Calm between the storms
We are really dancing now
A miracle of two
On the same wavelength
Almost like a reward
For some key level conquered
Surpassing expectation
I’m thrilled by the unfolding
Now that you’ve found what you were looking for,
What are you going to do with it?

Pondering my next move
Playing it safe or rolling the dice
Mulling over the limitations
And blessings bestowed on me
Wondering if I have a home
Never had a community
Where people could find me consistently
For more than a few years
Wondering if ideas can find my tribe
Scattered across the globe
No use trying to gather us in one place
It may take a village to raise a child
But I’m not joining a commune

Enjoying the diversity
The Russell Brands
I guess I wanted this chapter for myself
Or we all did
Could I have known what my genes would hold for me?
He told me
We all need to learn to trust ourselves again
But with these binary brains it’s always this or that
It’s all a polarity and correcting from one end to the other
Priding ourselves on finding balance
Until you strip the mind of its awareness of poles
And all is one
Being is all
No where to run from
No where to go
It all seems silly
But while we rent space in these brains
Best to play along
Pretend that saving lives is important
Pretend that increasing happiness is spiritual
Because nothing else makes sense in this incarnation
Except that escape does feel more divine

Lived a thousand lives in parallel
None felt as right as this one
The patterns manifesting
They start to feel like me
I’m choosing as I go
Yeah this feels right, right now
This is something Christina would do
I’m writing my own story
Or acting in my script
The dualistic
Always moving
Fool for love
Animal friend
Seeker of solitude
Warmed by smiles
In a hurry
Making time

How much do we let slide?
And why?
Defines us
It’s what we know and don’t know
It’s what we are capable and incapable of
It’s what we are confident about
Or what we fear
What we let slide tells others who we are
It tells us who we are
We’ve got ever-evolving jobs on this planet
Ever-evolving skills and capabilities
So we will face ourselves over and over
What will you do about it now?
And what will you continue to ignore.

Work still teaching me
How to be healthy
I stop breathing
Stop blinking
Not unlike taking drugs
I am easily absorbed
Easily pulled in
Intoxicated by its alternate reality
Still haven’t learned to merge my worlds
Always looking for the next fix

L-rations and the perfect high
Pulling through together
And naming our light
Lessons and labels
A weekend for love
Never expected to be comfortable
My cup poureth over
I was only happy when it rained
But now that I know
I’ve set out a pail

All fun and games
Until someone gets arrested
Gets a stroke
Cancer from the monkey virus
Playing dumb
Got no luxury of thinking time
When you’re in survival mode
We wanna go somewhere together
Starting small
Go big or go home.

Tonight I want to be a spinster
I wanna weave words
Into magic blankets
Cover us both with them
Create a world where only beauty and art exist

Our dream fort

I want to write a song that makes your soul dance
I want to be a part of the unfolding
A beacon for the lost
A curator of knowledge and truth

The wise old woman
Who sits in the town square
And points you in the right direction
Or offers you a shoulder to cry on
Or ears to listen

This brief life is a strange little ride
Consciousness poured into funny-looking vessels
Hoping that our mutation adds something to the mix
Forgetting we are One in many

So I’m gonna write tonight
I’m tired of reading
Inspire myself
Spread my wings and fly
