marbles found, canon 20 d
ive had so much to say but just havent been able to put
it in any kind of format. like those folks who have been abducted by
aliens and they wake up in a jelly sac yoke ~ thats how it has seemed.
not the alien part, just the inabilty to break through.
i have gone through a major transformation the past couple months
and maybe thats what happens. newly born, not able to form
the words of my heart.
here is the best i can do.
i finally feel my sadness has lifted.
after two years i no longer feel the dread.
i think i realized it when i found myself returning to
the things that used to light my fire.
exploring little places, connecting with strangers,
playing with my camera, drawing, and finally and most
importantly~ feeling passion and magic for my life,
for the simple, the strange, the wild.
forgiving and forgetting the things that just dont matter
anymore.
planning trips to the ocean and back to italy.
not minding sleeping alone.
actually feeling good that i am now divorced.
things like that.
all those marbles i thought i lost...
now found. and placed back nicely
in my messy
little head.

It’s a snow day today.
And I should be out shoveling but instead im snuggling down in bed with my cats…
Bohemian Girl
tagged me awhile back
and im just now getting around to it.
Okay, she wants: 6 weird things about myself.
(How easy is that? im the weirdest thing I know.)
1. ribs, (the kind you eat) really freak me out.
I cant stand the smell of them, the look of them, or to watch anyone eat them.
2. I move worms off the driveway so they don’t get smushed.
3. I have a major crush on Christopher Walken.
4. I tend to avoid stores that have bad lighting.
5. I sleep with 5 pillows,3 blankets, and a large polar bear. It makes the bed seem not so empty.
6. i love to trespass in places that say no trespassing.

a bad jesus...

mary above the stove, canon 20d
hey mary.
you know i try...
i try to be loving and compassionate
and supportive and understanding.
but im really not built for the "turn
the other cheek" thing. and its even worse when
someone goes after the ones i hold dear to my
heart.
(i would be a horrible jesus.)
(i would be a horrible mary.)
i wish there were more stories about how you and the family
handled really frustrating, mean people. because i know you
were surrounded by them... like what you did when you tried with
ever fiber of your being to be loving and someone looked at you and said,
"Shut Up B****" (or whatever was disrespectful back in your day).
im just curious what you did when doing your best wasnt cutting it.
