That one place

There is a place 

Hidden for a time 

even from myself 

A place not everyone 

enters

cares to see 

or even sense

This sacred space

Caused my guarded walls to crumble

I hold no secrets here

This place was recently discovered 

and now shared

loving those in my life
grateful for the souls they are

finding some peace
to continue living fantastically

Euphoria

I fall short in the ability to explain my self. My words fail attempting to describe the euphoria you provide.


you take me to a place where it seems as if our souls have fused together for a moment.


Briefly , I know you; every pore, every pulse, every thought, every fear. As I learn more of who you are, I love you more.


For a moment, I am able to be me, vulnerable, loving, content . . . joyous that there is no need to hide.

Love Life~

I am here to seduce you into a love of life; to help you to become a little more poetic; to help you die to the mundane and to the ordinary so that the extraordinary explodes in your life.  

-  Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Naked

“It’s easy to take off your clothes and have sex. People do it all the time. But opening up your soul to someone, letting them into your spirit, thoughts, fears, future, hopes, dreams… that is being naked.”
— Rob Bell

Love and appreciation

Apparently I've been saying I love you and thank you too much.  


really?  


Get the fuck over it. 


I don't say it to hear it said back to me, though it is nice to hear.  I say thank you when I am grateful or appreciate what was said or done. 


There are people and things that remind me of the beauty and wonder of my life and this self expression is how I appreciate such things. 


I want to remember living my life well, even when times are tough. That's when I begrudgingly learn the most.  


I try not to take anything for granted, for I never know how anyone's day will end or if there will be a tomorrow.  


Here's to living fantastically, for nothing is accomplished without passion. 

Being seen

The feeling of being loved,
appreciated and wanted
while being naked to his loving eyes.


Seeking approval 
as he observes the the body I have
 the soul I am.


Longing for him to caress me in sin
drown me in his ecstasy
as I tremble from ancient rites. 

Age and Love

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age. 

Anais Nin

Yule

May you be filled with serenity 

on the shortest day and longest night 

May whatever despairs or sadnesses you carry 

be burned away by the returning sun

With each period of darkness there will be one of light

May you be surrounded by love, loved ones and laughter

May your home be filled with joy and warmth

Choose Peace

Rejoice in Life

Live for the beauty of living

May you take some time for yourself

Reflect on days both past and future

Grow

Become better

May you find tranquility within yourself

in the beautiful quietude of Winter

Revel in the return of the sun and the coming of longer days. 

As you bid farewell to the Holly King,

Under his blanket of snow,

Open your arms to the Oak King,

For the light he will bestow.

Warmest wishes and brightest blessing to you and yours

Always and in All Ways

Enjoy the silence ~

One of those moments where I wish there was someone here, right now, to talk with. Not a text, phone call, email or tweet....  a real person face to face. 

Everything inside of me is ferocious, passionate, and unrelenting in need of real substantial time.  

Not even creating art has been able to subdue my feelings. Unsuccessful in the attempt to temper them so they are easier for me to sort through. 

I don't mind being alone, this is just one of those moments when I need another person in the room. My list of those whom I contact in times like these is short, I can count them even though they are very busy~ especially this time of year.  I'll wait patiently for one of them to respond.  

Until then, I'll work through it as always. Thinking, sorting, cleaning up and locking away certain aspects of me that cause more problems than they are worth. It's always good to have a long talk with your shadow side, keeps one humble.  At least it does with me. 

I'm thinking that the universe is telling me to enjoy the silence, offering another lesson for me....  not that I enjoy it. 

Perhaps by the time they respond, the need will be gone, I'll have figured it out. Then we can all have a good laugh, as usual. 

Silence by Antoine-Augustin Préault  (1842)
