Because it happened....

The song finishes, the final credits, the last page the curtains come down.  That is just the way things are.  Sometimes we are lucky enough to get a sequel or an encore, and when we do… we have to make the most of it.  

Before I go, there are a few people that I would like to mention because they were there….

Gos.  Thanks.  Thank you for seeing light in my art.  Thank you for the way too late conversations about life, photography and silliness. 

Rhapzody.  Wherever you are, I hope you are well.  I miss our little conversations about family.  You are one of those beautiful people I would have loved to meet in person.

Tricky.  Thank you for sending me your skins to blog.  It has always meant so much when you sent me them.  I never felt very worthy of it.  I’m glad you thought I was good enough to blog them.   I’ll give you a shout whenever I’m in your neck of the woods.

Don :  I still owe you a date. 

Sands : set your monkey free !

Marg : Thanks for being so nice to me and giving me the chance to blog, all that time ago. 

Bloggers. Creators, event management:  work together, make beautiful art, do what you love.

Plurk friends : you've been entertaining, it doesn't matter how craptastic the day is, someone will post something to make me smile. !  I may just continue to read you when I can.

Cad : smacks you silly and quacks.

K :  ILY, miss you.  You know all this and much more. I need to be that shooting star now.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

And now, my time in the game is over.  There are many things I need to get done in the real world… time is just too precious now.  

Be kind to each other.

Slightly Cracked

“A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked”

Bernard Meltzer quotes

Surrender

"Sometimes what seems like surrender isn't surrender at all. It's about what's going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater." 

- Nicholas Evans, The Horse Whisperer

One Voice

When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a really good place. So, what we view our role as, is giving people that power.

Clear

Ask me why I keep on loving you when it's clear that you don't feel the same way for me... the problem is that as much as I can't force you to love me, I can't force myself to stop loving you.  ~Author Unknown

Fleeing

I know well what I am fleeing from but not what I am in search of.  

~Michel de Montaigne

 

I just noticed that this will be my 100 post on my personal blog.  How time flies.. to think how I've grown, into and out of things... I've cried and laughed.. I've been frustrated and felt weak but I've had some great friends to help me out along the way.    You know who you are.

Live Darkly

“I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.”
― Anaïs Nin

Quiet

You have the Answer.
