this is the most exciting thing! erik, who draws & writes one of my very favorite blogs, turned one of my senryu {text here} into a collaboration. i honestly can’t say how excited i am about this. <3<3<3 jillc thanks so much!
i forgot to tell this amazing poet i was being a bit of a turtle about my birthday and then she wrote this and then i cried - kind of a lot of good cry - because sometimes people write things and it makes me cry well (good, i mean) a lot.
this poem is too amazing not to reblog. i can’t believe it’s for me! <3<3<3 i’m the next best thing to speechless! thank-you so much, Beth!
My small intuitive Self Told me A goddess became bored Of watching lives lived From an omniscient Perspective She wanted more To feel To love As we do And so she left her den While her clan howled after her She grew small And naked And pink And then Climbed…
there is so much… and i’m not often left speechless. but this woman, and this woman… all i can say is beware the power of threes. particularly when it comes in female forms bonded via alchemy. <3<3<3
maybe one day stars lose their grip and start dancing they take the moon as center and whirl around like naughty kids maybe one day we will watch this scene together as our hands holding with the innocent power of being side by side perchance the world we failed in is ending and the stars are heralding our happiness maybe one day we become light and stretch out to the end of the universe and I’ll be fascinated by the fact I’ve promised you that
there are no words. Gabriel. my souldoppelganger. such *light*, love. <3 jillc
nts: G wrote this in turkish and i tried to translate on my own, well duh, with the help of google translate. it was hideous and robbed me of all the deep beauty in this. thanks so much G for translating for me! i would love to hear the turkish in your voice :}
if you’re not reading M. - bigsadloss for you 8p - she’s that rare combo of brilliance and humor that makes words irresistable. and {pardon my squee} she wrote words “for” me!
note: It appears I’ve started some kind of unholy snowball here. I have now added five contributors to my delightfully smartassed project. I also have…
yay!!! i got a contextomy and with a number LXV…just so wow. thanks M. you kick the most ass of all. awkward<3 jillc
Last night my daughter and I had dinner with a dear friend (i love ya, Pinky!) and during the course of conversation she said, “Oh yeah, it *is* great having a crazy adventurous mom, but I anchor you. And it’s good for you, or who knows what all directions you’d float off in.”
Then we agreed. We’ve been a pretty good team. She’s so amazing and I don’t know what I’d do if it weren’t for her. Or where I’d be.
She posted this video this morning and specifically told me I should watch it. I think she’s trying to tell me, crazy as I am, there are some things I’ve taught her well. All I can do - is hope so.
That and revel in awe at what a magnificent creature she is, puzzling over how I got so lucky with this motherhood gig. I’ll just keep struggling, to be worthy of it.
i love you my sweetest pea - all the way around the universe and back again an infinite number of times and beyond. xox moms
the only thing that will make this more perfect, Mike - in my sometimes less than humble opinion - is when there is a live audience feeding energy back at you, and everyone there is caught up and sitting back and feeling it and watching it and hearing it and making it…explode.
gigantor love for this (and big thanks for indulging me - you kickass!)
