Why I'm a night owl

When the shadows
peak around corners
and you can hear
the time tick
with delight of being acknowledged
and
the feline's yawn
fills the room
that is when
you can hear the
voice of your
choosing
at last
someone you have missed
someone you had forgotten
someone you again want to know

Dreams and goals

Today arrived with thoughts of the future and the endless possibilities. It's time to get off my arse and make something happen. I can't just pretend I'm really living anymore.

I've made the first step toward one of my life dreams. We'll see if the universe will humor me - at least for awhile.

It's you...again

How is it
that you unwrap
that last hidden layer,
the one I put away
on a secret shelf
to shroud from
the sounds of strums?
It is you again
with your one word
gentlest of gestures
stirring that private
underground to the core.
You again like no other,
even as names appear
to distract and
hundreds of lines
may try and
thousands of characters
in white space inspire.
But how to forget
yours?
How to disremember
that open spirit
sweet in
the purest form?
How to dismiss
you --
ever so kind
ever so unavailable
you?
How?

Swooning over Cage

I've forgotten how much I love Nick Cage -- especially in Moonstruck.

How true it is

Ocean waves are one of my fave natural sounds

Back from Arizona. Sweeeeeet. A beautiful place and wide open space to collect your thoughts and get back in the groove. I found some peace at cathedral rock in Sedona and staying with a great friend was especially comforting.

the twouble with twitterwaaand

Twitter feels like a big black hole where you can only hear the sound of your own chirps, dying on the branch. My tweets get lost in the maddening, tweeting jungle. I think this video says it best (at least it's funny as hell:

Looming birthdays and the mind tricks they play

When I start to wonder about age and feel a tinge of "ouch," I just recall women in Hollywood who are older than me (Sarah Jessica Parker, Demi Moore, Diane Lane, Halle Berry).

They look fantastic. I know they can afford all the "stuff" but that doesn't change the date on their birth certificate.

Meanwhile, I feel pretty great. Birthday? Fo-getta-bout-it!

zzzz

Really super chilling this weekend. :) Catching up on sleep.

my professional life

Today arrived with some surprises - but I'm rolling with it. In my life, I've learned to be flexible and focus on what is in my control.
