Until next year... See ya May!

Man, that was fast. What the...? Thought we said "Hello!" just yesterday we were flipping over the calender. It's been fast and furious, Spring with so much promise, anticipating what will be, not quite sure what that might be. A lot going on, nothing monumental... well maybe one or two things stand out. Growing pains occur, taking you by surprise, just when you think you got it all figured-0ut. Then someone or something, a situation, relationship taps you on the shoulder and reminds you that you still gotta a lot to learn.

Thank you! You were good to me, hope I did right by you and we meet again with exuberance, excitement and and eagerness to take-on yet another season, a new time and chance to share light and love, laughter and life with those best suited to be on the receiving-end of such gifts.

I Remember YOU

The impact you made in my life is great. The indelible impression you leave me with is of substance and form. Yes, of course I remember you... the goodness, the merry making, fun-loving, grins & giggles, playing, working side x side, getting through the day in/day out, the longest nights, bone chilling mornings, dog-day afternoons, reality bites, blistering lessons learned, bumps & bruises along the way... Yup, we sure did go through this & that good time, bad moods that got ugly & too beautiful for words- experience's, the best & worst of times, blasts of bitterness, remorse, redemption... and repeat. So many moments linger on and on in my memory banks... words & deeds said & done in haste, with hardened hearts... that softened quickly and thawed even quicker with forgiveness... the holding on to the love and respect and letting the bullsh*t go.

Yeah, I remember you well, the memories that make me glad we were ever part of each other's lives. How very important you are to me still. I tell you sincerely; you raised the bar, took it all to another level and played a major role in my big picture.

~ I think of you endearingly, with a respect and admiration that can not be measured. Know that you have a standing reservation in the sacred place in my heart and mind, where only love and peace reside. I'll leave the light on for you dear one, forever ~

... And you are cleared for take-off!

Very fine, very fine indeed. Hi there! What Up? How'z it hangin and damn... it's been a while.

We are back in the saddle again and back in action. I drafted a few blogs as I ironed-out the creases of the wonderful and mad cap world of blogsville. It's been a good little chunk of time since we've connected, naturally a lot of life happend while busy making other plans... to borrow a John Lennon quote. As I said somewhere before in my bloggity corner of the world: "Hope to have a good time in this neighborhood." Join me, won't you?

Let's Do That, Shall We?

5/10/2009 You live and let live. Love and if your lucky... be loved. You give and not always get... going about your life. Then out of no where, without warning and sometime very much forewarned, things go south, calamity ensues, the pavement stops in the middle of a perfectly good road. What was once a smooth ride takes an unplanned turn, jagged and razor sharp, turbulent as a bolt of lightening cracking, out of no where. What to do, say, think? How do you react? Where do you start? When does it end? Who will understand?

It's matters a great deal that you move. Make a move, massive or minute, subtle as a dew drop, small as a flea or big as a John Deere earth-mover ploughing through a huge hill of fresh dirt... purposeful, poised for perhaps the fight of your life, braced and equipped with an appropriate plan, necessary tools on the ready, measures taken to bear your burden, handle and empty the liquid heat from thc crucible accordingly.

You are on your way to yet another victory, another summit conquered, the challenge met. You look back better or worse for the wear and tear, not completlely certain you did everything you could? Did you leave too much dust behind or know without a doubt that, some how... goodness remains in your wake. It's done, another obstacle overcome until the next one comes along.

May Day's

5/2/2009 Ah yes May, the very merry month of May. Each new day springs forward eagerly, bright-eyed and bushy tailed. Blades of grass grow exuberantly out of the earth yet patiently in slow motion, strong, simple, subtle and graceful as the swan in the middle of a pond, prestine and undisturbed. Trees stretch their trunks and stiff arms as the brittle branches surge into maturity fortified by the fresh season. Another one of four seasons is called upon by a waning winter, to take over and posture itself for center stage in the sequence of time. Each day bearing gifts of new life, hope a constant and always eternal as possibilities sprout lavishly. May unfolds as the horizon waits to meet and greet those who cannot resist nor deny it's powerful presence resplendent with transitions, changes, challenges and yet more chances to win, lose, laugh, live, love, lounge, lead, luxuriate in, long for and look forward to > what's next.
