The breath of your kiss upon my lips
the gentleness of your fingers exploring
the scent of you exciting me
the newness entering my being
bringing ecstasy
Days of old
gone
yet not forgotten
A co-worker came into my office this morning and said, "Holly, the most amazing thing just happened!" She said she went outside this morning to feed the birds and 50 feet from her door were 2 turtles. She then asked me, "Have you ever seen 2 turtles mating or do you even know how they mate?". I thought about it and realized I'd never thought about it before and asked her how they mate. She was totally in "awe" while talking to me. To continue her story, she said she then went back in her house to find a camera, but it didn't work. When she went back outside, the male turtle was on top of the female with his 2 legs down under some leaves, and he was moving his front legs as though he were swimming and the turtle was humping away.
I was born in Wilmington, NC - the place they say the hurricane is going to land. The hurricane named "Irene". I've often thought of returning to the beach to live, but, as always, never carry through. Perhaps it is the thoughts of hurricanes visiting. Probably not. It is the thought of too much sand. I like or rather I love visiting the beach but my heart soars more towards the mountains, higher ground.
I watched "Dances With Wolves" this weekend. I had forgotten how much I truly enjoyed this film. Tonight, I am watching a documentary about the filming of this film, which only confirms why I love this film. Native Americans are so real. They touch the core of you. Yes, my great grandmother was Cherokee. Indians are not wild. They are gentle, living from the soul of their being. White men paint them red. Yet, to me, the color "red" is passion. Spirit.
Love me enough
to trust me
to be loved
A love so innocent
opens me up
Love me enough
to trust me
to be loved
I trust you
to
love me enough
My daughter left for Florida last weekend with her boyfriend and her boyfriend's mother. This is the pic she sent me last night. Today, she text me saying they had to go to an attorney's office to sign papers so her boyfriend's mother could get her grandfather's fiddle, which her grandfather made, out of her aunt's house. Her boyfriend's mother plays a guitar and sings in a band here in Nashville. Anyway, the next text I received, Beth said they were driving now with the fiddle and Aunt Stonny's ashes in a jelly jar in the trunk. I thought, "what"? She then text me telling me her boyfriend had a very interesting family. I asked her, "where are you taking Aunt Stonny's ashes"? She replied, "I love it! We spread her ashes at her own house, then to a neighbor's house who took very good care of Aunt Stonny, and then the beach. Aunt Stonny is everywhere!" I could only smile.
