when i am not me

just lines to be read
lifted from a page
it's then i am free

it's then i can be
anyone, anybody
or just not me

self conscious - aware
let mellow to bare
what conjures below
rises to the air

a place in make believe
a place to become...
to be what u want it to be....

Is it me your looking for

Lazy Sundays, a sleep in until whenever, sunny day bbq or a driving adventure, come to think of it - What is it that you are looking for.

A romantic dinner for two, a glass of wine or more, having laughs or chatting down to the core – do you even know what you are looking for?

A modern day Jane Austen, a sure thing, a quick fling or a just never go there kind of ‘ing’  – whatever it is – are you sure you know what you are looking for?

Pealing back the layers, finding out what’s inside, knowing and taking your time –  is that the person you are looking for.

High energy plus, taking life by the scruff, making the most of every moment, climbing mountains until your stuffed  – is that what you are looking for?

Have you any idea, do you really even care, or can you be bothered, or have you not even thought - about what it is that you are looking for?

A crazy path of twist and turns, experiences that burn, the thought has you churning - are you even game enough to think about the kind of person you may be looking for?

Take a chance, life’s too short, have some fun, to keep company, have good conversation, just hangin out , or to just be close to someone – what ever it is – if you get the chance fill the gap and seek out what or the kind of who you are looking for.

Rose Petals

Immersed in a body of rose petals I sway side to side the water taking the petals like a raft in the sea; they rise and fall upon my skin like the water crashes to the shore. They are drawn and pulled from me as the water grabs them back and the scent of roses fills my breath. A cocktail of pinks, red and white;  colour my eyes and all I see is artistry at work.

In this one moment

I float in the water under the night sky with the stars and the full moon, it’s warm – just laying, relaxed, alone and miles from anywhere and anyone I float and let the water take me. My eyes close and the peace of the moment is upon me, I am in the now and the present and it’s gold. Energised by the moon as it glows above my skin I am replenished inside and out, white rushes through my body and I am cleansed and all that exists is just new – mind, body & soul.

Politics - blah...blah.....blah

So i am really over the election - in fact i am even over the voting booth for next weekend! in fact i hope i can even raise the enthusiasm to vote (online)

I can't believe that the political parties still spend so much time on pointing out the things that the opposition has done wrong - rather than spending the time on telling us what their own party is going to do.

i am so over the commercials and in fact if i get a glimmer that one is just about to  start i simply mute it or change the channel. so the result of this commerical campaign is negativity in my eyes and ears.

when i am 80 yrs old

my brother in law says to me that his motto in life is to experience everything life has to offer so that when he is like 80yrs old, there are plenty of stories to tell the grandchildren.

So about a month ago i spent a random 90 minutes at the local quietville pub - with the brother in law - i gotta say it was 90 minutes i will never get back and it will slip into the black hole of nothing when i am 80 suffering from a severe case of dimentia!

So bro in law - next time take me on a real memorable adventure :) gotta get back that 90min.........U owe me bigtime!

Friends

At a Christmas get together a comment was made that ‘friends are not what they used to be, that friends have become part of an online numbers game…’It bids the question, has our world become too virtual and hence our friends too?

Are our virtual friends quality friends?

It got me thinking about the types of friendships I have and where they exist (the real or virtual world) or both. Are both worlds as quality as the other for building quality friendships – well I guess that depends on what kind of friendship that is!

It’s a personal thing, each one to them selves. On reflection it appears that I have friends that cross over into both worlds (probably like most of you) no surprise there! But is the screen a defence from the invasion of personal space or as an excuse for making the effort to really catch up with our friends? Or do we value our online experiences just the same, and we just communicate more electronically than ever before?

So how do your friends sum up in the virtual world????

According to some of my friends - it’s not a question of a numbers game it is simply tyranny of distance, life and so little time that it’s just easier to communicate electronically and far easier than ever before. Is that going to be the eventual end of lunch with the girls or a night out at the flicks, Friday night after work drinks or the physical shoulder to cry on!

How many friends do you really have? Is it all about the numbers – a numbers game, a competition. Is your online network a measure of how popular you are?

Just – incomplete!
