Posted: 5/5/2008 10:19:50 PM | | Your friend buries her child and you remember how hard it is to do this, all the ways you grieved, and didn't, and then you hear about a philosopher, Derrida, and find one line - How do you mourn the part of your person living inside yourself? You don't. | |

Posted: 5/6/2008 1:33:42 AM | | giddy...thrill of doing new things. stepping past fear and plunging in. stop overthinking! look without leaping. this joy giggling up inside of me is reward enough to brave anything. If nothing else comes of it, this won't be a moment I look back on and think "If only I'd...." | |

Posted: 5/6/2008 2:42:58 AM | Feasting on words of a friend ... offering hope where there was no hope ... showing a path that was just beneath your feet ... but you couldn't see it ... bring light back into the word of darkness ... all of this ... in 50 words or less ....   | |

Posted: 5/8/2008 10:16:35 PM | Sitting here reading, feeling the emotions through words of people I’ve never met. Sometimes distance isn’t what it seems. Guess its time to head to bed with a smile, a laugh, a tear, and a dream in my head. Nite nite my cerebral cyber land friends. Hugs to You All  | |

Posted: 5/8/2008 10:22:55 PM | There are three states of mind I'm concerned with:
Amnesia, Euphoria, and Ecstasy.
Amnesia is not knowing who you are, and wanting desperately to find out.
Euphoria is not knowing who you are, and not caring.
Ecstasy is knowing exactly who you are, and still not caring. | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 3:07:24 AM | no better way to see it all , a look above ,a look around,
to know why we can feel so small, following origin of every sound,
grasping suns in total splendor,
trace the thought as received from sender..
huddling within, without control..
turning light of mind upon your soul | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 7:11:20 AM | | such comfort 'you' being here brings... read sunny words sprinkled with ash that trancsends my very being...what a phenomenon...when life does what she will, your words bring delight, sorrow, pain, joy... adds deeper meaning to who i am becoming (for i will never arrive!)...i ponder, then smile | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 1:17:19 PM | | To feel safe…the simplicity of a hold, weight of a thigh, feet intertwined. Arms strong as they wrap around and palms warm against heartbeats. Eyes opened to a lucid dream, waking to a blissful feeling. After such windswept storms, feeling safe in such a harbor gives real reason to be… | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 5:15:34 PM | A safe harbor is the sailor's delight;
whose arm is it that binds the restless waves
and calms amid the rage
whose word the winds and waves submit
and walks upon the foaming waves?
thus, ventures beyond the harbor safe
a sailor whose trust is in he | |

Hold on as the winds blow and rain floows. Better, dryer days are ahead. Alive to restructure the future days. Hugs YOU!!! | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 4:55:00 AM | she turned 50
so the ol' crones got together
and did what we do
yosemite met us with her beauty
we clapped at the rushing falls
bear, deer, coyote and big-ass ravens
shared their time with us
my sisters
who're not born into
but became a part of
my family | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 3:31:57 PM | | It pains me when you're unhappy. I know the world can be cold, but I have enough love burning to warm you forever. I'll be your shelter. You are perfect and adored just the way you are. Anyone who thinks otherwise isn't worth your time, and certainly not your tears. | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 3:19:36 AM | | I don't ponder, wonder or wander in thought, I do it at will. A union of soul. So my heart can grow with every line. Forgiving, forgetting, forever. Tranquility with self! "Breathing in, smiling out"! Beaming from deepest delves. finding this road I now walk upon. Erasing the past history! | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 5:26:08 AM | | Rain-sodden summer. Musty bar on a slow sales, low sales village market day. Damp and downcast farmers slump over slow half pints, stretching out the money and the respite from the rain. "Terrible weather isn't it?", ventures the lone tourist, making conversation. "Ach" says Henry, deadpan, "sure it keeps the dust down." | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 1:29:15 PM | | I cook for you…garlic, salt, spices and love. So your tongue can taste my feelings for you. I am all of these flavors simmered with good intentions and heart. I taste it to make sure it tastes right. It's me… the essence of all my sensations cooked together…your gourmet delight. | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 6:43:42 PM | | I believe someone said the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I really didn't buy that until E's post. Taste is one of the senses that is underrated. | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 5:25:01 PM | emotions are walls without windows
shedding skin to grow , shedding pain
clearing the throat of your mind
what does your muse have to do
to get you to share
maybe you need to give her a break
find out what other sides are in
what other corners you can clear | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 6:00:07 PM | The key wasna giving gifts to austic and special needs souls. Could it have been in accepting the gifts...the pure genius that is offered so freely? Recieving the pure unadulterated love that reaches deeper into our souls than we fathom? Feeling sweet innocence reign over me, washing away our heartache.
