I Love You.
“you want to keep
the blood and the milk hidden
as if the womb and breast
never fed you”

“I call them:
my sisters, goddesses and the moon.
I tell them they glow more radiant
with each passing spring and monsoon.
We have loved each other through the pain, through the forests of crueler hearts
and refused to tear each other apart,
even though we were all taught in subtle ways
from an early age
to hate one another.
We defy it by naming each other holy.
Defend one another with a primal fury.
Tell ourselves, our daughters and our mothers,
together, we will write better stories to tell.
Oceans to love.
Skies to fly.”

33 years ago I was in relationship with an older man. We were together for 7 years, I thought we would be married … instead he had an affair and even bought her a house, he was bored with me.
At first, I was extremely hurt, angry, betrayed. I questioned my value, once again, as it was rejected by one I loved, once again.
I had to move out, I lost my job, my dog was murdered, and I became homeless, living in my car. It was an extreme low point in my life.
Beginning: I had deep love for a man who could not love me.
Middle: I worked through my jealousy and hurt, found that love still existed in my heart for him.
Present: He is my best friend, longest known friend, once lover, now brother, and guardian.
Love does not end, unless we choose to kill it. Even through betrayal and abandonment, if we can remember the love, nurture it even when our heart is breaking, the love will transform, become something else, different, yet still powerful.
When our heart breaks, it is only expanding … and trust me, I know how it can put one into a spiritual dark well, and it can take a long time to climb out into the sun once more …. but expand, you will.
If you have been betrayed, rise above it and remember the love. Never forget the love. Perhaps this one is not meant to be lover, but is more compatible as friend. And should they choose to walk away, release them …. it brought necessary growth, in disguise.
My longest known friend? He now considers me to be his best friend. And I’m living in the house he bought for the woman who interjected herself into my relationship. And she knows I’m living here …..
It does not pay to break up relations. It does no good on the karmic trail to cause heart break for a sister, or brother. It does not do any good for self to take take take from another. It only prolongs the suffering that must come from such actions.
Be aware. Take care. Remember the love, regardless of those who bring suffering.
The controllers of this world subliminally program minds to perpetuate situations of suffering. We must not allow them to maintain this control.
Remember the love, feed its memory.
Do not attach to the suffering, for it is you who generates the energy of sadness and it is you who are feasted upon by the energetic vampires when you do.
“She isn’t a kind person” he said.
I do not agree.
She is beautiful, inside and out.
She is not a door mat, or an inexperienced, untested girl who needs to be “led”.
She’s a survivor who has raised good men and women.
She is a nurturer, with skills others lack.
She most certainly IS kind.
She is there when others need her.
She is strong.
She is one who needs a partner, not a master.
She is my sister.
Don’t forget it.
And don’t bring your shit talk of her to my door.
Every new note creates a beautiful memory.
Time and space fall away like leaves.
We may have pain, but we are beautiful energy.
We got a gift, we got love, let it go.
Thank you.
I know the spine is a tricky thing … its health can inhibit or prohibit beneficial work.
Sometimes I think the damages acquired throughout life are intentional, not by the one who experiences them, but by those who wish to inhibit progress.
It is clear that all thoughts and desires are not merely belonging to an individual, but to those who implant the thought or desire, again, in an attempt to inhibit progress.
Some may say this is an attempt to shuck responsibility.
A child cannot be responsible for its own programming …. this is an implant, or training, which continues throughout life in various forms, with the use of various abilities and technologies.
This comes in two general categories … those who wish to control life, and those who wish to be free, and seek the freedom and harmony of the whole.
All one need do is examine the heart. Does the thought or action resonate with the innermost part of the being? If not, it does not belong there and can be thought of as a manipulation effort.
This is my perspective, and I understand it does not align with that of many.
My purpose with this particular post is to acknowledge those who understand, and to tell you how greatly I appreciate your efforts to bring about harmony in this world, in that of other worlds, and in the hearts of life itself.
You are undervalued and misunderstood by most. To be truthful, I myself have difficulties understanding that which I was never exposed to as a youth, or otherwise.
Yet, I see you.
And I love you very much.
Thank you.
But my best friends are DOGS.
If you’re looking for trouble, I’d be very careful if I were you.
