A Lioness & A Peony...

 

I Will Never Be A Well-behaved Woman...

 

I will never be a well behaved woman.

I would rather pass my days lying in the middle of dirt roads, staring at the full moon with a bottle of summer red in my palms.

I would rather have kids when it suits me, not when society expects or throws shoulds.

I would rather live in a hammock on a beach for six months, and write like my soul means it.

I would rather be horribly broke at times, than married to a job because a mortgage payment has my ass on a hook.

I would rather own moments, than investments.

I would rather eat alone, than sit with women who bore me at 'Wives’ Night.”

I would rather swim naked with bioluminescence, have it fall like fireflies from my hair, my breasts, my back.

I would rather do handstands naked in the moonlight when no one’s watching than pick bridesmaid dresses.

I would rather drink seven year old rum from a sandy bottle, smell of smoke and ash than sit in church.

I would rather learn from life than rack up debt, in a desk.

I would rather drink the ocean, again and again—celebrate being madly alive.

I would rather my love be defined by love itself, and nothing more or less.

I don’t need a ring on my finger to prove that I am in love.

I would rather take the chicken bus, than spend useless money in safe gated communities. Sit beside a goat, listen to raggaeton and eat green mango with sugar in a plastic bag sold from the woman who harasses the bus each time it stops.

I do not need a degree to prove that I am intelligent.

I do not need to own a piece of earth with some wood on top of it—to feel successful. No one truly owns the land, anyway—we just think we do.

My savings account has diddly to do with my richness.

I would rather sprawl my single ass out like a lioness each morning and enjoy each corner of my empty bed.

I will take a job I love and freedom over a pension, any day.

I will not work and work and work to live when my body is old and I am tired.

Stocks are for people who get boners from money.

Not everyone should have kids, and my eggs aren’t expiring.

I will not drink the societal Kool-Aid on a bus, nor will I drink it on a train.

Not on a plane, with a goat, in the rain, in the dark, in a tree, with a fox, in a box!

I will not jump through societies’ hoops and red tape, the treasure hunt in the rat race we chase.

If we must have milestones—mine will be measured by how much joy I have collected at the end of each day and how often in this life I have truly, deeply, opened.

Seek, see, love, do.

Janne Robinson

If it doesn't open...

 

...It's not your door.

Fear not... Immortal eyes are always watching...

 

Please watch to the end... It has such a happy ending!!!...

It took 120 hours to unite this lovely momcat with her beautiful babies... 😻😺😹

 

You're doing great...

 

Nothing is normal. No one is okay. You're doing great.

Today is a good day...

 

Today is a good day to smile more, to worry less,, to find something positive, --- yes, a great day to be the best positive version you can be of yourself, to work hard, to be humble, to enjoy your day, --- to live, to laugh, to love.

In the word "Heart," is the word "Ear"...

 

It's time to remember who you really are...

 

It's time to remember who you really are, not who you're told to be. You are a powerful infinite being. Stand strong in your power, confidently.

The Ones Who Will Never Fit In...

 

Nature will never deceive you!!!...

 

“Drink water from the spring where horses drink. The horse will never drink bad water. Lay your bed where the cat sleeps. Eat the fruit that has been touched by a worm. Boldly pick the mushroom on which the insects sit. Plant the tree where the mole digs. Build your house where the snake sits to warm itself. Dig your fountain where the birds hide from the heat. Go to sleep and wake up at the same time with the birds – you will reap all of the days' golden grains. Eat more green – you will have strong legs and a resistant heart, like the beings of the forest. Swim often and you will feel on earth like the fish in the water. Look at the sky as often as possible and your thoughts will become light and clear. Be quiet a lot, speak little – and silence will come in your heart, and your spirit will be calm and full of peace.”

--- Saint Seraphim of Sarov.

(Nature is talking to you, are you listening???)

The Moon...

 

💖💖💖...

Do not compare yourself to others...

 

Do not compare yourself to others. Both the sun and the moon shine, but in different ways. 

I BELIEVE...

 I believe that Love, Decency, Wisdom, Intelligence, Caring, Honesty, Integrity and Honor will prevail over Hated, Intolerance, Greed, Selfishness, Stupidity, Cruelty, Anger and Strife. All we have to do is never give up the fight, or the Bad Guys win. And, that is unthinkable, for us and for our beautiful planet.

If someone shows their true colors...

 

If someone shows their true colors, don't try to re-paint them.

The Girl's Night...

 

When you're all in rotten moods, but you're meeting up for the Girl's Night anyway...

Please protect trees...

 

They are not just trees... They are cherished protection for animals and birds; they are their homes. They are much needed to hold soil to prevent damage from erosion. They provide delicious fruit to eat and wood to build.  They are beauty and strength. Please protect trees; honor trees; plant trees. Thank you. 

You fall in love with a soul...

 

You don't fall in love with a body. You fall in love with a soul. Once in love with a soul, everything about that body becomes beautiful. --- A.B. 

 

She sat at the back and they said she was shy,

She led from the front and they hated her pride,

They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance,

They branded her loud, then were shocked by her silence,

When she shared no ambition they said it was sad,

So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad,

They told her they'd listen, then covered their ears,

And gave her a hug while they laughed at her fears,

And she listened to all of it thinking she should,

Be the girl they told her to be best as she could,

But one day she asked what was best for herself,

Instead of trying to please everyone else,

So she walked to the forest and stood with the trees,

She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves,

She spoke to the willow, the elm and the pine,

And she told them what she'd been told time after time,

She told them she felt she was never enough,

She was either too little or far far too much,

Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak,

Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek,

Then she found a small clearing surrounded by firs,

And she stopped...and she heard what the trees said to her,

And she sat there for hours not wanting to leave,

For the forest said nothing, it just let her breathe”

Highly Sensitive Beings...

 

Highly sensitive beings suffer more, but they also love harder, dream wilder and experience deeper horizons and bliss. When you're sensitive, you're alive in every sense of the word in this wildly beautiful world. Sensitivity is your strength. Keep soaking in the light and spreading it to others. --- Victoria Erickson.

The Faeries In The Grass...

 

I am homesick for a place I'm not sure exists...

 

... One where my heart is full. My body loved. And, my soul understood.
