Why Sleep Just Paint

Nothing is going on that I can't sleep. I woke up Wednesday morning full of inspiration so I starting writing. I have three pieces I'm working on for the blog in addition to my novel and novella. I've been a writing machine lately. Started out the morning writing and by late afternoon I was tired of writing so I played my guitar for a few hours then decided to paint. I started painting the man of my dreams and forgot to eat, I forgot to sleep. I suppose I was so wrapped up in my work I forgot the world even exists. By the time I realized maybe I should go to bed, it was time to get up so I just stayed up. By the time Thursday evening rolled around I was so damn tired I was getting cranky. I haven't had any disturbing dreams in over two weeks. Lately my dreams remind me of what's missing in my life......



Peaceful waters within my mind
Where I can leave confusion behind
To float in quiet, tranquil quarters
Within my mind, peaceful waters

I sail on the slowest brainwaves
In and out of secret caves
The world outside begins to pale
On the slowest brainwaves I sail

Becoming a part of the cosmic sea
Attuning to the energy
Sweet serenity fills my heart
Of the cosmic sea becoming a part

Inspiration flowing through me
As I see so much more clearly
Infused with a sense of knowing
Through me inspiration flowing.

Cheater and the Lunatic

A couple of weeks ago one of my girlfriends came over to my house with a man she works with. At first it didn't register but it didn't take long for me to understand that they were more than just co-workers. This friend of mine is co-habituating and in a relationship with another friend and has been for a few years. What am I to do with that, I ask myself? I know I don't approve. I surely can't allow her to hang out at my house with some fling from work. If I allow her and that man to stay at my house that means I'm ok with it. Which also would make me as guilty as her. I pulled her aside and told her she couldn't stay here with that man. They both had to go, with a quickness! I just don't feel it's right and I don't want any part of it. Why the hell would anybody do that? Why bring him here? Of all the places to go, she comes here? That makes no sense to me. Everybody knows I don't do the cheating thing, it won't fly, and your probably going to get some backlash and some flack for it. It don't make sense and I don't like it. We've all been hurt at some point in our lives. I know I have. I've been cheated on, I've been lied to, I've been deceived. It's emotionally draining and I don't understand why anybody would do that to someone they say they love. That isn't love and if it is I'm good with that. I mean, I get the whole lust thing and all. I'm no stranger to lust but damn do you not have any self control or what? I've never done the cheating thing so I wouldn't know by personal experience but it seems to me that it would be a lot of work, the cover up, the lies, the guilt, and everything that goes with it. What do you say to yourself to justify your actions? I guess I'm just not cut out to be a deceiver. If you wouldn't tell your parents, your friends, your lover, or if it's a big secret maybe you shouldn't be doing it. That's all I'm saying. If you have to hide it, it's not worth it. Do onto others as you want done onto you. It quite simple really!!

I've already talked to her about my feeling on this subject. I never asked her why she did it, I really don't care. It makes no difference to me. If your unhappy get out before you start something new. If not put up and act right. Be true to yourself and your lover. There is peace and comfort when your conscience is clear and your true to yourself and those around you. It's not like me to nag, bitch or complain more than just once. I've said all that I'm going to say. It's none of my business but she kind of made it my business when she brought him here. I don't like judging people or putting them in some classification or in some little box of fuck ups or whatever you wanna call it. I don't think I'm better than anyone else or without flaws. I just hold myself to a higher standard than that......

Night before last I was invited to my cheater friends home along with another girlfriend. We had dinner and a few drinks then her boyfriend came home. He was a raging lunatic. I've never seen that side of him before. She has told me a few stories but until you actually witness it for yourself you don't really have a clue. He screamed, ranted and raved for what seemed like forever. My first instinct was to get the hell out of there but I couldn't leave her with a mad man. Who knows what he may do. I've never seen somebody so out of control. I don't like men that beat there chest and get loud in an attempt to make a point. I can't speak for her but that would never work for me. In fact, that would be a one time thing and he'd be part of the past. I would dump him so quick his head would spin. How the hell she puts up with that crap is beyond me. I still couldn't tell you what he said and I'm an excellent listener. I didn't hear anything he said, in one ear and out the other. All I could think is what an ass hat!!!  It must have shown all over my face cuz he then yelled at me and I didn't say or do anything. I stood there with that OMFG your such an idiot. I can't believe how much of an ass you are look on my face. He had me all kinds of ruffled. I don't do raging lunatic. If you have something to say why can't you just sit her down and say it like a normal person. Why would you do it in front of your friends? I don't get it. I just don't understand how one thinks that blowing up will solve anything. You know, I'm pretty calm and cool most of the time. It takes a lot to get me stirred up. I hate to argue, I'll discuss anything until we can come to some kind of mutual understanding that both can live with. I like some kind of resolve though. Even if we agree to disagree. I'm ok with that but I'm not sure what happened over there. All logic went right out the window. After listening to him rant over I'm not even sure what for far to long I had enough. He slammed his fist down on the counter and yelled, "That is it". I have a sharp tongue and I'd been biting it for long enough. He got to see a part of me he's never seen before. The bitch goddess once again reared her head and said, "Your right, that is it"! "Enough! you sit down and shut your mouth. I've heard all I'm gonna hear for one night." He got the riot act like I suppose nobody's giving him before. It probably wasn't my place but damn, how much more can one take. I had more than what I could handle and was DONE. I don't blow very often but when I do it's usually a crowd stopper. No one said a damn word after that. It was nice and quiet, you could hear a pin drop. I'm not a yeller, I'm very good at making a strong impact and making my point.
 
I wish I hadn't been there to witness his blow up. I don't see him in the same light as I did. I don't know if I'll ever look at him the same way again. I don't know how she can lay next to someone who says such hurtful things. I couldn't do it........

Stalk or not to Stalk

I thought I had a stalker and I'm happy to announce that I kind of had a stalker but not in the sense of how we all think of stalkers. Two weeks ago, was a difficult week. I suppose I just had enough. I knew some guy was lurking in my woods. Initially the whole thought creeped me out. I didn't want to go out into my own woods, have bon-fires, or anything to do with anything outside because I was fearful of whom was out there and what there intention might be. A good stalker that does his or her homework would quickly find out I'm probably not a good person to stalk. Fear never lasts long with me. I will never stand idle and wait for something to happen.

I live a pretty quiet life other than when I'm working, promoting, working a show, or letting loose with the crew. I like peaceful tranquility. I play my music, guitar, and piano. Work on my novel, write my blogs, mess around on facebook, sometimes draw, and read daily. You can't see my house from the road. You have to either be let in or have a pass code to drive back here or climb over a tall wall and take a hike. When I have a fire you can see it for miles. I like fire, and my fires are big. Sometimes I'll have several fires going at the same time. One in the fireplace, one on the patio, and one in the pit. I've always been drawn to fire. Fire and water. I can loose myself either way.

I live away from the city, out in the country near the slope. I've lived in some big city somewhere for many years. Now that I can afford to do what I want and live wherever I want, I choose the country. It's not as convenient as the city but that's the only down side (well, you know other than thinking there's a creep in your woods). This is where I'm meant to be. I don't have to worry about annoying my neighbors with my guitar or music, I don't have to worry about my neighbors thinking I'm going to burn down the neighborhood with my fires. I don't have to worry about my friends peeing on the neighbors flowers and killing them or passing out on the lawn or howling at the moon or at each other. I don't have to worry about the neighbors bitching because I smoke so much pot that it emanates from my house. I don't have to worry about the windows, and making my neighbors weird because I run around half naked. Come to think of it, I think that's how I got my last stalker....

Live and learn, soooo........ I MOVED TO THE COUNTRY!!! On any givin day I am only me and I don't see any of that changing anytime soon.

The previous week wasn't good. I just had enough disappointments and everything else, and nothing was going as planned. The bitch goddess reared her head and decided to stalk my stalker just to shake things up a bit. I knew that bastard was out in my woods. I don't play very nice when someone invades my personal space. My personal space may span over several hundred acres but damn it I'm not called the little witch in the woods for nothin'. My brother and I geared up and went after him. It didn't take us long to find him. He didn't even know we were coming. Shitty stalker if you ask me. Let's just say, I'm scarier than him. I made him give me his wallet and found he's a damn PI. Can you frickin' believe it. I almost chopped the head off a regular ole Joe.

My ex hired him to follow me, to find out what I'm up to. Why does he even care? He has done everything under the sun to prolong the inevitable. It's so highly unlikely that I would change my mind about anything. Did he really think he was going to learn something he didn't already know?  He really shouldn't give me that much power. I didn't think he'd do something so ridiculous. He should know better, or maybe he doesn't know better. I don't even give a damn. This shit is over, I've been over it long before it was over. I suppose if that's what he needs to give him peace. I get it, I don't like it, but I get it. I just can't believe he wasted that much money to find out what he already knew. I also can't believe the determination of the PI. I mean to get close to me or follow me, now that is real work there. He got his workout now didn't he? I bet I'm the hardest case he's ever had. Men are strange creatures and do strange things.

I let the PI go since he wasn't a stalker after all. He did call the police on me though. The police came to my home. Didn't get past the front gate but they came none the less and hassled me about threatening the PI. That bastard is lucky I didn't stake his scrotum to a tree......

Logic vs. Metaphysics

This is another taboo subject for me. I don't like discussing how I feel and it's hard when I don't understand what I'm feeling. Harder yet when I don't like all the aspects. I'd  like to push it way down inside me and pretend it's not there but that isn't going to work in this case. I'll ignore it, change the subject, or do something to distract everybody from the questions I don't want to answer. I know a thing or two about distraction and I'm very good at it.....

In my attempt to continue on this path of openness I'm going to share my thoughts on the mystery man you've all been questioning me about. I'm not going to name anybody so don't ask. I will never tell, and if you pressure me it will only make me retreat, I still won't tell, and you'll get nothing. My parents and very close friends already know whom I'm referring to as for the rest of you, you'll just get a glimpse of what goes on in my twisted little mind. I'll probably ramble a lot and go from one subject to another and you'll probably notice I have an internal battle within myself. As far as "I feel" goes, at least I'm feeling something. Even if I don't understand it. I've been so numb for so long feeling anything is a step. It's nice to know that I'm capable of some kind of emotion. I'm not dead after all, imagine that. Ha!

I know I wouldn't be getting asked all the time about this if it wasn't so far out of charter for me. It's not like me to take an interest in anyone I have never met. Let alone on the other side of the earth, not to mention a great musician. Yeah, ok that last part might be a stretch. I've dated a couple well known musicians but I knew them. It's not like I stumbled upon them or vise versa. What bothers me most is superficial and stupid but true enough. I don't want to be one of those woman that chases some musician around for I'm not even sure what? Please tell me, I haven't become one of those girls I tease. I'm not some delusional fan with a weird crush. Right? If that's the case please just hang me now.......

I cannot explain this on any rational level. I'm a practical, rational thinker and whatever this is, it isn't logical or rational. It just is. That's why I believe I have this internal battle within. I live in my mind, I think way to much, I over analyze everything to the point I drive myself crazy. If I could get rid of the microscope I might be alright. I'll say one thing, then turn around and contradict myself immediately. I'm done trying to make sense out of something that makes no sense (logically anyway). In a metaphysical way it makes perfect sense. Why do I always feel like I only make sense to myself? Because I am misunderstood and I only make sense to myself......

This is different than anything I've ever experienced before all the way around. I don't even know what to call it. What is it? A crush, infatuation, a spiritual connection, or just insanity? I don't chase men, men chase me. That's how it is, that's how it is meant to be. I never have in the past, so why start now? Cuz, I can't stop it, and I've finally lost my frickin mind. Yup, I've let my mind wonder so far that now I cannot find it......

Being I am a sensitive, I can only go on what I feel around me, what the universe and my dreams tells me. If you listen carefully and quietly everything around us, speaks to us. I'm drawn to water and it speaks to me. The wind, the plants and trees, the animals, the mountain, fire, metal, the cosmos, all of it speaks a language. It will show you the way but you have to be paying attention. You just have to listen and be a good listener then it makes perfect sense......

 I suppose it started with the music. The first time I heard it, it drew me in like a vortex, and I wanted more. I'm curious by nature. The music was so powerful it sucked me right in. As I lay there listening, I can't help but wonder who the hell is the man behind the music. This is better than good, better than great, this is like a black hole that sucks everything in. That's what I mean when I say powerful music. I can't say I've ever heard anything quite on that level. The more I learn the more intrigued I am. Now, I want to paint him. Really, I want to touch him but I can't so I will draw. It's the next best thing. Every time I see a picture, or hear that voice, I want to reach out and touch him. It so frustrating at times, because that urge to touch him is just so strong. As I travel further down the rabbit hole the dreams start. Little flashes of this and little bits of that. "I feel" I guess is the keyword here. Don't ask me what, it's a bunch of stuff that I cannot adequately explain.....

This man has got me firing on all cylinders, and don't even know it. He knows I have a thing but I'm sure that's as far as that goes. When I write to him, I write whatever pops in my mind. I write it and send it so fast I don't have a chance to edit anything. If I was to slow down, edit, or wait a second before sending he'd get nothing but a hello and goodbye. In the past I've been drawn in by the music, physical appearance, sexuality, or intellect. This time I've been hit on all sides, all at the same time. It's somewhat of a sensory overload but I'm not complaining. I can't turn it off, he's not going anywhere and I have been blinded forever more......

The other day I respond to a post. I suppose it was a friend of his that made a statement to me regarding fish. I wish I could remember exactly what he said but it threw me way off. I didn't get the whole fish statement. I think I said something that probably makes no sense to anybody but myself along the lines of fish don't eat this worm. I don't know, I was so perplexed on the fish statement when I went back to re-read the statement it was gone. I suppose the guy deleted it for some reason, or was it ever there at all? Did I have a vision and didn't realize it or did I just imagine the fish statement? Hell, I don't know but it was weird....

After the Vampire's Ball we had an after party. I was pretty buzzed, maybe ate one to many magic brownies, too much hash and had plenty enough to drink. Someone said something that reminded me that I wasn't supposed to be there. I should have been on a damn plane. Kind of a buzz kill, so I went out back and laid under the stars to collect my thoughts. I look up into the night sky and I see the constellation Pieces just as clear as day. Of course right at that moment it hit me. I get it now! The fish statement and all. I didn't see any fish but should have. I can't believe I missed it. I guess you need to smack me across the face with a pair of fish. He is Pieces, now that makes sense......

This doesn't make much sense logically but metaphysically it makes perfect sense now. I see the world through a different pair of glasses. It's often stimulating, but too abstruse for the average reader. Try to stay with me here. I'm going to try for a lucid explanation and keep it simple to understand (I hope). I usually loose most of you when I go into the metaphysical world.....

Have you ever heard, The Music of the Spheres? How about Harmony of the Spheres? The music of the Spheres incorporates the metaphysical principle that relationships express qualities or tones of energy which manifest in visual angles, shapes and sounds. All connected within a pattern of proportion. The pitch of a musical note is in proportion to the length of the string that produces it, and that intervals between harmonious sound frequencies. The Sun, Moon and planets all emit their own unique hum based on their orbital revolution. The quality of life on Earth reflects the tenor of celestial sounds.  Astrology has a base 12 cycle in common with music. In music theory there are intervals which are more harmonious than others. If music theory can be applied to astrology, then the most harmonious to least harmonious aspects are conjunction, quincunx, sextile, square, trine, semi sextile and opposition. Astronomy and music are twinned in sensual recognition. Astronomy for the eyes, music for the ears, and both requiring each other.....

I believe any relationship should balance strengths and weaknesses. Too much of even a seemingly good thing is often bland and unproductive, meaning that two "astronomical twins" who have the same planet alignments, were born at the same time, in the same place, etc, are not always the most compatible. Rarely are even the most narcissistic of people excited about the possibility of being in a relationship with themselves. So healthy or positive synastry between two is about blending and complementing another’s energies to create a healthy synergy......

Consider the zodiac as a circle or belt of fixed stars surrounding the Solar System. These fixed stars serve as landmarks in the sky. As the planets orbit the sun at their respective speeds and rhythms, when viewed from earth they appear to be in a particular constellation of the zodiac (area of the sky). Aspects have to do with the distance between planets as they travel. Aspects are measured in degrees since they all are moving within a big circle around the sun. Each of the 12 signs of the Zodiac occupies 30 degrees of the 360 degree circle. For example, if Mars is passing through the area of Pieces and Venus is traveling through Virgo, at a certain time they will be exactly 120 degrees apart. This aspect is called a trine. A trine is considered the most positive aspect because it is between similar energies and therefore easily blended. It is between the earth sign Virgo and the water sign Pieces. If, however, Mars was in Virgo but Venus was in Scorpio, this aspect would be a sextile or 60 degrees apart. They are separated by one sign or constellation between them. The sextile is also a positive aspect because the energies complement one another. In this case they represent the elements of earth and water, which in nature need or support each other.....

Compatibility between a man and woman when a man's Mars is conjunct with (in the same position as) a woman’s Venus, this denotes a very primal and urgent attraction. They represent the opposite energies in the zodiac and in nature. Venus is the Female principle and Mars is the Male. The combination of attraction /Affection (Venus) and Passion (Mars) is 'the stuff of great love stories'......

I can apply this same principal to the yin and yang to give you a different view of the same thing. Yin represents female characterized as slow, soft, yielding, diffuse, cold, wet, and passive; and is associated with water, earth, the moon, femininity and nighttime. Yang represents male. By contrast, is fast, hard, solid, focused, hot, dry, and aggressive; and is associated with fire, sky, the sun, masculinity and daytime. Yin is the black side with the white dot on it and yang is the white side with the black dot on it. The relationship between yin and yang is like sunlight playing over a mountain and in the valley. Yin (literally the 'shady place' or 'north slope') is the dark area occluded by the mountain's bulk, while yang (literally the 'sunny place' or 'south slope') is the brightly lit portion. As the sun moves across the sky, yin and yang gradually trade places with each other, revealing what was obscured and obscuring what was revealed......

I never gave astrology a thought until my epiphany under the stars the other night. I'm a sensitive, I don't have to. They talk to me through emotion and feeling. I hear it whether I want to or not just not in the sense most think. When I'm asked how I know the things I know. I can't explain it. I get bits and pieces through many different things which is another thing I really can't explain. I'll go to bed with an issue in my head and wake up with a crystal clear answer and I don't know where it came from but I know it to be as true as I'm sitting here. You may have read previous poems and such that I have written with him in mind. I didn't know it at the time but there are lots of references to light. Now I understand where all those reference are coming from. He is light to my dark. That's gotta be why he is so calming to me......

So you see it's quite simple really. It's in the music, it's in the stars, it's all around me. I just can't believe it took me this long to get it. My actions may be quick but I'm slower than a damn snail. This is why I fight with myself. My logical side rejects this whole notion while my spiritual side affirms, confirms, and approves. It's like having the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other. My angels wings may be black and tainted but metaphysically she's kicking the shit out of logic until the next battle resumes.......

Everything that Matters

Yesterday was an extremely rough day for me. Sunday I returned home from a long weekend to find a letter that must have fallen behind the desk from the court saying I had to be there on Monday October 10th. I had plans and a flight scheduled to leave Chicago directly after the Vampire's Ball to go to Paris to see a great show for my birthday and meet a wonderful man. To find out on Sunday that I have to cancel my flight, hotel room, and show, didn't sit well with me. On the other hand this court date is a means to an end of a difficult chapter in my life. Timing couldn't be any worse, and there's nothing I can do about it. Luckily, there will be several other shows coming up this winter. So I'll still get to see a great show and meet a great man. I'll just have to wait a little longer. Patients is a virtue I have yet to acquire. Since I can't change it, I will change the way I think about it. It will be worth the wait because once I get there I'm staying awhile. I'm going to plant myself on the mountain, ski and finish my novel. With any luck at all my friend will come chill on the mountain with me. Since he's a writer as well, maybe it will be good for him. Never know where you may find some inspiration.....

I fell asleep Sunday night and had terrible dreams all night long of my step mother in the hospital. Her body has gone into toxic shock which is shutting down her organs. In the end they will cut off her hands and feet. I know this is going to happen, and it will be soon. I don't have the heart to tell my father just how bad it's gonna get. He's already upset and it's hard on him to see his wife of twenty years laying in a hospital bed in ICU.

I dreamt of this all night long. I'd wake up, stay awake long enough to where I didn't think I'd go back into that terrible dream to find I'm right back in hell, dreaming the same thing over and over and over again. This hell went on all night long. I hate knowing the things I know. I hate seeing the things I see. It takes a toll on me mentally, physically, and emotionally. Then to wake up afraid, emotionally drained, and all alone. I just had a complete melt down.

My brother from another mother, Dave. We somewhat talked about all this yesterday on facebook. Sometimes it's what you don't say. I told him what was eating at me. He responds to everything I mentioned except what's going to happen to my step mom. It didn't register for several hours that he got it. A few hours later, Dave is at my door. He drove all the way here even though I said I didn't need him to come, after just leaving me Sunday afternoon, all because I felt so alone, needed a hug, and someone to tell me as bad as it's gonna get everything will be ok. I was not ok yesterday, by any means and he always can see it for what it really is, no matter what I say, he get's it. Thankfully I don't have melt down's or bad days very often. I'm the incurable optimist. In a world of grey I'm pretty much always happy.

Dave's my rock, my best friend, and business partner. We've been friends since we were kids. Nobody knows me better than Dave. I couldn't have a better friend. He's been there for me through all kinds of crazy. I've called him from the mountains of British Columbia telling him I've lost everything. He packed up the motor home, and came to get me. I call him from Germany telling him everything has fallen apart and I'm done and wanna come home. So he sets everything up and gets me home. He's been there through my divorce, deaths of family and of the ones I've loved.  I love you Dave, you mean the world to me and I don't know what I'd do without you..... Thank you for everything!!!!!

The Witches Wand

You seek the magic and you find
the twisting path, the witches wand.
You learn the turning seasons ways
and walk the strange, enchated maze.
To bring forth from the barren soil,
a garden that will ease the soul.
Make what was broken, whole.
Through field and forst, road and street,
upon the witches wand you'll meet.
Spirits, humans, creatures, elves,
and all who seek to know themselves.
All wonder through the realms of dreams,
where imagination teams.
Pictures, music, sight and scent
all the beauty that is meant.
To sweeten and enrich our lives.
Like honey from the finest hives.
It lifts the spirit, shows the way.
Through summer, fall, winter, night and day.
So I walk with courage, sure of mind
upon the twisting witches wand.....
