True

Only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth. And that is not speaking.....Naomi Wolfe

Listening to jazz on a Sunday morning.
Queen Latifah is singing Poetry Man.
The day starts right.
Maybe I can make some art today.
Maybe go to the library...my books are due.
What kind of bibliophile geek works in a library all week
then spends time in a library on the weekend?
That's right.
I'm one.

I have a need for oxygen.
Wildman Lee is FUMAR in my house.
Throw open the windows!!!!
Once he was my poetry man.
He is not anymore....but those years of devotion
make him my man regardless of smoke screen.

Arizona's beautiful winter has arrived.
Time in nature would get me right;
Gardening,putzing around the yard,
a long rambling walk perhaps.

One way or another
today...
I will enjoy my moments.
By myself...
I'll stop briefly,
take pauses,
just be.

What is true for you today?

  4. I love your expression of thoughts today..what is true for me today is how wonderful and perfect this body of mine is for me. How it has weathered the many abuses the medical team has put it through in order to get me to a place of wellness and today I honour my body and each and every cell within because today I feel reborn! I am kind to my body and respect it in a way that I have never before!My body my temple.
    love and light aNNa xo
