I am your baby
you are my baby
I want your baby
Now, please
Skies of darkness and fear
eyes shut to the desire
cold and empty hearts
lust for death and doom.
How I long to uncover
the lies, the dust, the fear,
and warm and soft to spoil you
with love and laugh and glitter.
FOR my kids
Happy Valentine’s day.
Life is teaching me that I must start where I am right now. So I am beginning on Day 13.
Day 13
CHALLENGE
“Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively;
unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt
Make some lists:
Ways I have lived my life bravely…
-I have chosen the studies I wanted at University.
-I helped my mother disentangle herself from her despotic father.
-I married the man who set me free for a time.
-I am growing in a career that is controversial yet I keep my voice authentic as best as I can
Ways I have lived my life excitingly…
-I have travelled
Ways I have lived my life imaginatively…
-I am dreaming of my life,
I chose challenge instead of competence when…
-Not yet
This is all evidence that you have already lived your life as an adventure.
Now. What do you want to do next that is…
Brave: Leave my husband
Exciting: Write my books
Imaginative: Live in love in a new home by the water
Way outside your comfort zone: Driving on the highway.

I thought you were composed, strong, my father figure that I missed.
Later I learned he was weaker than you.
You thought I was a child, a silly girl waiting to be bullied into life
Your way.
In all seriousness, my dear, we were both mistaken.

I march through the wheatfield
Young
Rebellious
Unaware of my life force.
I march through the wheatfield
on a Spring Day
Eversince
I am awake
Aware that life is a field of golden wheat
waitng to be crossed
and loved upon
and procreated
Live and Love
and be aware that life is a field of wheat.
