a prompt
I stoped by Sarah's site today and felt prompted to share some thoughts...
I yearn for...a place of my own where I can create, write, practice yoga, meditate, nap, look out the window, daydream....maybe a treehouse, a cabin in the woods, a cottage at the sea, a little studio in the backyard...a place just for me (and yes, I will invite you to come and visit).
I ache...for my grandmother. Every day. I ache with the missing. It has almost been a year. A year. This amazes me. I ache for her.
I adore...spring flowers. All of them. Purple, pink, orange, white, red, yellow, fuschia, blue, striped. Everywhere. Makes my heart so happy to see the earth awaken from her slumber.
I want...to find the goddess inside me. The sexy, beautiful, strong, wild, superhero, wise goddess inside me.
I need...to continue to let go every day. Let it go. Take a breath. Let it go. Let go and have more fun. Let go of the guilt, anger, sadness, ego. Let go and throw my head back and laugh and laugh and laugh. Let go. And live.

I want a treehouse too. Or a cottage covered in ivy and climbing roses, or a cabin in the mountains with a creek running right past it...
And you don't need to "find" your goddess -- you know right where she is. You just need to coax her out more!
What a thoughtful, evocative list. I can relate to every part of it.
I can so relate... I yearn for a place of my own too...
WOW - what a list, and wonderful things!
I don't want just a work area by the sea...I want to LIVE by the sea! I want to look out on the great Pacific every single day of my life and go to sleep listenting to it every night.
:( I am sorry you are missing your grandmother so much.
Keep dreaming, lovely one. Could be that one day our dreams will come true!
such simple prompts
with such complex answers.
and i have always always always
wanted a treehouse.
:)
You took the words right out of my mouth. Seriously the only thing that is different is my grandma died 10 years ago in July.
I am going to do this as well. I am gonna wait a few days though since I did something similiar last night as well. I love it!
Thanks for always making me think!
This list is so inspiring. I relate so much to your "I need" list. Let go breathe, let go breathe. thank you for sharing.
This was lovely!! Like you and Laini, I would love to have my own treehouse.
This was so honest and open and fresh. I felt really happy by the end - thank you so much for sharing this!!!
your goddess is there...i can feel her from here.
just be seeking her out, she will come up wildly.
this post breathed energy into me.
thank you for that.
Great list. I think most of us crave 'a room of one's own.' :)
Wonderful list, it really spoke to me.
You are just like the Spring flowers that you love so much--you are full of life, truth, and beauty!
I hope you get your treehouse someday (for some reason, that's the space I'm "pulling for!"). I also hope that you are able to find comfort, somehow, in your ache over the loss of your grandmother.
Thank you for you gorgeous words! Keep blooming!

o man, what a great post! can't wait to visit you in your treehouse. :-)
Oh I'd love to come visit! I want that kind of place too--a tree house would do fine!
THank you again for poetry thursday. It's so wonderful to come here for your selections!
God how I can relate to this post! I yearn for all of the same things you mentioned in that 1st paragraph too! I also hear we may see you here in Portland, which would be so wonderful to meet you! I really hope this will be soon. And I am glad to be back and up to date as to how you are doing. I hope you are in the middle of a wonderful day!
Wow, what wonderful words to read first thing on a Monday morning...I needed this. Thank you!
me too me too! I have the same needs... thank you for articulating it so wonderfully.
