Pow Wow

Coming back from a Native Pow Wow in Pennsylvania, what a beautiful day with my cousins Adam and Joyce, and company, and puppy dog. Lovely authentic Native regalia worn by the participants; continuous ritual demonstrations, and at the end three Screech Owls were released by a rehabilitator into the wild. More details and pics later, for now I am feeling blessed to have shared such a spiritual experience with people close to my heart.

What ~ what ~

After trying on a zillion silly bathing suits and not finding a single one that I like, or that is made for a human, I have given up. The only place I am going to find one I like is inside my storage unit. Buried. I have also come to the conclusion, after being subjected to three way mirrors for way too long, that I am no longer 15. How does this happen? I was 15 just yesterday~ not sure how to handle this whole linear time thing...

Not A Word Was Spoken; The Church Bells All Were Broken

Wünderbar

Fabulous! to see more excellent people today, along with excellent junior people; sharing their company is such a blessing. The weather was pure perfection for it, too. And now that they have gone home (long drive), we get to finish off the food! W00t!

Seeking

Frustration follows those with expectations. Seek enlightenment and true love not just in ivory towers and temples where those who gather have been blessed with a life of university, supportive friends and family, healthy food and worldly success. Instead seek it where you do not expect, in the faces of those you happen to meet, those who have lived in the trenches of life, who have scars on them, who dig in the dirt, who feel your pain, who cry for others. Look for the signs, believe your spirit. Seek it in those who have walked through hellfire alone and still have love in their eyes, wonder in their hearts and laughter in their souls.

Halcyon

Running down the avenue
Or down the dirt and gravel road,
Or up the rutted drive way;
the earth beneath your feet turning.

Speeding like a cannonball,
a short magnum bullet,
a cruise missile,
Stardust;
the sun above your head burning.

Soaring like a Red-tailed Hawk,
a Golden Eagle,
a Peregrine Falcon;
the troposphere through your wings blowing.

Diving like an Orca,
a Barracuda,
a Sailfish;
the sea across your skin flowing.    

Screaming like a Bugatti,
the Maglev train,
an X-15;
the sound around your crown breaking.

Go fast, and faster still, tender legs aching.

Go fast, go quickly.
On your way, out of sight,
out of the brightness of today,
sprinting,charging, into night.

And yet you are still here;
And yes, it is still now.
Whatever path you take, you are still here.
However fast you run,
however fast you fly,
it is still now.

Important Matters

There are only a few things that matter, Love, Laughter, Compassion, Honesty, Faith, Love and Laughter, in that order, or in any order; the rest are just paths to them.

A horse walks into a bar.
The bartender says
"Why the long face?"





Oh my dark heart that STILL wrecks me!!!

Love? Is Only Real If You Are

So

I am floored, I just heard that a man I used to date is seeing a girl who is literally young enough to be his daughter. I am floored because I completely misjudged him. My first impression of him was "player, child, don't trust" but then I bought into his "humble artist soul" after many conversations. I'm not so upset at him as at my own misjudgment. This world is so full of wolves in sheep's clothing it's a wonder anyone honest finds anyone else the same.

English Magic

"I think a true gardener is a lover of his flowers, not a critic of them.  I think the true gardener is a reverent  servant of Nature, not her truculent. I think the true gardener, the older he grows, should more and more develop a humble, grateful, and uncertain spirit."
~Reginald Farer, In A Yorkshire Garden, 1909

Thank You...

Horses, Horses,Horses,Horses,

It was a cozy couch night, we have a real working TeeVee here that my Uncle Bill was gracious enough to bring, with a built in VCR. Mom and I had tea and popcorn, and Herr's Corn Curls (the GOOD kind...) and so I finally watched the notorious movie "Sleepless In Seattle". It really IS a touching flick, I don't ever expect filmmakers to get things like that. It was a pleasant surprise. I'm still not sure why Ron Wulff calls me Annie though.

Warm

I have enjoyed very much all of the visitors who have come to call. There are not many things better than breaking bread with wonderful, special people. I look forward to hearing the stories and adventures, and sharing the memories. I can't wait till the next time!


...a kiss is but a kiss...a sigh is but a sigh...

Kayakage

Couldn't bring mine, but they have rentals. But you're not allowed to take them where I want to go (always the way...which is why I need mine here...) hmm. Rowboats don't like rocks and branches. So I guess my only real option is to come back here with it. Next question: Will it fit on a Fatboy? (;

The End

T S Eliot

What we call a beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.


NewsFlash: In the future! When a girlfriend says "I don't think this guy is good for me, I don't like the way he is treating me," ... Believe her ! Don't talk her out of dumping the guy because you "understand" him! SHE is the one going out with him, if she feels like something's off, she is probably spot on. Support don't oppose. Now after holding on when she knew to let go, she's in much more pain than she would've been.


Oh, and~ if he is not messaging you, it means you are not on his mind... Why don't you just call the other one back? He is totally real, and not stuck up, very accomplished, funny, fun, witty, talented, and d d gorgeous~ oh right because you want the guy who ignores you and thinks he is better than you... The one who doesn't call or invite you anywhere, and who is obviously seeing at least one other woman, if not three- the attention whore who disses you, yes that's the one you should wait for! Wait until he's all healed from his pain and then he'll call you, hehehe... Remember when you did the very same thing to that sweet guy with the Cliffwalk house? This might be your payback, ouch.Maybe you should call HIM, see if you can make amends... ;) Wealthy men aren't all bad, you know. Some of them are very sweet.
