I've learned some key things this past week.....or maybe it's a lifetime that has brought me here. Who we are, our truth, how we feel, what we believe, is like a personal elixir, making us full, alive, passionate about things perhaps, allows our soul to flourish within our human skin. Though, to live in our [...]
A friend of mine died this weekend. It was sudden and the details don’t matter. This news felt like a kick in the gut, I literally felt all the blood rush to my head as I heard the news. My breathing actually stopped. I had to have it repeated several times to really take it [...]
I heard this just today... it's mans supreme arrogance that he can screw up his life. I believe in divine order and that all suffering stems from human attachment and ego. At least that's my thinking today. And, that we are so much more powerful and full of loving kindness that we know or which [...]
Some days I feel that life is quite random and then others, entirely planned, the universe having it’s perfect reaction to shift and turn us where we need to go, where we need to wake up. I think? It’s awful some of the time, harsh and cruel really, feeling like being bandied about in a [...]
....to be able to give birth to a dancing star.' I didn't say that, it was all Friedrich Nietzsche...that wily German classical Scholar, Philosopher and Critic of culture, 1844-1900. He also said, 'There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness,' and... 'I'm not upset that you lied [...]

One of my favorite poems of hers is 'For Johnny Pole on the Forgotten Beach'. I have a brother named Johnny who I love dearly. [...]
Isn't it the truth. How many times have I known, for SURE, that angels were hovering about me as I did one stupid thing or another....drove like a maniac and should have run head long into a wall or fallen down a rabbit hole smothered myself by putting my foot in my mouth. I am [...]
I learned a boatload today and I feel all the growth pains. At the moment it feels just awful. I know I have angels who swarm around and protect me (from myself mostly) and who make sure I get a speeding ticket (today) to make sure I don't have a crash and kill myself. They [...]
These times are trying indeed....one pellet, then two, the third sneaks up on you...not full shots, just little annoying hits, trying to take one off course. But my course is clear, it always has been....though the road I travel keeps changing. And it is this time of year I think of Robert Frost. His words [...]
A friend shared with me today that revenge is taking poison thinking it'll kill someone else. I don't do revenge. I prefer dancing and the light. BB Webb
