looking forward to more of this...

Come on home...

"When we think that something is going to bring us pleasure, we don’t know what’s really going to happen. When we think something is going to give us misery, we don’t know. Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. We try to do what we think is going to help. But we don’t know. We never know if we’re going to fall flat or sit up tall. When there’s a big disappointment, we don’t know if that’s the end of the story. It may be just the beginning of a great adventure. Life is like that. We don’t know anything. We call something bad; we call it good. But really we just don’t know."

Oh Wow

I miss you terribly. I long for you every single day.
I guess I'm getting kind of nervous/scared for saturday. My stomach is a bit in knots. My mind keeps going towards it. And I am TRYING to not give saturday that energy. Working very hard on keeping that energy open to whatever comes. Just like I am working to allow my own energy to flow more naturally again, to go with the flow, become more organic and soft.

I am lighting my alter each morning.
No matter what ever happens. I love you. I Love You. You are a goddess and my moon. <3

I miss...

I miss the days when we did things creative together. Like journal. Or this blog. Or take pictures.

That journal is sitting in your desk at home. The last time you wrote in it was before Burning Man 2010.......and we never even got to go over the entries together. There are still things I cant read in there, and would like to know what they say if we ever find the time.

I hope someday, maybe, you find the want to write in that journal again. I think about it often.

As cheesy as the video is....

What I really want to do with you is just be silly. And read. And talk. And love. And cook and eat, and grow. and play....
