When you blame others, you give up your power to change.
-- Dr. Robert Anthony





i wish i had a novel,
for every past life i've lived
flashes of comfort in familiarity
shapes of beauty, colors of lessons
and a taste of life leave this belief behind

What I wouldn't give to be a goddess protecting the trees Posted by Hello

9.20.2004

a whirling woman of strength
vibrant and definite
embellished with heart

dancing out alone,
and i am the one called back
a breath of fresh air

still awakened with a smile
i am the one chosen
loved for who i am

see me go
whirling and singing

home in a puff
and all i can offer is a chore or two completed
away from the cause
but a solution to the problem
do what i can

it's amazing the way light bulbs come on
the way connections are made and revelations born
let's take "jack" for example
he's not my enemy
he is a standing of example of everyone who's gone
i await his apology for not realizing i'm worth it
waiting for him to apologize for everyone
why do i care about "jack" ?
cuz he's the last to go- and the hardest... only because
he's the least likely to admit i changed the life he lives, for the better
and certainly not the one to make up for ... anything
and so, i'm looking at the strength attached to this next level
what actualization
what a connection, and a step to my new lease of self

life is SO worth living
so worth being in every moment

the connections are worth it
wearing emotion on both my sleeves, is worth it
tommy shows a hand gesture:
that is, somewhere above the shoulders and below the hair line
and say's i'm that
and i am greatful, also
