I Am Woman

Published July 20, 2020 by tindertender

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
‘Cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever gonna keep me down again

Oh yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong
(Strong)
I am invincible
(Invincible)
I am woman

You can bend but never break me
‘Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
‘Cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul

Oh yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong
(Strong)
I am invincible
(Invincible)
I am woman

I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin’ arms across the land
But I’m still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand

Oh yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can face anything
I am strong
(Strong)
I am invincible
(Invincible)
I am woman

I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman

Evening Culmination

Published July 10, 2020 by tindertender

Mistaking the giver … for the gift.

Where are you going?

When are you coming back?

I just want to see you again. Maybe my heart would mend.

The key to change …

I couldn’t see.

Standing in the rain, how can I keep a smile from my face?

Here comes sunshine.

Liquid sunshine.

Why do I move so slow? Will I ever know?

Maybe I’m selfish, the way it all breaks my heart.

You said goodbye and there isn’t any going back.

I need to feel the wind against my skin.

How does it feel?

The river doesn’t have a contract. It flows wherever it may.

I know how it feels to be the one on the front line.

I’m blessed by the ones who’ve loved me … and the ones who’ve kicked me out.

A new story emerges.

I’m going to find a shade tree and get off my feet.

Everything is going to be alright, even tho everybody’s uptight.

Just getting by.

RISE!!!

If you’re searching
For the answer
To the riddle
Here on Earth,

The Riddle’s
Gone unanswered
From the moment
Of it’s birth.

Searching
For the answer
So many
Would pursue,

In favor
Of their honor
She provided
Just one clue.

Rise up
From the ashes
You decide
Which way to go,

Either up,
Down,
Or side ways,
Then you’ll need
To know.

You will Rise,
Like a flame,
Rise live again,

You will rise
Like a flame
Rise live again.

So Many Distractions

Published June 30, 2020 by tindertender

… Disguised as “choices”.

I like this one! And that one! Ooooohhhh, and this one too!!!!

Get it settled in your mind.

This lack of focus affects the whole.

Creating chaos energy will never bring peace.

Be at peace with your choice …

And nurture it so it becomes its full potential.

I think it is clear that the shiny thing that attracts loses its luster after a time and then the next shiny thing comes along …

Easily hooking those with lack of clarity and commitment.

Or maybe Alice is harboring all them wascilly wabbits, doling them out as needed for distraction.

Shades of Love

Published June 30, 2020 by tindertender

One of my favorite things to do is listen to the masculine sing songs of love and pretend he’s singing to me. It makes me smile, knowing that somewhere out there, someone would love to sing to me songs of love … and so I strengthen this knowing by inviting it into my daily living.

Robert Bassett is a new find of mine, and I love his songs. I have a few favorites I’ll share here.

I hope they bring you as much pleasure as they do me.

Someone Told Me To ‘Stay Safe’

Published June 26, 2020 by tindertender

And I thought, “Okay, I think I’ll go sing by the river and dance through a cemetery.

The dead probably won’t mind me being ‘too close’ …

Or will they?

One simply never knows these days.

It’ll be what it’ll be.

Done With The Trouble

Published June 22, 2020 by tindertender

Soon I will be done with the troubles (repeat, the repeated as harmony)

Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world,
with the troubles of the world,
The troubles of the world. Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world…
Gonna occupy my mind
No more weeping and a-wailing, no more seeking salvation, no more weeping and a-wailing…
Gonna occupy my mind.
No more weeping and a-wailing, no more big bank bailing, no more weeping and a-wailing…
Gonna occupy my mind.
Occupy Appalachia and occupy the bayou,
Occupy your soundwaves cos we will not be lied to,
Occupy your bank account and occupy your healthcare,
Occupy your garden cos oh my dear you best beware,
Occupy your mother tongue and occupy your neighbourhood,
Occupy reality, delivered up the best you could,
Occupy your homelands, occupy your public schools,
Occupy the pen and ink, occupy the law and rule
Occupy Wall Street, occupy your corner store,
Occupy the soundwaves, occupy your front door,
Occupy Wall Street, occupy your basic rights,
Occupy the frontlines and when it’s time step up to fight,
Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world, with the troubles of the world,
The troubles of the world. Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world…
Gonna occupy my mind
No more weeping and a-wailing, no more seeking salvation, no more weeping and a-wailing…
Gonna occupy my mind.
No more weeping and a-wailing, no more big bank bailing, no more weeping and a-wailing…
Gonna occupy my mind.
Soon I will be done (with the troubles)…

Oracle Reading 6-5-2020

Published June 5, 2020 by tindertender

You have power, and it is real. A secret will be revealed. You have an unexpected ally. Seek the truth. Try some magic!

Use you head rather than your heart. Formulate a wise strategy. Plan ahead for best results.

It is time to relax and be playful. Seek a balance between work and fun. Learn a difficult skill through discovery and play. Be curious.

Reading from the deck “Goddesses and Sirens” created by Stacey Demarco

A story told of long ago
Before they knew
They were powerful.
Materials ruled the world
They sang sad songs
Of how they suffered.
With narrow eyes
And twice sold lies,
A victims view
From inside a cube
My Love

Then all at once
But one by one
They heard the call
A simple song saying
“When would you like
To leave it all behind?
You can quit all your sorrow
Lose track of time
And jump in- surrender
Wash it all away
Jump in and remember
This is our game
My Love”

And now the tables have turned
And the scales have evened
And the Illusions
Are breaking at the seams
And the patterns
And problems
And prisons of the past
Will be pushed under the table
Never meant to Last
And we grow in numbers
Day by day
A familiar smile
Upon your face
My Love.

Then all at once
But one by one
They Heard the call
A simple song,
Saying, “When would you like
to leave it all behind?
You can quit all your sorrow
Lose track of time
And jump In- surrender
Jump in- surrender
Wash it all away
Jump in and remember
This is our game
My Love”

Settle Down Dear

Published June 2, 2020 by tindertender

now settle down my dear
won’t you take while to rest
with your hand on my hand
your head on my chest
and i’ll tell to you a tale
of a time we used to know
of an old woman in a cave
below the orchard grove

her fingers they were lily white
and her eyes were ocean blue
she was the first one of her kind
the world it seemed so new
one clue

you will rise,
like a flame rise,
live again you will rise,
like a flame rise,
live again

if you’re searching for the answer
to the riddle here on earth
the riddle’s gone unanswered
since the moment of its birth
searching for the answer
so many would pursue
in favor of their honor
she provided just one clue

rise up from the ashes
decide which way to go
either up, down or sideways
by then you’ll need to know

you will rise,
like a flame rise,
live again
you will rise,
like a flame rise,
live again
