“And I’d give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be And I don’t want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life Cause sooner or later it’s over I just don’t want to miss you tonight Chorus
And I don’t want the world to see me ...

Course Correction
I’m trying my best to stay strong. Sometimes it takes not looking at something you long to look at, but it hurts when you do look at it. I’ve had to turn away and allow things to go on behind me that I’m no longer willing to see or touch. this preserves my sanity as well as my happiness. “Forgiveness is the gift you give yourself.” I’ve heard this quoted so many different times and it’s now...

Laid Back
What’s the difference between being complaisant and being content? I feel as though I am a pretty laid back person and that is something that’s often pointed out about me. Some people think I don’t care and some have even tagged me passive. That couldn’t be further from the truth. I am just not the most outwardly emotional person. I take things as they come and deal...

8-5
I’m stuck in the 8-5.
I’m like a child sent to her room, crying in the doorway, longing to get out.
I’m stuck behind a desk, stuck in a chair.
I’m stuck in the 8-5, watching the clock, fighting to get out.

American Beauty...Raw, naked, and real
Very true…
“This isn’t life, it’s just stuff. And it’s become more important to you than living. Well, honey, that’s just nuts.” – ‘Lester Burnham’ (Kevin Spacey, American Beauty)
I remember seeing this movie for the first time and how my brother called me in from another room just to watch the very end and listen to the main character, Lester Burnham, give his monologue. We watched it again...

It’s funny reading “facts” about women, when I feel that I’ve broken the mold. I recently heard three “facts” that I found to be very interesting …
“Women love to talk. Silence intimidates them and they feel a need to fill it, even if they have nothing to say.” Me, I’m not intimidated by silence and I most definitely don’t try to fill the air with nonsense just to fill it. I most likely write...

Just One of Those Days
Ever had one of those days where you feel like your hanging in the balance between something, but you can’t quite figure out what it is? Today IS one of those days. I feel all out of sorts like something is about to happen, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. I like ordinary days better. Where ther’s no feeling, no out of sorts, just ordinary. That’s usually when the good stuff happens. ...

Quiet Please...
Does silence have a meaning? Perhaps, it just is what it is. Is it ever truly silent? You can try to lock sound out with a door, window…perhaps, even the darkness, but it still finds its way back in. What of the mind? Our private domain of the thoughts. Its linked with soul, where we find our will and emotions. It can never be silenced. You can think around what you don’t wish to think about, but...

Original Me
Just trying to be who I am. Eventhough, I don’t 100% know who that is sometimes. If I keep my mouth shut, it doesn’t mean that I’m ignoring you or what you have to say is not important to me. If I state my opinion, it doesn’t mean I’m trying to judge or give advice where it’s not wanted. This earth is full of so many different types of people. There are days that I feel like I can get along with...

Someone to Watch Over Me
This is one of my favorite songs. Well, I love Gershwin…period. When this song is sang by the right person , such as, Blossom Dearie, it flows so freely and it’s so easy to understand it’s meaning.
“There’s a saying old, says that love is blind Still we’re often told, “seek and ye shall find” So I’m going to seek a certain lad I’ve had in mindLooking...
“A closed mind is a good thing to loose.”

Wish
Today is one of those days where I wish I had the lung capacity of a dolphin. I would love to just dive under and chill and hit repeat all day long until I’m tired of it. Why don’t we get a day off from life? I don’t mean die, but just a day where we’re not constantly moving and existing…just, a quick break, I’m exhausted.

Love these guys… Pretty powerful song with a lot of meaning. Take the time to listen and really listen…

Imagine
“One” is a dream, “world peace” is a dream…Will we ever see that day? We all have free will and rather we like it or not, there are still haters among us. Those who hate for no apparent reason at all. I believe, like the Dalai Lama, that “…kindness is always an option,” but a lot of people do not believe this. I don’t want to live each day...

Beauty
Beauty. What is it? How deep does it go? Once you touch the deep, do you find the source? Do you find the pure? I’ve always heard that “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” but what does that mean? Does it mean that one can be beautiful to one, but unpleasant to look at to another? Or, that a place or thing can have the same effect? I once went to a half way house in New...

The Golden Rule
“One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.”
This rule is truly golden to me and it’s not one that I take lightly. Am I perfect? Absolutely not. Do I make mistakes? Absolutely. I just feel that as human beings, we are all on common ground. Some, think we are not. I don’t feel that accomplishment, education, race, sex, religion, etc. places any one person above...
