it’s been a wonder full day… i’m grateful to be going to sleep

It’s July 1978. I must have had a job at the time because when I got home, my mom lectured me about the fact that i had lied to her, and now she couldn’t celebrate the day with me… a lesson i am still slowly learning the importance of. i think eddie money opened; followed…

Hmmmmm……. I am grateful for the day that was: today. I’m grateful for the two moms and three spotted fawns that calmly grazed outside the kitchen window… I’m grateful for another evening checking in with my brother. I’m grateful for my daughter asking my for a favor; ’cause that’s what fathers are for. I’m grateful…

Today I am grateful for work… It’s taken me a while I think… some years, perhaps – but I finally am getting back to my love of labor. Well, I’ve never been out of love with labor – I just forgot how much I do love it. Onward:

I am grateful for evolution; the natural process of nature continually moving toward perfection. I have faith the process is completed, in the place beyond time and space… It seems a difficult journey. Yet its natural process, because it is natural, can only arrive at a single destination: eternity. It is our lack of knowing…

Even when I was at my lowestWith nothing left to giveI gave to you my allSo that you may, still live And even when you plunderedI would feel the rainAnd underneath your dying breathI breathed in your pain You squander looks and attitudeA quibble on the floorRolling blankly ‘cross the kitchenBlithely out the door Even…

Today I spent a solid two hours at least, broken up through the day, attempting to give myself prescribed medication with a syringe. I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Two friggin’ hours… there’s a solid chance that it isn’t something for me to be doing. We’ll see what tomorrow brings… I’m grateful for the…

It’s July 1st. This one is easy… it’s easy four times a year… so easy, that every day is truly easy. There’s a birthday every day; every single day. Today is Habibi’s. Global traveler. Imaginative warrior. Loving heart / Piss and vinegar. She is so far beyond the imagined in so many ways. And yet,…

I rarely have a complete day; one in which… at the end, I feel complete. of course there is more I’d like to accomplish, a lot more I’d like to learn, and some imaginings I’d like to experience… if today is my last day, it ended well. Why is today so complete? The only thing…

Tonight I am grateful for my voice; full & timid. Asleep and alive. I am grateful for the Spirit communicating while I survive… I sing. I shudder. I fall.Don’t really know what I’m doing…At allAnd though the wind blows fiercelyYou still will hear my call And tonight I’m only grateful for my voice. The words…

“There is nothing I love better…”~ Alicia Keys ~ I have had wonderful experiences of sharing intimacy recently; expanding my ideas and comforts with what I believed intimacy was… Part of what I learn is to be vulnerable; to keep withdrawing my attempts of safety – control. To give until i’m down to the hardened…
