Love and Its Conditions

For the record again, I do not believe in conditional love. I love unconditionally. Not if you do this or that or say this or that. Do understand that just because of that means one can be any type of way. You can stay in love or choose not to. But love, if real; will still be.

something I miss....

Hmmm.....there are a lot of somethings I miss. I miss the access to the water and waterfront in Detroit. I miss the beauty of Florida. I miss being able to perform more on stage and I miss my musical associates and acquaintances. I miss some of my private quiet times I had in my 20s before child. I miss traveling. I sometimes miss my 1st car. Some of my friends that have moved from here (metro atl). I always remind myself that growth is life and my memories are sacred. So I cherish them not unto sadness but gratefulness for the experiences w/the people, places and things.

Motherhood

I've always said since I've become a mother that motherhood teaches you patience. I have had to exercise so much patience. When I had this child of mine; I just fell in love! Truly! Such beauty replicated from my body to form her own individuality and uniqueness. The spirits have definitely have had a hand in our growing relationship. We are definitely blossoming. I am also enjoying every moment although I can say that for a brief minute; I admit that I didn't appreciate it as I should have. I'm a free spirit and a stiff....(Imagine that!) and I, w/the aid and counsel of the ancestors, have learned to relish every moment w/my baby.

Parental reflections

I think it's interesting reflecting how your relationship or lack of relationship w/your parent impacts your psychological development when dealing w/other adults once you are one. 

Ex-Felon Love

I have dealt w/many ex-felons since let's face it; felonies are really easy to come by in the community. At any rate, I personally theorize that it depends on the crime and the time. Thankfully, there are many that have grown in their lives mentally and spiritually. However, I have found that those I've attracted to me are/were still dealing w/the pressures of society. One dear one has underwent counseling and I can truly say that this has really assisted his disposition a little bit. One dear one is an artist (I attract myself mostly- artists) and I do not see felon in him. Truthfully, I see them as regular people until they display otherwise. I see more 'civilians' who are moral felons that cause more worry than many of those who have been incarcerated. The formerly incarcerated loves I've had the pleasure of attracting have moved on and will be incarcerated again based on principle of life if the issue comes up. I don't feel no ways concerned. Hopefully, this all makes sense and not like a bunch of rambling....lol

Of Romance and Spirit

Romance being of the flesh and spirit being apart from it but connected..... The goal in romance puts one in the thought of a story told out loud to those viewing the pictures moving. Boy meets girl. They express interests that are common among them. Mutual interests creates a bond. Time marking progression. As they congruently travel alongside one another they grow. This has the ability to continue until one or both meet the physical trancension or transition. None of this has to go too much further as far as talks of ethereal movements. This is however the outside story that many will see.... The romance. The physical movements. The words spoken between them. The spirit of it all is the silent power. Having a spiritual bond in the romantic structure could be argumentably the sexual exchanges between the man and woman. There are any intercourses whether there are just word exchanges or physical fluids. This would then speak of the intertwining of the inner parts of the two. The spirit of the two also being in common and mutual agreement keeps the story alive and well even after the physical has transcended.
