New ears, New Walks,

Walking my dog with hearing aids up

I love the sound of:

Ayla’s nails tapping on the sidewalk

Car tires on hot asphalt

Leaves rushing in the wind

Hot construction workers banging, digging, whistling

Airplane engines roaring above

Doors slamming shut

Doors opening

People passing

Sounds of their shoes

Movement through new

Ears

Beautiful dog

WHAT???

Wrong numbers on a cell phone, or any phone
Are really fun for the DEAF

Hello?

Sigh, (what in the hell did they just say?)

I think you have the wrong number.
Ok thank you.

Why could I understand the thank you?

OOOOOOOOWWWWEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since my new living arrangements
I am sleeping on the floor on a little mat
In an 8X8 room
Packed with all the things I feel I need
Huge, floor to ceiling office armoire with my computer wires
Harey Carey
One antique vanity with mirror
One tall nightstand with TV
Tons of stuff everywhere
I love order
Got No ORDER

That leaves approximately an 6X4 area
For sleeping, walking, sitting

Oh yea
An office chair

MY BACK IS KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAY WAY

You know people,
Or rather
Single people, in general
Tend to hand out their most precious gift
Intimacy
Fairly, readily

I
Have always felt great pride in the
"I always go home alone"
Motto

Sometimes,
I wonder what it would be like and
I don't always find favor with those who don't want to hear my
Intimacy lectures

Especially at 2AM, body filled with liquor,

Eyes with
Candy,

And ears with
Erotica

I met B,
Awesome Libra
We talked about art and culture
Somehow, the intimacy subject was inevitably broached
(It was getting close to 2AM in a gay men’s bar)
How refreshing to see the comprehension,
Talk, spiritually with a gay man
And
AGREE

That's when he offered me the gift
Mental intimacy

He hasn't had sex, since his lover of 17 years passed away in January
And,
So much more
Thanks B!!!
You touched me with your honesty and openness
You touched me with that beautiful Libran soul
But most of all
YOU TOUCHED ME
And
NOT WITH HANDS

Hanging in Hi's and Low's

SWING HI

SWEET MARRIONETTE

AND

LOW

LOW

LOW

DAMN THESE HI'S

AND

OH

SO

LOW'S

THE SLIGHTEST

THING

FLOODS ME WITH
JOY
OR
PAIN

THIS ROLLERCOASTER NEEDS TO SERVE SOME
HORMONE PILLS

Thanks

To all those who have given me windows through their words,

THANKS

Blog depression has been setting in.

Losing It

You Are Not Crazy

Most of us feel a little crazy from time to time. Periods of high stress can make us feel like we're losing it, as can being surrounded by people whose values are very different from our own. Losing a significant relationship and moving into a new life situation are other events that can cause us to feel off kilter. Circumstances like these recur in our lives, and they naturally affect our mental stability. The symptoms of our state of mind can range from having no recollection of putting our car keys where we eventually find them, to wondering if we're seeing things clearly when everyone around us seems to be in denial of what's going on right in front of their eyes. For most of us, the key to survival at times like these is to step back, take a deep breath, and regain our composure. Then we can decide what course of action to take.

Sometimes a time-out does the trick. We take a day off from whatever is making us feel crazy and, like magic, we feel in our right mind again. Talking to an objective friend can also help. We begin to see what it is about the situation that destabilizes us, and we can make changes from there. At other times, if the situation is particularly sticky, we may need to seek professional help. Meeting with someone who understands the way the human mind reacts to stress, loss, and difficulty can make us feel less alone and more supported. A therapist or a spiritual counselor can give us techniques that help bring us back to a sane state of mind so that we can affect useful changes. They can also mirror our basic goodness, helping us to see that we are actually okay.

The main purpose of the wake-up call that feeling crazy provides is to let us know that something in our lives is out of balance. Confirm for yourself that you are capable of creating a sane and peaceful reality for yourself. Try to remember that most people have felt, at one time or another, that they are losing it. You deserve a life that helps you thrive. Try and take some steps today to help you achieve more balance and a little less crazy.

Wind Beneath My Wings Lyrics

Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

Lion's mane

Run like a race for family

When you hear like you're alone

The rusted gears of morning

To faceless busy phones

We gladly run in circles

But the shape we meant to make

is gone...



Love is a tired symphony

To hum when you're awake

Love is a crying baby

Mama warned you not to shake

Love is the best sensation



Hiding in the lion's mane

So I'll clear the road,
the gravel

And the thornbush in your path

That burns a scented oil
That I'll drip into your bath

The water's there to warm you...
And the earth is warmer...

When you laugh...

Love is a scene
I render
When you catch me wide awake

Love's a dream you enter
Though I shake and shake
and shake you

Love is the best endeavor
Waiting in the lion's mane

ANGEL,

Angel Lyrics
by Sarah Mclachlan

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance

for a break that would make it okay

there's always one reason
to feel not good enough

and it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction

oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins

let me be empty

and weightless
and maybe

I'll find some peace tonight

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here

from this dark cold
hotel room

and the endlessness
that you fear

you are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent
reverie

you're in the arms of the angel
may you find ...

some comfort there


so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn

there's vultures and thieves at your back

and the storm keeps on twisting...
you keep on building the lie

that you make up for all that you lack

it don't make no difference
escaping one last time

it's easier to believe

in this sweet madness

oh

this glorious sadness

that brings me to my knees

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here

from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear

you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie

you're in the arms of the angel

Chef

I am a gourmet chef.
I originally had other plans for the food I cooked last night,
Instead, I ended up feeding my daughter and her new boyfriend.
I have no leftovers, and that is a great compliment.
I watched as they devoured my Spicy, Cilantro, White Wine Reduction, cream sauce, with bits of Rhode Island Lobster and Carefully angle cut asparagus Over no fat low carb pasta. Fresh and sweet Atlantic salmon grilled to perfection and lemon butter glazed, grilled zucchini and red bell peppers. To accompany, there was fresh, steamed broccoli and portabella mushrooms cooked in a caramelized onion red wine glaze.
They brought bacon wrapped filet mignon, which they didn’t eat and baked potatoes that they took home with them. It fills a cook with pride, when your love is eaten with so much fervor.
I like this new boyfriend a lot. He is quiet and peaceful, but he has things to say.
He opens his mouth when intelligence beckons and lets my daughter pulse away.
Then interjects occasionally, to zone in and make her focus.
She needs this,
I think he does too.
It seems
They compliment each other.
I like that.
Good Luck Mejia

Ode to ETTA James, she keeps me company tonight

Fool That I Am lyrics
Artist - Etta James
Album - Her Best
Lyrics -

Fool That I Am
Fool that I am,For falling in love with you.
And, fool that I am,
For thinking you loved me, too.

You took my heart,
Then played the part of little coquette.
And, my dreams just disappeared
Like the smoke from a cigarette.

Fool that I am,
For hoping you'd understand.
And thinking youWould listen, too,
And, oh, the things I had planned.

But we couldn't see eye to eye
So, darling, darling, darling,
This is goodbye.
But I still care, but I still care,
And oh, fool that I am.
Oh, but I still care,
Fool that I am.

Welcome, A Dramatic Soliloquy

Please welcome to the blog ring
A Dramatic Soliloquy!!!
She is a piece of me
And developing
Me
Her starlight will shine
Beyond my time
And her conscience,
Drive,
Philosopher
Mind,
Surpass
Mine
A wish and knowledge
Take what I have shown you
Words you love and hate,
Fly Like an Eagle,
Into your
BEAUTIFUL FATE

All Tangled Up

I sit amidst the emptied boxes of Wires,
USB, CAT5, RJ47, Wires
Telephone Wires
Cable Wires
Too MANY WIRES

I chose to sort them
Like my life
Its mistakes,
Accomplishments

Every cord and cable a twisted mess in stacks of boxes,
Wires I don’t even know what they are for
Like my destinies and dreams
Like the wicked pain inside

Frustrated and determined
I sort the miscellaneous
Jumble of confusion
Within those boxes

Phones and alarm clocks
Wrapped around those Wires
The two things I hate the most
In life
My life

Time passes so quickly
Sometimes,
When your untangling wires

And far too slowly
When trapped and twisted
Within the mass
Of life’s entanglements

Funny how I chose this task first
Glad I did
Reconcile the painful
Tangled
Box of wires

Waves Of Healing

Ocean Meditation
Like us, the sea is ever-changing.
And, like us, the earth's vast oceans appear at a distance
to be stable and homogenous.
But beneath the mask of solidity
that both we and the sea wear,
there lies unpredictability, sensitivity, and power.
There is much we can learn from the ocean,
representative as it is of our inner landscapes.
The rough sounds of the sea's waves are spiritually soothing,
and its salt can purify our physical selves.
Yet not everyone has the luxury of living by the shore
or even visiting the coastlines where water and land meet.
The ocean, however, exists in our conscious minds,
put there by images we have seen and descriptions we have read.
Wherever we are,
we can access that mental image
and use it as the starting point
from which we can help to heal our emotions
by meditating on the sea.

Chasing,
Not I
Always wondering
Head lost in the sky
Blue Eyes

Crisp,
Edges worn
Tattered
Torn
Heart Sworn

Chasing
Must I?
We Know
Why.

Iron And Wine

I am sitting in my new room
Tiny little space
That will take some adjusting
Mourning the losses
Hung-over as all hell
Paralyzed by my mental weight
Downloading songs
I have an awesome little program
Hit genre and every artist name is searchable
I mean,
Every artist!!!
Well I’m in love with this artist sounds
Iron and Wine
I have the lyrics to one of my favorites below
And a link to the website
Garage born
Musical genius
Philosopher of the gritty streets.
Enjoy!!!

Jesus the mexican boy
Jesus the Mexican boy
Born in a truck on the fourth of July
gave me a card with a lady naked on the back
Barefoot at night on the road
Fireworks blooming above in the sky
I never knew I was given the best one from the deck

He never wanted nothing
I remembery
Maybe a broken bottle if I had two
Hanging behind his holy even temper
Hiding the more unholy things I do

Jesus the Mexican boy
Gave me a ride on the back of his bike
Out to the fair though I welched on a $5 bet
Drunk on Calliope songs
We met a home-wrecking carnival girl
He's never asked for a favor or the money yet

Jesus the Mexican boy
Born in a truck on the 4th of July
I fell in love with his sister unrepentantly
Fearing he wouldn't approve
We made a lie that was feeble at best
Boarded a train bound for Vegas and married secretly

I never him nothing I remember
Maybe a broken bottle if I had two
Hanging behind his holy even temper
Hiding the more unholy things I do

Jesus the Mexican boy
Wearing a long desert trip on his tie
Lo and behold he was standing under the welcome sign
Naked the Judas in me
Fell by the tracks but he lifted me high
Kissing my head like a brother and never asking why

Morton Salt

When it rains...
I don't know which of the many
Cause the DOWNPOUR
In my EYES
A great friend and sweet soul is
Gone
I never had a chance to say
GOOD BYE
He died
ALONE
Without a friend
Estranged from the world
That had been his land
As well as
Centuries of HIS Ancestors,
Louisiana!!!
He was married to my Mom
Long AGO
Didn't have much in this world
But
That Big Heart
And
Innocent Smile
I can see you smiling

Strange is the world of Me
I have been deaf most of my life
I thought I was just a quiet person
HAHA
Now I need to talk
Noone wants to hear
At times my pain needs to hear it's words
and then I speak
only to be told
SHUT
UP
You are depressing
Stay Positive
Or my most favorite
they gaze offf into some other shiny place
I am positive
I just sometimes have to speak
the unspeakable
To work it out
Sorry to all those
Who can't bear to hear
I need to learn
Take out the Damn Hearing Aids
And Understand

Galloping Gourmet

I forgot how beautiful
I am,
A group of 4 precious little ones
Unveiled a past me,
lost
The longing screams
Mama, Mama
Hailed my heart
I realized it was me they called
A memory was jogged of 3D,
The Little Ones Pied Piper
A parade of starving mini mights following me down
A poverty stricken,
Racially repressed,
Parents missing
Town
Playing games and finding joy
Erasing the helpless reality
Of Violet, Louisiana.
I wondered why they came to pay homage to me so many years later.
I forgot,
Me.
Scalloped Potatoes.
They kept asking me about those potatoes 25 years later
With not a phone call or contact
To hold dear our connection.
Now I remember the games we played to appease their starving bellies.
Who has potatoes?
I do, I do!!
And can we find some cheese,
Who has some cheese?
We had to collect from several empty homes where they resided in force.
Milk?
Now we have a meal.
Strange how something so small
An action so lacking in complexity,
Shaped a town of children,
And
Me.
