In order to be whole.

There is in every one of us

reasons to move forward.

Move forward

to keep yourself alive.

To make yourself whole.

Lie still with me and watch

the images I know

that will help us push on

in order to stay alive

in order to be whole.

Hiiii. :)  So I'm currently sitting here finally on my bed with my scarf and jacket still on, chilly from the cold air, and anxiously awaiting my heater to warm my apartment so I can actually do anything else. Hellllllo end of October. :) 

Things I am thankful for this very moment :  My sweet dog's welcoming greeting,  steaming hot tea,  the parking space right out front of my place tonight, Whole Foods staying open until 10:00, and melt in your mouth blondie brownies.  Not to mention the soft sheets, lavender walls,  steep hills, tree-lined streets, Victorian buildings, and stars above making up my world here and now.  Happy sigh.  It's a beautiful night indeed. <3

This song makes me feel as though I'm mentally flying, I will listen to it from the window seat of an airplane one of these days, and it's The XX, so not only is it sensual and eargasmic but incredibly calming. <3  Listen to it from beginning to end, enjoy the ride and have a wonderful sleep.

Some sort of paradise.

"Do you they collide?"  I ask, 

 Keys out of the ignition, seats slanted back.

You smile, as though you know the secret to some ancient question
"Of course they do.  If you just squint your eyes."

So you squint right then.  And so do I.
We gazed upward at the stars above,
  burning and dancing through the night.
"Do you see it now? They collide."
I never thought of myself as quiet, much less silent, 
but I was then because all I could think was that
 I wanted to reach up and pull down that violet sky,
like a sparkling, safe light 
to wrap around you and I,
where we could forever live.......
 in some sort of paradise.

"You've applied the pressure
to keep me crystalised
And you've got the faith
that I could bring paradise."

The same moon.

Some nights I escape the city streets for a glimpse of a brighter moon. I wonder if you're possibly doing the same, worlds away, and if maybe...

maybe you'll appear here soon.

The xx.

"Cause we can give it time, so much time with me."

Heart skipped a beat.

The xx had to grow on me a bit but now I really like them.  They're a young band from the UK with a unique sound that seduces the listener with lingering, sweet voices, negative spaces, and sensual tones.  They are quietly powerful, and this one is my favorite as of now....

"Please don't say we're done
When I'm not finished
'Cause I could give so much more
Make you feel, like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor

It's been a while
And you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you

Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you

I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more

No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough for me

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before."
-The xx
