I've been functioning on so little sleep lately.  This last Monday I had absolutely ( Read more... )

 Why am I so unconditionally...............................................

The thing is, I don't know how I feel most of the time.  I most certainly don't know how to explain it.  All I know is this:  no one ever really knows.

There is an elderly man riding down my street on a tri-cycle.  And a breeze gently blowing through my hair.  There is good music pulsing through my ears.   And love all around me, if I look.  If I look up I can see a cascade of green leaves swaying with the rhythm of the wind.  If I look down, I can see my toes glossed with a pedal pink.  If I look ( Read more... )

 It's easy to feel lost.

I was feeling pretty pretty good.  And I thought I finally understood how to be free, like the birds and bees, like the wind in the trees.
