SOLANGE - LOSING YOU

Listen, we are....

I'm not mad at you, love.  I am you.  We are the same.  Experience that.

This Song makes me smile (inside and out)!

Lawdy B......

That's all I got today.  Lawdy B!  Yet still smiling and looking forward.  :)

Invisibly Magnificent (Flash Back)

I am open.

Vulnerable to this time and space.

Restless nights seem to become more.

I see not until now.

I have done it again.

This cycle is on repeat.

Just Stop!

Just Stop!

Yet I remain the ghost.

Invisibly magnificent.

Intelligent.

Weak.

Those eyes, that smile.

You.

This cycle is on constant repeat.

And Like a thief, you take my breathe.

My beat.

My life.

I do not want this.

I feel helpless.

Hopeless.

Afraid.

Blinded by your energy.

Your glory.

I stand before you……… empty.

Yet full of you.

In my eyes, a ghost.

Again, restlessness pours down.

Confused and ashamed.

I become an infant in your glory.

If I make it thru again,

I will give anything.

Anything not to feel.

Not to breathe.

Not to cry.

Not to have this restlestness.

To be this ghost.

Your rest is endless.

I'm not as lucky.

But I am invisible.

Magnificent.

Confused.

Lost.

A child.

I acknowledge this cycle of repeat.

I press stop.

I want this not.

I can't.

And somehow won't.

You owe me this.

You owe me nothing.

I lay.

Wide awake.

Open.

Vulnerable.

A ghost created by me.

Dreams. Realities. Zombies? (Flashback)

Sometimes,
We become so confused.
We are so alone.
That we begin to see things that are not real.
Everything becomes nothing.
Yet nothing becomes an obsession.
We wrestle with what we can not see.
What we can not touch.
It becomes our reality.
We become zombies.
Trapped in dreams and hopes.
No Sleep.
No Life.
Realization is a distant past.
Maybe the future.
Tell me.....
Please.
Am I still dreaming?
Are you there?

WOW.... How sad (indeed) it is to be ignorant.

Just listened to a "religious" man (a preacher.... LOL!) attempt to bring down another persons religion.  Don't get me wrong, I wasn't shocked at all.  I even started to set him up on the right path and arm him with facts not regurgitated nonsense, but then I thought.... "enjoy".  And yes, he is a big ole christian with all his inappropriateness, judgments and ignorance in tact.  Not that all religious people are ignorant or tactless judgmental residue, um... but he definitely is not exactly connected to the truth (facts).

Seriously, I just thought, as he continued to talk aimlessly sordid, this is what "the people" get dressed up every Sunday to hear - to see.  W.O.W.  (wow).

Enjoy!

Life

I'm watching this movie and I'm thinking but not thoughts.  Its way deeper than that, like an awareness.  Three movies in 2 days and I just realized that all the movies are pretty much the same.  As I sit and watch this latest movie (and of course I have already predicted the ending--yep, that's me, always waiting for the ending) I can't help but wonder:  "Did I pick the movies or did they pick me?"

You know, there are really no coincidences.

It's funny though, even if you are in the middle of a storm, you can suddenly become so calm.  Everything becomes crystal clear.  The pettiness dissolves.  There's nothing left but everything and nothing more than this moment of clarity.

This one question remains that life continues to pose yet no answer is required:  "Did you learn the lesson yet?  Or shall we begin it again with greater intensity?"

I reflected for a brief second and then smiled...... "yes, I have".

Suddenly.... an unexpected ending.

Once upon a time there lived this boy who gave his all but his all wasn't good enough so he stopped. And then the world stopped.

(1 of 2) I've been thinking. Actually thinking to much. What does life have to offer. I've been searching and no one is listening. Anyone out there? Anyone

(2 of 2) listening?

Everlasting.... Never

I think about the life that I have today.  I would have never imagined in a 100 years that I would be at this place in my life.  It's funny how we are so busy planning, that we forget that we those be dreams, come big changes.  So here I am, at a place of change.  Heading right down the fork in the road and I realized that we always get exactly what we asked for.  I never wanted to be burdoned by things or places or thoughts or expression.  Now it's funny, I'm getting exactly what I asked for and I initially failed to realize it.  "Ask and you shall receive".... that phrase I always remember.  At first thought, I think, which way to turn, which way to go.  Then I re-evaluate that thought and realize that I already know what to do.  I always did.

Step 1for me is realizing that when I ask for something, often it means that I MUST give something up to make room for the new.  This is the step that I currently exist.  I remain optimistic.  But I know that I already am.  I always had what I asked for, I just needed to accept it.  I just needed to rememeber that there is no separation between me and that never ending power.  I just had to remember to tap into that power and ask, then accept it because it already is.

I have also had to accept over these last 2 years that there are those who are true and those that were meant to be seasonal.  I was meant to learn from those seasonal relationships, appreciate them for what they are and then let it go without malice but joy of that very experience.  This makes me truly blessed.

Nothing is meant to last forever and change is inevitable.  For 2 years, I was in a cocoon state.  There are some who probably believe that I was being shady, but I will say that I am not.  There are those that will say that I have remained sad and unmotivated for 2 years and again I say, I have not.  I was in between 2 worlds:  The "now" and the suspended state of sleeping while awake....

But at last, I am awake now and ready to move forward and walk through the fire.
