I live in suburbia. I am married with child and cat. I drive a chevy. I am not a great cook. I do not have a fascinating life on the exterior. I never travel. I do not read or listen to music. I am not overly educated or wise or smart. I am getting wrinkles, a few grey hairs; I am not buff. My closet even ventures latley on the mundane.
How can these things be?
Because life happens in the blanks.
With coffee in the morning with Scott when I am still grumpy but kinda not, when my hair is a mess and were all in jammies
When Hope blabbers and giggles and crawls and is a mommasgirl
When Scott is patient with me against all odds and I thank God for small miracles
When Sharms confesses a struggle and I remember I can't forget to pray for her
When patiently continue has meaning, and its hard, and rich, and real
When Aarons gone and I still have mourning to do
The blanks can get pretty busy actually- and its all I can do to keep up. Best and All is alot

4 seasons
what i mean is,
isn't it great to feel new
when it is snowing
when cheeks are pink
when change brews courage
when dawn is real
there is a time to break down and a time to build up

impromtu unchosen hiatus
heres to wolfberry goji juice, organic rooibus tea, omega 3-6-9, acupuncture needles, massage therapists, rapid eye movement psychotherapists, unemployment, diaphramatic breathing, yoga 101, green veggie juice, red veggie juice, & pink juice x2. heres to sleeping in and napping and still needing moments of rest, heres to ying and yang and om and still noticing my nerves writhe, heres to my mental helmet and egg shaped energy protector and still my ears beg for mercy. Time and Patience. Time and Patience are my alpha and omega(low caps). I don't want your yelling, your bass, your T.V., your news, your reality sleeze shows, your speeding in construction zones, your botox, your implants, hair peice, empty nest. i don't want your traffic, trash talk, proud jaunt, hard heart, i don't want your fluorescent light bulbs, comet smelling sterile plugged in buzz electric magnetic nightmare. i want still, and breathe and nature, and quiet, and God and peace, and protection, and gentle, and slow, and heal, and new, and balance. heres to my earned tomorrow. Time and Patience... and debt

reality
No I am not your other half, nor would I want to be a replica of you. Thank you for reminding me of my own authenticity, and my own irreplaceable power. I wish you lessons and failure and victory. I wish you faith.

creepy
If I am creepy because I have courage to be honest and put myself on the line and do what is needed and not waste my time then I will take the label. Mostly what I think is creepy is people circulating the earth who believe themselves to be right and honest and have not even begun to understand the first steps of respect for others. I think it is creepy that you have read a bounty of books on what it is to be superior and you are an empty shell. You are wholly selfish and remarkedly rude. Your kind I do not need. Your kind I pity. Liars are chicken shits. It takes courage to be honest, it takes integrity to do and be what you say you are. You know nothing of honest or integrity. You know nothing of effort.
Freedom from you is a gift not sought but priceless.
You have never burned a boat in your life.

so sick of people who don't know why they think what they think
if you are going to believe in something or not believe in something, if you are going to agree with something or not, if you are going to live by something, or choose to not live by it; it is best that you figure out that thing that you so eagerly hold on to, or what you so adamantly run from. use your brain and educate yourself as to what exactly it is to your best ability, and than you may say that you are or are not a part of something or agree or disagree with it. left- over opinions do not count and only spread ignorance and false sense of self.

IF I AM EVER THE BEING WHO SPEAKS LOFTY GOOD INTENTIONTED INTELLECTUAL COURAGEOUS WORDS AND IS ACTUALLY A HYPOCRITE BECAUSE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND MY OBLIGATION AS A HUMAN BEING TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO LIVE UP TO MY WORDS THAN IGNORE ME AND PASS BY BECAUSE MY LIGHT IS FALSE AND MY WORDS ARE EMPTY RYTHEM; MY EXISTANCE MARRED. IF WE ARE NOT MORE THAN OUR CIRCUMSTANCES, IF OUR INTEGRITY ONLY REMAINS INTACT WHEN NOT TRIED THAN WE ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A DEAD FISH FLOATING DOWN THE CURRENT. VICTORY DOES NOT OCCUR ALWAYS NOR IS IT EASY; BUT VICTORY CAN BE THE ONLY GOAL. THINGS DO MATTER AND NIHILISM WAS NEVER.

betterment
No one is perfect, not me, not you, not my boss. No job is perfect, not mine, not yours. No life is perfect, not mine, not yours. No personality is perfect, no idea, no love, no story, no city, no country, no mind, no heart, no piece of Art, no song on the radio. Every moment/situation is a hodge/podge of variables and disorder. All we can do with all this imperfection and disappointment is hope for the best, assume the best, do our best, and leave it at that. Striving and hoping may not make anything better, but it is the purpose and desire for betterment that is valuable and soothing to our hearts/minds. Dwelling in cynicism and loss will provide nothing but itself.
