Lucky I Believe

Wonderful life.

Off To See The Wizard

California will lead the way. After my trip south to see my family and celebrate my mother's 90th, I realize how the Sunshine State is the great indicator. I am back safely in Alaska and I will stay for a while. I enjoyed the splendor of Santa Cruz, San Pablo, Petaluma, San Francisco, Carmel By The Sea and Big Sur. I prepare for a week in the Land of Oz without the Ruby Slippers. Wish me luck.

Rosemond Flies

I fly to see my family in California.
We meet for my Mother's 90th Birthday.
Last night I cried myself to sleep.
My heart is big and aching.
Joy and sorrow are my human experience.

Understanding

People are screwed up. Even the ones I adore. I'm healing from this awakening in Alaska. It's been humbling. Drawn to what isn't healthy or happy, I remember Beauty. Love with a tragic tone. I lift my eyes to heaven and close them. I smell a cold spring morning. The depth of love is endless. I am forgiveness and gratitude.

Wrestling With The Devil

I can say that when I saw this image, I knew I was wrestling with the devil. The devil within me. He's attractive, funny, sweet and dangerous. I was at a loss yesterday, until I reached out to nature and took it in. I clobbered myself with eye candy. Today, I feel like a layer has been lifted. It's still a full on battle, but I can create despite the energy required to fend off his snake like advances. Wish me strength.

Darkening Light

Fond farewells and salutations.
Spring brings with it the shroud of death.
The clinging fingers of our shadow side.
Do not wake the sleeping dogs today.
Hide your lovely sun away.
Open eyed and clear I will stand unafraid.
Knowing deep inside me beat the wings of a sweet bird.
Turning again, I am human, shallow and no words can
break the spell.
Only whispers of a prayer that my heart will dwell in heaven,
but recognize hell.

Let The Healing Begin

Speak to my Friend

I want to tell you I care and I am here for you.
Wait for me friend. Wait for me. I will get there.
I slam around and crash into life.
Oblivious to the slender thread of this breath.
Sweetness rules us. I rise and greet you happily.
So much so that I can easily tell you friend,
I love you, I love you, I love you.
This friday I wonder where you stand?
I want to share my mashed potatoes.
I could jump in my car and come see you.
I would gladly put on my boots and walk east.
We fly in our dreams and together float on the wind.
I want to present you with my gifts of star dust
and a friendship so deep that there is no bottom.
Wait for me. I will get there.
