And so it begins again. I have no idea what I will write, but I will. I've grown a bit weary of pushing energy news day after day. I do it well, but I do a lot well.

I have been neglecting my pens.  I have two handcrafted pens now. The fast ideas will probably land here. The slow savory ones on the crisp paper I adore. My beloved knows me well. ( Read more... )

I thought for a time I was done with LJ and yet I could never bring myself to cancel the account. There are a myriad of memories here.

Things are good. I love my family, partner, kindred and job. I love myself more each day. I love my life. I never thought I would be able to say that sincerely. For years I had myself convinced such was out of reach ( Read more... )

Life In A Love by Robert Browning

Escape me?
Never-
Beloved!
While I am I, and you are you,
So long as the world contains us both,
Me the loving and you the loth,
While the one eludes, must the other pursue.
My life is a fault at last, I fear-
It seems too much like a fate, indeed!
Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed-
But what if I fail of my ( Read more... )

For you ~

If only I were a clever woman, I could describe to you my gorgeous bird, how you unite in yourself the beauties of form, plumage, and song!

I would tell you that you are the greatest marvel of all ages, and I should only be speaking the simple truth. But to put all this into suitable words, my superb one, I should require a voice far more ( Read more... )

There is yet a day when I do not wonder at  how I am so ready to surrender to you so completely.
Therefore Today's letter reads:

And now listen to me in turn. You have touched me more profoundly than I thought even you could have touched me - my heart was full when you came here today. Henceforward I am yours for everything....

My words stayed, today's letter reads:

My Dearest Friend,

...should I draw you the picture of my heart it would be what I hope you would still love though it contained nothing new. The early possession you obtained there, and the absolute power you have obtained over it, leaves not the smallest space unoccupied.

I look back to the early days of our ( Read more... )

You bid me not to write
As such suffers the day before night.
But the words will not be my own
So what harm to honor be sown?
To challenge a creature such as I
Is to try and lessen the Moon.
Passion is as water
To sustain the hearts of fools.

~Destiny

And so today's letter reads:

Longing

By day I shall be ( Read more... )

That is all.

I am so enamored with the original film that I have been simultaneously dreading and salivating for the release of the sequel. I did not have the opportunity to catch it in theaters due to time constraints and the limited release here in Oklahoma, but was certain to set it on my Netflix cue well in advance so it arrived only day after the national ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday Mom. I hope you have at last found some semblance of Peace.

Sometimes I see your face,The stars seem to lose their place...
Why should I cry for you? Why would you want me to?
And what would it mean to say, That, "I loved you in my fashion"?
