached to string. Do you remember? I remember a seven-foot … Continue reading
Lost to changes
A blue loose leaf binder filled with notes & organized with tabbed dividers; research notes, interviews with long time locals, questions to be answered. *blink* The thought, actually a vision of that binder skittered through my mind so rapidly I … Continue reading
Filing System
Memories pepper the walls of my mind with the force of a shotgun blast. Thousands of bits of conversation, thousands of pixels comprising visions of events leave painfully pockmarked walls and fill the corridors of my mind. There are days … Continue reading
Seasons of Change
It’s my age I think that makes me more aware than ever….no one is exempt of course. I think we don’t really address our own mortality until we lose a parent, a spouse, or we hit the big 5-0. Last … Continue reading
Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails
Thinking about it all, I was allowed more masculine activities for the time in which I was raised. The early 60’s still had a certain air of strict gender roles with respect to toys and playtime. No skirts or frilly … Continue reading
Metal Cages
Hooked to kitchen window and the decaying brick facade was our lifesaver in case of fire. In the late afternoon before my father came home from work, my mother would let me crawl out the window onto the fire escape. … Continue reading
Mi Tio, Mon Oncle
I have so many stories about him. Others have even more. He was my favorite Uncle. He was my only Uncle. He called me his favorite niece. I was his only niece. That was our banter. Short and pudgy like … Continue reading

Mood: dildos are not a lethal weapon Take a guess…how many big purple dildos do you think they see every day checking people’s bags? 100’s? 1000’s?? Millions??? Yeah, that’s it…millions….everybody who flies carries a big purple dildo in their carry … Continue reading
As Much As I Say….
I am running away from my kids…and to some degree I am…they need me out of this nest…but, I still worry…I’ll always be “Mom”. Brought some take out food home the other day…girl child all but snatched the leftovers out … Continue reading

I like sitting outside in public places…to…uhhhh…well…watch the public. I often go to one of the local coffee shops to do just that. And think, and write, and just relax. I needed to get out of the house tonight. The … Continue reading
My Wiseass Children
At the beginning of April, my Most Favorite (and only) Daughter offered up the extra bedroom in her place while I prepared for my move to Hawaii. It meant sharing space with her, her boyfriend, and my youngest boy child. … Continue reading
revisiting life
This seems strangely appropriate right now as I think about life and love and leaving a space I’ve been too comfortable with for so very long… We all meet people in our lives who affect us deeply. Loving others in … Continue reading
Dear Landlord
As you know, the weather here in Colorado has been nothing short of extreme for the last month. We’ve had snow every weekend and frigid temps every night. Although it’s been in the high 30’s during the day, what little … Continue reading
Just one Warm Day, please
