I Promise

I promise not to run around chasing love, because I am love. I promise to spread love and passion wherever I go and in whatever I do. My heart is my guide, my roadmap and true north. "Love begets love and what you give out is what you get back." I promise you baby to be love.

I promise that although I found soul food in the poetic love dance of our souls, and that I do want you again and again, I do not need you to experience the everlasting beatitude of love, lovers and lovemaking.

I promise that I know love is beautiful but not always rational, and there is no reason for us not to be able to live without one another. It is yet again time for another change, as I transform from this cracked cocoon to a majestic butterfly. I promise to take this magnificence and soar high on the new-found wings of love and freedom. Tasting the sweet breath of love in each and every honeyed encounter, basking in fevered lovers embraces. I promise to always be that wild woman with passion that flows through her entire being, an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, experience, adventure and wanderlust in her heart and soul. I promise to keep my fire lit. I promise to be the inspiration for poetry from the soul. 

I promise to listen to the whisper of the moon as I dance naked in the rain. I promise to bask in the warmth of the sun's resplendent glow, letting the wind caress my cheek as if it were a soft lovers touch. I promise you baby that I know love. 

I promise to make a thousand or more mistakes along the way but I will not be anything less than the passionate lover that you know, staying true to me. I promise to never change to fit in with the "norm" because I am a far cry from normal, not anything less than strange. I promise that we won't always agree and there will be conflict but that's okay, its growth for our souls. I promise that I will never become boring or just mediocre that's just not me. 

I promise to be as passionate and wild as always, if not more so in my encounters with new lovers. Nakedness intertwined in a passionate  embrace between souls, hearts connecting as we bathe in that ethereal flow of fulfillment with every heated stroke. I promise you that the magic of our bodies touching for the first time initiating fiery sparks, which threatened to consume all around us will always be the same between us, again and again. Our fire shall never die. 

 I promise you that I will never be good at being controlled by my hearts deepest desire or longing for what is no good for me. I will run from this "control" naked and baring my soul to grasp my freedom. I promise you baby that our love will never die.

I promise that I will stay on course in adventures as I choose from and  taste the sweet fruits from the tree of love, exploring the kingdom of new lovers. I promise that I won't say I'll love you forever because this is a desperate promise of young lovers who haven't been calloused by the honesty which only age and experience can inspire. I promise you baby that I am love. 

I promise to accept the choices we have made together even if I don't like them. I appreciate freedom and accept that which I cannot change. I promise not to accept the lameness of pathetic excuses, but I do and always will accept the integrity which comes from honesty and truth. I promise to always respect the truth. I promise that there isn't anything that I can't overcome, because I know love and I am love.

I promise not to hang on to the memories of our love, I release us to be free. I promise that I love you enough to let you go in happiness. I promise to let you be you and to let me be me choosing this time to set us free.

I promise you baby that I set us free.

B.O.O.K.S.

I took this photo in a little gem of a bookstore when I was visiting family on the East coast. 

The little piece down below was something that I had found in one of the many books required for English class at one time or another, but the problem is I don't know who the author is. It's a perfect companion for my photo though, so enjoy.

"Books are incredible technoligical breakthrough of their time. The clever design, simple setup, and ease of use will cause revolutionary breakthroughs and is sure to last through the ever changing advancement in technology. Books are sleek, simple and portable with no wiring, no batteries and no circuits to deal with. Designed for ease of use, even a small child can operate it, just pick it up and lift the cover to open a new world of adventure and creativity. Light compact and so portable a it can be used virtually anywhere, inside, outside by the fireplace in a recliner and even at the doctors office. It's being called the entertainment wave of the future, just open it  and begin. There are no special set up or services required and it can be picked up at anytime and used -- all that is neccessary is opening it up. Sounds too simple you say? Too good to be true? Well it is an incredible product I tell you and you will never regret purchasing one. Due to the simplicity of its design it will never crash and will never need to be rebooted. To access the handy browse feature all that is necessary is turning the page which you can use to move forward and then back to the begining again. Simplicity at it's finest! Books also come with a handy index feature which is typically within the first few pages and this can be used to pinpoint the pages where information can be reviewed, also there are no limits to the number of times you can access the information and most importantly no time limits.  Notations and personal notes can also be made next to book entries for later retrieval. Personal notes can be made by using a handy  programming tool called the "Portable Erasable Nib Criptic Intercommunication Language Stylus typically called Pencils."   The Book and its programming tool the Pencil will surely be around for many generations to come. Having been dispensed worldwide already, will this be the end of the personal comuputer?" ~author unknown

Spider Totems

Spider Totems

Spiders are very delicate creatures that play an important role in the myths and lore of many peoples as the teacher of balance between the past and future, the physical and spiritual.

To the Native Americans, Spider is Grandmother, the link to the past and future. In India it's associated with Maya, the weaver of illusions.

With its gentle strength, Spider spins together the threads of life with intricate webs.

Spider knows that the past affects the future and vise versa. It calls us to make use of our creativity and weave our dreams into our destiny.

For many Native Americans, "spider woman" stories are important creation mythologies. One of the common feature of those are wisdom symbolized with spiders' webs (for example, she taught the human how to weave). Also generally accepted are the ideas that her "thread" connects the human world and the world of spirits or the "above world" and the "below world". Spider Woman also weaves the "relationship" of the Web of Life and all beings.

"In the beginning, there was the dark purple light at the dawn of being. Spider Woman spun a line to form the east, west, north, and south. Breath entered man at the time of the yellow light. At the time of the red light, man proudly faced his creator. Spider Woman used the clay of the earth, red, yellow, white, and black, to create people. To each she attached a thread of her web which came from the doorway at the top of her head. This thread was the gift of creative wisdom. Three times she sent a great flood to destroy those who had forgotten the gift of her thread. Those who remembered floated to the new world and climbed to safety through the Sipapu Pole the womb of Mother Earth."

Thank a Veteran

                     Time Life Magazine 1966

Veterans Day is a day set aside for us to honor the men and the women who bravely serve our country both past and present. Those who protect us, defend us and go above and beyond to ensure our freedom and liberty, from those who threaten to destroy what our forefathers established so long ago. This is the greatness of what our country was molded from since its beginnings, those farmers who took arms to stand up for their freedom. A group of Hero’s is what established our freedom from the very beginning of this country and through history.

 A standard dictionary definition of a hero:

HERO

he·ro

ˈhirō/

noun

1. A  person, typically a man, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.

1. “a war hero”

   synonyms: brave person, brave man/woman, man/woman of courage,man/woman of the hour, lionheart, warrior, knight, champion, victor, conqueror.

   What is your definition of a hero?

   Throughout this wonderful United States of America there are countless amounts of veterans who deserve to be recognized as Hero’s for just simply serving in our Military. Not all veterans have faced the challenge of actually going to war or combat as shown in the photo below but should still be recognized as hero’s, just because they are soldiers. Soldiers prepared for the day they are called in to battle.

   I am fortunate in being a part of a small community in which I live and work. Having pretty much grown up at our local coffee shop it’s been my privilege to work among and get to know such greatness as these local hero’s.

   I’m certain that every town in America has or has had at least one hometown hero who’s served this country in an amazing way. Personal stories to be shared, handed down from generation to generation. A handshake and a thank you to a veteran or just simply listening to their experience  goes a long way. Take a moment to find out about your local veterans and take a few more minutes of your time to ask them about their experiences as a soldier.

   One of our home town hero’s here in Watervliet is a man named Glen Oppeneer, Corky for short. Corky was pictured in Life magazine in 1966 as shown below and in the featured image. As you can see he lived experiences in battle that I could never even imagine if it weren’t for his stories told firsthand.

Corky Openeer 1966

With this post I want to thank Corky for being that hero during Vietnam and I would also like to thank Ed and Mac for being hero’s of WWII.  I admire you for the amazing individuals that you are with amazing stories to tell. Your contribution of service in the military is something to be admired respected and you are great examples of what the people of this countryare made of. Without brave men and women like you we wouldn’t be FREE.

The Gift

A wonderful Christmas gift was delivered last night. The neatly wrapped gift took us all completely by surprise. I really had no idea what would be in the little package. This memorabilia of Lee has traveled the world, and has even been through war. For eleven years it has been gently and lovingly cared for by his best friend as only a true caring friend would do. Just looking at it you can see how well it's journeyed, it looks just as good as the day it left. Josh simply said that he felt it was time for this to return home to be with its family.

Thank you Josh for taking care of it for these years, to me this was the best Christmas surprise and I couldn't have asked for anything more.

To me this is what Christmas is all about.

Quote You

Today I'm going to quote someone who had to leave in order for me to grow.

I have found the courage to face my emotional responsibilities I've gained 

new insight which purifies the spirit with charity and truth. This past year I've

learned that there's definitely something to sacrificing the negative emotional past. 

Lifting the spirit to expand influence with the intent to help others who have the same

problems of emotional indifference to their personal freedom. This is what I've learned.

So what'dya know? 

My self discovery has been an interesting journey. A great teacher once told me that

my journey in this lifetime would require me to find love without losing myself. Now I know

what that meant.

I never realized how quickly I sense the energy of others, hence picking up on

the energy of Martin Luther King Jr. for example.

This learning has now become fun as I sort through all the journal notes, 

separate what I now know to be "others energy" and in this separateness I define me.

Artsy

I've never had the pleasure of formal art training, one day I just began to draw.
My memories had taken me back to a time when I was about eight or nine years old. After having drawn a an image from a newspaper ad I showed my step father what I'd been working on. The ad said if you can draw this mail to the address provided for a chance to go to art school. The excitement that pumped through my veins quickly dissipated when he carelessly commented that I had traced the image. From that moment on I resigned myself to the fact that I could not draw and had no creative talents whatsoever. Come to find out I can create beauty by drawing, painting writing and photography. I see and have beauty all around me and with this I create.
Now I teach myself the art of art.

Owning Sexy

I never really thought about being sexy or wanting to be sexy. Growing up in small town america as an old fashioned tomboy, you know the girl down the street who always wore jeans and never really made a fuss about her hair, makeup or pretty things and always had the short boy haircut. The girl who loved to be free and completely natural. You’ve all known that girl, the one who climbed trees and spit without shame just like one of the guys.

I was raised to be modest and was instilled with a strong sense of sexual shame which at times made me dislike my gender and myself. I was intimidated by my mother who I thought was the most beautiful woman on the planet with her bleach blond bouffant hairdo and her sexy sense of stylish dress, so stunning that she always managed to turn heads when she entered a room. Unfortunately mom wasn’t home much and never instilled in me what I needed to know to be a confident sexy woman, so I never was.

Teenage me was an awkward time. I wanted to be pretty and wanted to believe people when they said that I was but lacked all confidence in myself, which by the way was instilled by the step father who did manage to drill into me his contempt for my very existence by way of insults. It’s hard to feel beautiful or sexy when you are told constantly that you are fat and ugly. This defined the view that I had of myself as a young adult and lasted into my mid twenties when something finally clicked. I didn’t date or play the field, I met my first love at 16 and he was my ticket out. I left home on a wing and a prayer.

I remained insecure about myself and how I looked most of my life and I would envy those women who would rock those sexy outfits and could walk into a room with confidence. As for me I thought myself as average and a little on the heavy side, I struggled with weight and would cringe when looking in a mirror. Starvation by diet pills became a way of life for me, but I still lacked confidence.

Owning sexy didn’t come about for me until my mid thirties. I began to rock the boat of my own persona. The old mirror shattered by my own hand and out of this a new and improved woman emerged.
This woman that I saw in the reflection was someone who I hadn’t recognized before, she was beautiful, sexy, gorgeous. This beauty and sexiness wasn’t her physical appearances alone it was in fact that beautiful heart radiating with love. It is the heart that radiates the beauty, the love and the sexiness.
Owning sexy came down to opening my heart and loving myself for who I am on the inside for in our hearts is where God resides.

That’s how I owned sexy and you can too.

Weary Heart

I’m weary my friend for my travels have been long. I’m tired of the endless forks in the road and the seemingly endless paths in the forest of love which have all led to nowhere. I’m tired of the the wrong turns which are too many to count. The trail that I could walk with you seems filled with hope, beautiful, wonderful and peaceful but will require too much of me, for I am broken. I have holes which have been carved from worries, fears, and lack of love. The wounds I carry have not yet been healed, and I long for the magician who can fill the holes with the tender love my aching heart desires. It seems clear that no amount of wishing will make the fairy tale that I desire come alive.

It seems as though I was driving a little too fast when I recklessly abandoned myself for a moment, but shot back into reality quickly to review the situation. The distance, the miles that separate and my deepest desires and my innermost fears, unable to transform myself I have chosen not to take that route. It’s easy to get carried away in the moment when wrapped up in a great feeling, when you just click with someone it’s easy to forget the barriers that stand in the way. Planes, trains and automobiles are easy but I’ve had to ask myself if this is what I truly desire. Do I want to settle for this? The answer is no I don’t, I am not ready to embark on this journey with such large obstacles in my way. The failure of my recent past only serves to reinforce my fears. Try as I may to get rid of this feeling I still have the bad taste in my mouth from that last misadventure. No amount of cleansing has helped to rid me of the unsavory flavor. I prefer the taste of crow.

What a beautiful fairy tale we could have written, as I stand faithfully by your side dedicated to you and wanting nothing but you by my side, but I am tired and have grown weary. I cannot lie about my selfish wants to be desired and my need to have and to hold. You are handsome, wonderful and everything that I’ve ever dreamed of but my friend I am simply unable to do it with you. Perhaps we will make love in our dreams which is where you can have the parts of me that you desire the most. Here you can have me as I wish I were too.

Be still my beating heart because this is where I surrender and say goodbye.

"But it was just my 'magination, once again.
Running away with me.
Tell you it was just my 'magination,
Running away with me."

W

That Love

Love fiercely, love freely and with wild abandon

I loved you for a moment in the silvery moonlight beneath the twinkling stars.  

Why this happened I really don’t know, I only know that I loved you for a moment. 

In that moment life was perfect and we were happy as we lived out our love. 

Like night and day, dark and light our hearts afire with boundless desire as we loved for a moment. Loving  fiercely with freedom and wild abandon taking us to the brink of insanity, then back down gently yet not passively.

 Dinner over candlelight in a small Café, wild passionate love on the beach as we ended our day. Lovers embraces as our arms intertwined, soft kisses and sweet passion as we gazed into each other’s eyes. 

I still get those shivers when I think of your stirring touch. In that moment of love that we shared I was happy I cannot deny. 

 This moment in time was a wonderful phase, beautiful, hopeful and absolutely divine.

 This walk by your side was a wonderful ride. 

Through ups and our downs as we lived our journey and moved forward on our paths. 

We learned from each other as we lived and loved.  

Passionate rage became the staple as time went by. 

Jealousy and control was not to be lived by.

Distance grew as we moved apart but the passionate love would forever be branded in our hearts. We loved for that moment, that moment in time.

 Life was beautiful but then life became hard as the passion faded and the distance became greater. What a great love that was with me by your side as we took that ride through unknown venues, twists and turns nearing the cliffs as we tragically teetered on the edge of destruction.

 We stepped back for air and to honor each others space. 

The break was inevitable as we realized that we must part before the passion consumed us in the dark.  In the heat of the moment it was easy for this love to flourish but only for that moment we were allowed to love. 

Fate knocks at the door, the karmic wheel spins, we are catapulted to destinations unknown, how cruel life lessons can be when we love and are torn.

 Stepping back without turning away,  another time lover is spoken from one to the other as our paths have in an almost cruel way changed to rip us apart.  

We Loved for just a moment but much was learned. 

You see my love, true love never really dies. I loved you for a moment and this moment in time is where I learned to let go and forgive each day.

I have known passionate true love and I think of you and smile.

My Soul Knows Your Soul

That earth shattering almost electrifying love at first sight shock wave that sends tremors through our very being, reaching straight down to our souls.

Dear Right Person wrong time,
When me met it was as if time stood still for a moment. Instantly my soul recognized your soul. I became intrigued as I was taken back to another time, another place. Back to when we first met and back to when we last met. Through triumph and tragedy our passions ignited time and time again.
I know that when we first meet someone who we feel an instant attraction to we feel like we have met “the one”. Those feelings of Butterflies that tickle our tummies our excitement as we think that our search for love has finally ended.
That earth shattering almost electrifying love at first sight shock wave that sends tremors through our very being, reaching straight down to our souls.
We met we loved and we parted all within just a few short months yet it’s not soon forgotten.
This lifetime was deemed not our time by obstacles too great.
Yet I chose to love regardless.
As much as the desire and wanting was there, burning deep within my soul I had to face the truth and admit that this was not to be.
A heart wrenching love that could never be. Sadly we parted ways yet I still feel your presence.
Although we are separated by thousands of miles and an eon of time I still feel your every thought, your every emotion, desires, passions and secrets. A tough way to go.
The problem lies in that even though you are gone from me and I you, your energy still lingers. I cut myself off from the journeys and night visions all to no avail. I still feel you here when I go to bed at night, I feel your ups and your downs. I feel you happiness, sadness, despair, anger, excitement and I sincerely wish that you would completely leave me for good and this for my own peace of mind for you are only a memory now, a spot in my past. To me you aren’t real anymore, although I’m not sure that you ever were very real at all. I blame this in my being a hopeless romantic who always wishes to see the best in and extend trust to everyone that I meet. So in saying this I also want to tell you that my thoughts of you have been placed ever so gently with my fondest memories in life. Yes you were that special but the past is where you need to stay for now.
I have loved many times and in many different ways. My heart broken again and again leaving me to pick up the remaining pieces only to start all over. You weren’t the first to shatter my heart but hopefully you will be the last.
I have lived and learned. With this precious knowledge I take what’s left of me, my broken pieces and offer my love once again. Putting the pieces together and nurturing my forlorn heart with love back to wholeness. Filling the cracks and holes with tenderness and bringing it back to life.
Too big a challenge for you but that’s okay because we all have our tough tests that we fail bringing back with us valuable lessons learned from the experience.
I ask you now to be at peace and to let me be at peace as well for I have loved you through eternity and back
and more…

Until we meet again my friend.

Dedicated to those undeniable passionate loves that we so desperately seek in our lifetimes.

“If you want to know where your heart is, look at where your mind goes when it wanders.”- Anonymous

Take To The Air

I’ve taken wing to soar the skies,

and as I soar above I search for you

scanning the earth through eyes of an eagle

I look for you, for some kind of sign.

I see the truth.

I feel as though I’ve swallowed a brick

My stomach churns

I fight the tears

Time has placed a barrier here.

Holding back with all I have

Strength depleted, nothing more to say,

I muster the courage to turn away.

The Nurse (Rough Draft)

10/24/2011

Slivers of bright morning sunshine peek through the curtains, stirring me from my tranquil sleep and ruining my beautiful dream. Squinting as if wincing in pain I open my eyes not ready to start another day.  I close my eyes again trying to feign sleep as I listen to the sounds of busy shuffling steps moving up and down the hallway. Dreading the sound of those familiar heavy footsteps, which signal the arrival of the Nazi nurse.  I’ve grown accustomed to her abrasive demeanor knowing that she takes her job seriously but I still like to give her a hard time.

Morning is when the hospital comes alive again and soon she will be here like clockwork. I feel like it’s her duty to make me miserable. I continue to feign sleep as I wonder can’t this woman ever miss a day of work? I try to quickly adjust my head and neck in a comfortable position before she arrives, so I can pretend to be sleeping. Too late she caught me as her overbearing figure looms in the doorway. She puts a big smile on her face as she enters the room and says “good morning” as I smile back at her plotting my next move boy is she in for it today.

She’s looking at me as she approaches, and I can tell that she’s wondering how I will behave today. This nurse I swear is bent on making me miserable, why won’t she just go away just disappear from my room, this floor even? I swear she is here to torment me, sent straight from hell, the devil in disguise. It’s not bad enough that I can’t move any part of my body anymore since the accident except my head and neck, but do I also have to have this drill sergeant of a nurse to deal with? Could my life get any worse seriously?

Her hulking figure hovers over me, her flushed face inches from mine, Listerine and coffee  radiating from her breath, I ask her if she forgot mouthwash this morning, with a little smile. Her body stiffens just a little as she ignores me, our day has begun. I give her a pretend contemptuous look trying to get under her skin. “Sasquatch!” I yell out she rolls her eyes looking annoyed.  I swear at her, I use my mouth to nip at her pretending that I want to bite her, I scream in fake agony as she dresses me, I yell at her to stop and to leave me alone, I complain about her clumsiness, but she just ignores me and keeps working. She bristles a little her first reaction, I can see that I’m getting to her success I think to myself smiling. Oh great my physical therapist is here now, it’s time to get in the wheelchair. “Why can’t I just stay in bed for a while longer today?  You know us teenagers we need our beauty rest!” I say with a great big angelic smile on my face. “Sorry but you have to get up in your chair and then you can watch the big football game” she replies with a sweet smile. There goes the Nazi grabbing the remote and turning the television off, “Darnit!” I yell.

The lift is brought over and they begin putting the sling under me, which then attaches to the lift which will move me out of the bed and into the chair. What a life for a teenager, a once strong athlete who now can’t move any part of his body below the neck. They get me situated and it is now time for exercise which also means that it’s time for my nurse to leave.  Noticing that she didn’t turn the television back on, as she leaves and I yell out playfully “see you tomorrow you fricken T.V. Nazi!”  I roll in laughter with my last torturous comment at her as she rushes out the door.
