State of the world in my perception...

There is so much beauty in the world.  Today I chose to see more beauty than I did yesterday...that was easy. : )

More, more, more!

Namaste.

Money can buy physical comfort; not happiness.

...so often near.

Night is dark,

Sober mountain air.

Sadness illuminates the stars.

Here I lie, Alone in sleep.

A delicate moment.

A timeless clock of thought;

Image upon image feeds darkness.

Here I lie, Alone in sleep.

Wondering what went wrong.

Unfocused journeys, obsessive pursuits.

What is this darkness to be?             

             

- a shaft for thoughts to run their course?

Pulsating. Conflicting. Silencing.

Here I lie, Alone in sleep.

A fruitless tree, waiting to die.

The journey began to end,

And ends to begin again.

Here I lie, Alone in sleep.

Troubled blood courses my veins.

Forging through perfection,

Searing scars leave remnants.

Here I lie, Alone in sleep.

Tense, certain for Light.

Walking through sadness, I fall deep.

Darkness ensues as I lie alone at His feet.

There I lie

The implications of kitty litter....

From 2013...


The gritty haze stuck to the soles of my bare feet as I walk across the cool bathroom tile.  I wipe my feet off with the towel on the floor and something in my mind begins to click.

"Sweep it up, sweep it up ,sweep it up!"

 Determined to fight the urge to leave it be and just go to bed, I rush to the hall closet to fetch the broom.  

     sweep.......sweep.......sweep  

Paloma Faith whispers in the distance as I realize I could  be that person.  

     sweep.......sweep.......sweep

That guy that just gave up and let the kitty litter take over, let the dishes sit in the sink, left his laundry on the floor.  

     sweep.......sweep.......sweep

But why?  

     sweep.......sweep.......Huh

          sweep.......sweep.......sweep   

I guess sometimes I forget how so sad I can be.

     sweep.......sweep.......sweep

          sweep.......sweep................................................................sweep.

A night on the town; alone in my living room.

Tonight, Friday night.  I stood, eyes closed, facing the column in the entryway, leaning in closely, drawing upon the strength of architecture to keep balanced.

It was there; standing tall, eyes closed, facing this white column; I release a deep breath.

I dreamt of a great dancer.
A dancer with calves of steel.
A dancer with the shoulders of a greek deity.
A dancer with great balance and agility.

I danced as the young Prince in the Nutcracker.
I performed a contemporary modern piece with Neve Campbell.
Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor met me inside the magical elephant at the Moulin Rouge.  I always thought that scene was missing something without me. : )
    The skies glistened as we spoke of Truth, Beauty, Freedom and most of all Love.
             and of course, we sang "Our Song" atop the elephant close to the midnight sky.

Bernadette Peters joined my for a playful version of "Happy Days are Here again.." Friends and family joned us for a night cap.  MaMuse bid us farewell performing "Chico Gospel"  

Tonight, Friday night.  I stood, eyes closed, facing the column in the entryway, leaning in closely, drawing upon the strength of architecture to keep balanced.

It was delightful.
