Thanks to Desdemona, I am Ready to Get Laid (I Knew That Would Get Your Attention)

Dear Friends;

If plants are truly an indication of our capacity to share in a successful relationship- then I am ready.

My plant, Desdemona has taken over. It is as if she is a throw back to a pre-historic era. A time where everything was larger and in excess. At the very least, thriving with beauty and greatness.

Desdemona is beautiful indeed. Her leaves are large and supple filled with exquisite mottled color. A grand mix of green and white. Many of her leaves span the size of my hands. She is a Marbled Pothos. And I love her greatly. I spoil her with purified water and have her housed in a cloisonné pot I purchased on one of my many travels. She resides on top of my antique chest of drawers, where she has quite taken over. She is now extending over the sides and front making it difficult to access the contents within the drawers.

She brings me such a quiet pleasure. And I truly love her, this houseplant experiment of mine.

I care for her. I love her. And she brings me peace. I have never thought I would derive so much emotion from a plant, but I do. I love her simplicity and vibrancy, the energy of her very life.

Air, water, care, love, space, time, attention, and devotion. All the aspects of a relationship. In such a perspective, every connection I have will have the possibilities of such epic proportions and grandness.

Speak to Me Forsoothly and Mine will Surely be Thine...

Dear Friends;

There is a voice I long to hear. Every morning when I wake, it lingers in my mind. Leftover from words whispered in my sleep. I would know this sound anywhere. If I could not hear again, I would still know this sound. I would feel the vibrations, the resonance.

This voice is wondrous.

When heard in reality, I cling to it. I hang on every word spoken, cleaving each syllable in my head and storing them away to revisit later in the dark of night before I drift off to sleep. It is this sound that instills a peace, stirs my emotions, brings a heat to my passions, and sparks a joy in my soul.

The great power of a single voice should never be under-estimated. Such greatness can make miracles happen with just the intake of a breath. Such power can change everything with a single word, a ripple in the vastness.

Know Dear Friends, that each voice has this power… What you choose to do with it can affect others so very deeply. From touching their lives and dreams, to how the world is in its continual growth and expansion…

We each have a powerful voice, how are you going to use yours?

Change is Incredible...

Dear Friends;

A special friend of mine traveled great distances, in part to see me. He has been gone for the better part of a year, so when I heard he was heading out west, I did what I could to cover the remainder of the distance home.

We met up and talked. And this very shy friend of mine put himself out there and took a risk.

When I declined the invitation, my Dear Friend understood. However, he admitted that I had changed greatly in the past year. It is true, I have. And a lot of changes have happened in the very recent past.

I apologized for not having things turning out the way he expected- for being different. And then he gave me the greatest compliment. He said I was not what he expected- I was so much more. Sometimes it makes all the difference in the world to hear how far we’ve come, how much we’ve grown and changed. And from a man of very few words, to extend himself so far, to share such a gift, is truly priceless and special.

I am lucky indeed.

And the Horoscope says:

Mutual expectations:
This influence will show you in a positive way the duties and obligations that you have to live up to in your relationships. This will not be especially difficult for you, because you get considerable gratification from being of service to your loved ones. The reality of your emotional relationships is extremely important to you. Because you want relationships that are real, this is a good time to sit down with a loved one and arrive at a conscious understanding of what you expect from each other. A relationship can be ruined by not knowing what each party demands and needs from the other. Today you can make this clear to both lovers and friends and thereby minimize a possible source of trouble in your relationships.

Funny I was just thinking of this… Sometimes I really do wonder if there is something to be said for a consciousness that has last for countless civilizations over the course of centuries…
