Rocks



Rocks


For love I swallowed little rocks
He fed me--here baby- just a little one and then another
To get me used to rock flavor and texture
They hurt going down--burned my throat, sat on my stomach----
life kept going
I was full of rocks like a small boy with a collection in a bag
They scraped, they moved, they were heavy 
and I could feel every sharp edge
An assumption that everyone carried rocks inside of them and so should I
In survival mode I got used to them
The old me, beaten and bruised from the inside
Now a new me ------or really the original me, exposed
Raw skin and stomach and the rocks hurt so much
I want them out- they sit at the bottom on my stomach and stack up to my throat
I need the space to fill my body with amazing things
I am finished with these rocks and their pain
I want them out-----  the heaviness serves me no longer
The lesson is learned- I need the internal space and a respite from the collection
Beg for help- some is received but then a shrug and it is done---that’s all
I know that is all I can do
Go out there now with your heavy internal weight and be courageous
Drag your heavy broken body...pick yourself up. Handle it yourself, 

Never again eat rocks...my body deserves softness and light

It was such a stunning country, even from the plane. The sunflower faces beckoned, swaying slightly in the wind between the mountains and the most beautiful almost ocean sized lake I have ever seen. It was a whole new life, just beginning. Half of my life has been lived at this point and it was both scary and lovely to start over in a whole new world. We will come back to that start over part, little did I even suspect.There were so many things that struck me in this breathtaking place. I could write pages and pages (and may well do so) about the contrast between the giant United States and little tiny Switzerland. The Sw...

Eights and Circles

Bats and caves and really small spaces Hands to hold and smiles on faces Round and round in the grass we go Form a circle, no one says no Figure eights with our bodies, message for the soul For the child deep inside to play a role The frustration and fear are trumped by passion and awe Just listen to you heart and answer the call Ashes to ashes we all fall down Pick yourself up and spin round and round
