Emily Is Speaking Up: I Did Something Radical →
emilyisspeakingup:
I did something radical today. One of my friends sent me a link to an article that made me cringe. It triggered my fears from my background and childhood. I started to panic and wanted to claw at my skin when I saw the title “guard your heart” and realized the post was in support of this phrase….
dirt (rewrite of an old stream of consciousness)
damp soil
and how the fineness of the powder of the wet dirt
settles into the lines of my hands
which someone once told me meant that I would be affluent with eight children and have a husband at the age of twenty six after firmly establishing my career
and die at the ripe age of seventy eight of natural causes
whats natural about loss other than it happens to everyone
and we lose to death...

our first may day
today
i was burdened with the weight
of missing you.
i tried shifting it from one shoulder to the next and then tried to balance it evenly across my back but no matter where i put it, the strain just kept pressing down

and walk
so gracefully
maybe even carrying two...

The Compass Song by Marilyn Newell
in the in-between.
It’s what happens in the in-between that defines the significance, the color, the weight of the bookends of our existence. Thousands upon thousands of words collected in between two slabs of marble: all of one’s thoughts and heart and belief and memories collected in between two ears separated by a couple of inches.

Crazy Love
Worry implies that we don’t quite trust that God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what’s happening in our lives.

last night
A certain special someone presented a song they wrote for me…
then told me it was actually a duet…
and then took me to the Yucaipa post office at midnight with all of their recording equipment so we could record it together in the 24/7 lobby with the good acoustics (high ceilings + tile floor = natural reeevveerrbbb)
Happy Birthday to me! ;)
I don’t like to gush all the...
